WICKED GOOD MOMCAST | EPISODE 2

Prioritizing Mental Health for Moms

Guest: Boston Moms team soundbites

Welcome back to the Wicked Good Momcast! Today’s episode is all about what it looks like for real moms to prioritize their mental health. We know there are so many obstacles standing between busy moms and self-care. We will hear from our own Boston Moms team members about the creative ways in which they maintain their own mental health, and we will hear from Meghan and Shannon about their unique journeys with mental health care. This is an important conversation, and we are so glad you’ve chosen to listen. 

About Our Guest

The Boston Moms team is comprised of 25 women who live in different parts of Greater Boston + beyond! They all have different backgrounds, different family makeups, different beliefs and different careers, but share in their love for Boston and the belief that while motherhood is HARD, it doesn’t have to be LONELY.

Meghan Block
Meghan was born and raised on the South Shore and attended college in Boston. After college, she married her high school sweetheart and followed him to Charleston, SC, and Groton, CT, where he served as a submarine officer in the United States Navy. Military life was an adventure, and after six crazy years of service (and two babies later!), the pair decided to move *home* to the South Shore in 2016 and put down some roots. Meghan is the proud owner of Boston Moms and work-at-home mom to William, Benjamin, and Caroline, born in 2013, 2015 and 2019. She loves meeting new people, encouraging moms, celebrating motherhood, and supporting small businesses.
