Building Community in Motherhood with Marika Frumes (Founder & CEO of Mysha)

In December 2019, entrepreneur and soon-to-be mom Marika Frumes felt isolated in her pregnancy journey. As the first of her friends to become pregnant, she struggled to find a supportive community and real conversations about the emotional and physical changes of motherhood. A late-night search for relatable pregnant influencers left her empty-handed, sparking a powerful realization: if she couldn’t find the motherhood community she needed, she would have to create it. On this episode of EmotionAL Support with Alessandra Torresani, Alessandra and Marika dive deep into the importance of maternal mental health, postpartum support, and the power of community for moms. They explore the creation of Mysha, a safe and supportive network for mothers, and discuss: •The challenges of postpartum experiences and why moms need more open conversations •The role of vulnerability and shared stories in breaking stigma around maternal mental health •How music, spirituality, and connection supported Marika’s childbirth journey •The transformative impact of building support systems and nurturing relationships in motherhood This conversation is a must-listen for moms, parents-to-be, and anyone passionate about mental health, postpartum recovery, and creating community in motherhood. https://myshapods.com/ (New Pods launch each month and October/November launches in 2 weeks.
