Season 2: Breaking the Stigma: Why Maternal Mental Health is the Heart of Dam Parenting

It’s finally here. To kick off Season 2 of Dam Parenting, Eva returns for a warm, honest, and direct solo episode to mark Maternal Mental Health Month. This month is the very foundation of this podcast—born from the need to support mothers navigating the unique emotional hurdles of raising children in a foreign country. After a successful first season exploring the "shadow topics" of parenthood, we are stepping back into the conversation to ensure no parent in the Netherlands feels they have to struggle in silence.

In this season opener, Eva reflects on the journey so far and sets the stage for the raw, real topics coming your way. This is an invitation to our international community: your voice matters. We want to hear what you’re facing, from the joys to the invisible burdens. Join us as we continue to build a village of support, breaking down stigmas one honest conversation at a time.
