What does preparing for motherhood really look like? Weeks before her due date, MaKenzie Ramsey joins Stephanie Montgomery for an honest conversation about pregnancy, mental health, and the support new parents need. MaKenzie shares how her background in developmental psychology shaped her expectations, what surprised her during pregnancy—including navigating migraines and delayed access to care—and how she’s getting ready for life with a newborn. Together, she and Stephanie talk about building a support network, giving yourself grace, and asking for help before you reach your limit. One takeaway to remember: don’t wait until you’re uncomfortable to speak up for what you need.
