Motherhood has a way of bringing everything to the surface.

In this episode of Yes, And!, Bunny dives into the changes a woman experiences in her life before, during, and after birth with certified hypnotherapist and Motherwell app founder Angela Howard.

This conversation starts with a question we all want an answer to: why do mothers so often put themselves last, and how deeply conditioned that pattern really is?

Throughout this interview, Bunny and Angela explore how burnout becomes normalized in motherhood, how phone habits and constant dopamine hits keep nervous systems dysregulated, and why “hot mess mom” culture can quietly reinforce self-neglect.

Angela also dives into how hypnotherapy works beneath the conscious mind to rewire long-standing patterns, regulate stress, and create moments of real calm, even in the middle of full, demanding lives.

This episode is about questioning what you’ve been taught to carry, and what becomes possible when caring for yourself is no longer an afterthought.

Remember to share this with a mom you love!
