In this episode, Dr. Dunni addresses the challenges faced by mothers and the importance of breaking free from the three S's that hold them back: Silence, Shame, and Stigma. Through personal anecdotes and powerful storytelling, Dr. Dunni encourages mothers to embrace their voices, reflect on mistakes without shame, and defy societal stigmas. She emphasizes the significance of seeking help, normalizing mistakes, and letting go of societal expectations to empower mothers to prioritize their well-being.
