More Than Mom With Dr. Nichelle Haynes
Motherhood changes everything — but it doesn’t erase you.
Hosted by perinatal psychiatrist and mom Dr. Nichelle Haynes, More Than Mom is a podcast for women in the thick of it all — navigating identity, mental health, and the quiet, powerful work of finding yourself in motherhood.
Each episode offers real but gentle conversations about the transformation no one prepares you for. From the science of matrescence to the grief of lost selves to the slow, hopeful process of becoming someone new, this is a space to reflect, reconnect, and rebuild your sense of self with compassion.
Whether you’re overwhelmed, unseen, or simply craving a moment of reflection, More Than Mom is here to help you feel more grounded, more understood — and more like yourself again.
