Speak, Mother | Motherhood Burnout Recovery & Identity Reclamation
You’ve kept quiet long enough. This is your invitation to get loud.
Speak, Mother is the podcast for women who feel buried under the weight of modern motherhood—and are finally ready to reclaim their voice.
Hosted by Shannon Warner, podcast producer and founder of Resonant Collective, this show gets real about why motherhood feels so damn hard—from invisible labor and mom guilt to systemic pressure and emotional burnout.
Whether you're a stay-at-home mom drowning in mental load or a working mom juggling deadlines and daycare pickups, you’ll find validation, truth-telling, and sanity-saving support here.
Through unfiltered solo episodes, intimate interviews, and voice-first storytelling, we’ll spill the tea on the systems that silence women—and explore what it means to come home to yourself after kids.
You’re not broken. You’re waking up.
Speak, Mother.

This week, our guest is Staci Berkovitz. In this episode, we're diving deep into Staci's incredible journey through adoption and the profound challenges and triumphs she faced as a mother. From the initial decision to adopt to navigating the complexities of attachment and trauma, Staci shares candidly about the rollercoaster of emotions and unexpected turns. We explore the impact of the lack of attachment on brain development and how it manifested during her children's teenage years, leading to valuable insights for anyone considering opening their home to older children. Staci's narrative takes us through heart-wrenching moments of letting go, unexpected reunions, and ultimately finding solace in the belief that life, despite its twists and turns, unfolds exactly as it should.
