What if what you’re really missing in motherhood isn’t more advice — but true connection?Marika Frumes is the founder of Mysha, an intentional community built for modern mothers. What started as a small WhatsApp group during her pregnancy — born out of a need for honest, vulnerable conversation — has grown into a thriving network of women supporting one another through every season of motherhood.

Marika and Evelyn discuss identity shifts, imposter syndrome, and the quiet loneliness that can come when your closest friends aren’t in the same life chapter. Marika opens up about the personal journey that led to Mysha’s creation, how she transformed isolation into community, and why meaningful connection doesn’t happen by accident — it starts with intention.

What if the discomfort you’re feeling isn’t a sign something’s wrong—but a sign that you’re finally getting closer to who you really are?

Psychotherapist Liliana Retelny joins Help Them Bloom with Evelyn Mandelt to explore the often uncomfortable—but ultimately empowering—journey of self-discovery. Together, they dive into how parenting can trigger unexpected questions about identity, how anxiety often points to deeper unresolved wounds, and why therapy can be a gateway to a more authentic life. Liliana shares her insights from years in practice, unpacking how cultural and familial expectations shape us, and how letting go of perfection can lead to deeper connection—with ourselves and our children. This conversation is an invitation to embrace discomfort, ask big questions, and grow into the person you were always meant to be.
