The Real Reason You’re Struggling After Baby: It’s Not Just Hormones

This raw, unfiltered episode dives straight into the real challenges of postpartum life—beyond the hormone talk and clinical labels. Dr. Nicole lays it out: bringing a baby into the world doesn’t just shake up your body, it shakes up your entire life, surfacing old wounds, unresolved traumas, and deep-seated beliefs. She breaks down how physical symptoms can be signals from your subconscious, not just medical issues, and offers a powerful invitation to see postpartum as a chance for deep self-reflection and generational healing. This is for every mom (and dad) who’s ever wondered, “Is this just hormones, or is there something deeper going on?”

3 Key Takeaways:

1. Postpartum is a Mirror: Having a baby brings unresolved emotional wounds and subconscious patterns to the surface—don’t ignore what’s coming up, it’s feedback for growth.
2. Symptoms Are Signals: Physical issues (from thyroid to gut to heart) often reflect deeper emotional conflicts or misalignments, not just “bad luck” or “bad genes.”
3. Healing is Generational: Processing your own stuff isn’t just for you—it breaks cycles so your kids don’t inherit your unhealed trauma. Invest in yourself, and you invest in your family’s future.

 

 Quotes: 

1. “When you bring a baby into the world, everything shows its face. All the shit that you haven’t processed, all the shit that you brushed under the rug… everything shows its face.”
2. “Your kid is literally a little mirror of all your shit that you haven’t dealt with. So if you can fix yourself as a parent, your kids will be way better off.”
