98: Recognizing Postnatal Depletion & being a business owner mom during a pandemic

Today’s guest is a business owner and mom of a toddler who is adjusting to social isolation during this pandemic like all of us mommies. Danielle Clayton's brand Salt Gypsy is a self funded project from the heart that has reached many women surfers worldwide. Seeing that there is so much uncertainty right now with our global economy, Danielle admits she’s trying not to “freak out” and stay calm. I appreciate her candor as I know so many of us can attest to this at the moment. 

Today we talk about: 

• The realities of trying to keep a business running during a global crisis

• A heart condition that has led Danielle to face some of her biggest fears

• How big life events, tragedies, near misses, health issues can lead us to inner growth

• How Danielle used sun-burned buns & legs to start a her women’s surfing water leggings.

• How her background in art and working in the surf industry fueled her confidence to start her own brand

• Working hard during pregnancy and how “softening” is much needed sometimes

• Moving into motherhood; the amazing, the jarring and the challenging

• The plight of a woman athlete or surfer-always craving independence & having to prove strength to male dominated arenas

• Sleep deprivation and postnatal depletion in new motherhood

• Getting her postnatal depletion diagnosed

• Learning the lesson of self care when you crash

Mamas! How are you holding up? I am holding an IG LIVE this Tuesday April 14th at NOON PST to talk about creative ideas for moms with social isolation measures in place during these challenging times.

We will talk about creative ideas for being home with littles and kids of all ages. We will talk about self care and how we will approach that now that we are more insular. We will also discuss wellness practices like meditation, journaling, reading etc. during this time as well as staying healthy mentally and physically. Come join me! @soulmammaspodcast.
