Are you feeling burnt out with all the demands of parenting? Or maybe you feel like you're falling short of being the perfect mother you want to be. There are so many pressures that come with being a mum, so that's why looking after your mental health is something we need to be talking about!
In this episode, we discuss maternal mental health with Psychologist, Johanna Badenhorst. We find out what some of the most common mental health issues facing mothers are and what to do if you or someone you know may be struggling. We also discuss what parental burnout looks like and what does it mean to practise 'good enough parenting'? This episode does cover some heavy topics around postnatal depression and anxiety, so a trigger warning is advised for anyone who may find this distressing. If you or someone you know is struggling with their mental health, links to helpful resources are listed below.
