In a world where social media can portray perfect, I am keeping it real this week and sharing my experience postpartum, so that people who don’t feel like things with a newborn are perfect and also don’t feel alone. In this episode, I share my experience on maternity leave, why exactly I couldn’t wait to go back to work when I was so blessed to have a baby, and exactly how I took control of things to bounce back to a close version of my former self because having a baby does change you.  

 

Episode Highlights:

  • My struggle with postpartum anxiety and intrusive thoughts

  • Lack of sleep & lack of control 

  • Unrealistic expectations of new moms

  • How to balance life and motherhood
