Transitioning Into Motherhood During a Global Pandemic with Kensey Butkevich

Welcome back to the What Nik Knows podcast! YES, we took a 3 week break. With a full client load and CCA still going strong, this solopreneur needed to put more attention on my clients. SO I decided that I needed some space and that’s exactly what we did! So yay, we are back!

Today I'm joined by Kensey (@sleep.easy.clinic) who is a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst approaching 12 years of clinical experience. After becoming a Mom 8 months ago, Kensey soon realized how challenging newborn sleep can be, and wanted some support. This led to her discovering an additional passion to help other families facing the same struggle, and she completed a child sleep consultant course.

Here’s some of the things you'll learn on today’s show:

1. How to balance our needs and our children's'

2. How social media narrates motherhood

3. Postpartum depression/Postpartum anxiety

4. Self care as a mom

5. The motherhood mental load + anxiety

6. How motherhood impacts relationships

7. Giving yourself permission to set boundaries

8. How the pandemic has affected motherhood and our children's' growth And SO much more!!
