The vibe of this pod is real, its true life, its mental health, it’s the actual chaotic shit show we call life. It’s how we handle it as mums and how we can better learn to handle it as mums.

Being the mum is so bloody frustrating at times and it doesn't help when the hubs just wants to "try" and fix it all.
What we really want is validation and I'm going to tell you how to get just that.

Todays ep was inspired by the book I've linked below "The Post Natal Depletion Cure" by Dr Oscar Serrallach.
I talk about what post natal depletion is and how important it is to get on top of. A must listen for any pregnant person or new mum or any mum for that matter!

This is not a normal ep this week sorry team, however ...
Apparently my "phone voice" is quite soothing to the people.
I've recorded a couple of breathing techniques and and a few minutes of "calm" if you need a tiny bit of time to bring yourself back to neutral.
Enjoy if you wanna, skip if its not your thing!

No matter your situation, mothers day can be complex, for any number of reasons.
In this ep I've touched briefly on how we can support other mothers if this day is tough, and how we can best support ourselves.
I do touch on infant and pregnancy loss, so if this is a trigger for you, then its ok to skip this one.
I do reference the following article: https://www.houseofwellness.com.au/wellbeing/advice/cop-mothers-day-grieving-mum

This ep discusses post natal depression and anxiety. I talk about my personal experience and we go into the signs symptoms and how to get help.
This is an ep for everyone, not just for pregnant and new mums. The more we ALL know, the better we can support those who need it.

Hey team, you asked .. I answered.
"My partner never understands that I need to escape sometimes. How can I make them understand how hard being a mum is?"
"I had PND with my first child, now I want another one but I'm scared it will happen again."
"My child is pre-teen and suffers with anxiety. I don't know how to help. What would you suggest?"
"I'm scared that if I come to counselling I wont know what to say or how it will go."
