The Postpartum Doctor: why a hustle mindset will break you in motherhood and what to do instead

This week's episode is with Dr Serena Rosa, a doctorally prepared women's health nurse practitioner and founder of postpartum Dr. Her mission is to change the narrative around postpartum and motherhood- showcasing that it can be beautiful, expansive, transformational, and healing.

In this episode, we discuss postpartum because that is Dr. Serena's specialism. However, this episode goes beyond that, and we chat about:

• The pressures we put on ourselves as mothers and how to be much much kinder to ourselves.
• Where does the drive to 'do it all' to be productive, and why do we find that drive so hard to reconcile once we become mothers?
• The incredible brain changes that happen to us when we become mothers and how it explains why we feel so drastically different.  

I really hope you love it – it's a great one to listen to, even if you're beyond the postpartum days of motherhood.
