287: Solo: How I Work Towards a Healthy and Happy Mind and Body

In this solo episode, I unpack my mental health trajectory from childhood to now, and how I’ve moved through several different cycles of anxiety, depression, and postpartum journeys. I share what it was like growing up in a high-anxiety household, how anxiety became my baseline throughout college and into my working life, and how I was often rewarded for my high-performance anxiety. I talk about how a post-concussion doctor’s appointment made me understand my anxiety differently, how I began taking anxiety medication, and what my medication experience has looked like for both pregnancies. I also share my experiences with postpartum anxiety and depression, intrusive thoughts, and ADHD, how I moved through these stages of my mental health, and what my mental health looks like right now, from non-negotiables throughout my day; to what I’m currently striving for towards a healthy, happy mind and body.Key Takeaway / Points:On growing up in an anxious householdOn being rewarded for high-performance anxietyHow I moved through my anti-anxiety medication journeyOn going on Sertraline while pregnantOn dealing with postpartum anxiety, intrusive thoughts and PTSD from my former head traumaOn experiencing my second pregnancy and how my mental health was differentOn my decision to finally go on ADHD medicationMy non-negotiables for prioritizing my mental healthMy current challenge with tending to all my buckets Listen to my conversation about maternal mental health and ADHD with Dr. Sarah Oreck hereThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

282: “Who Am I Now?” Matrescence and Identity Crises After Becoming a Mom with Psychotherapist Elizabeth Baron

In this episode, I sit down with Elizabeth Baron, a maternal mental health psychotherapist, to discuss all things matrescence: the physical and psychological changes that come from being a mother.

She also shares why the four to six month postpartum mark is often significant for mothers, what the “Ghost in the Nursery” paper reveals about reparenting ourselves, how we can allow our children to become who they are, and more.Key Takeaway / Points:On matrescence, what it means, and the history of the termOn matrescence being a long-term journeyOn ambivalence, the constant push-pull, and the shame that comes from itOn the “apology tour” of motherhoodOn the range of experiences that come out of matrescenceOn the unrealistic image of the perfect motherOn the grief that comes with leaving your pre-motherhood lifeOn the scientific data from studying matrescenceWhy the four-six month postpartum mark is often significant for mothersOn the comparison culture that has tainted our expectations for ourselvesOn the “Ghost in the Nursery” paper and reparenting ourselvesOn parenting your children individuallyOn allowing our children become who they areOn the reconciliation process in motherhoodHow Elizabeth fills her cupThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
