Postpartum University® Podcast

Struggling with postpartum depression, anxiety, and PTSD left me paralyzed with fear and uncertainty.
Join me as I reveal my personal journey through these dark times and share how recognizing and validating these emotions became the first steps toward healing. We’ll explore the therapeutic tools like cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR that can help mothers overcome postpartum trauma, empowering them to face future pregnancies with renewed hope and confidence.
Emotions run high during postpartum, often creating a whirlwind of conflicting feelings.
Learn why building a strong, judgment-free support system is crucial, and how the right kind of help can transform a challenging postpartum journey.
From the benefits of therapy to the importance of proactive support and self-care, we uncover the societal gaps in postpartum education and advocate for better preparation and understanding.
Hear about the duality of loving and hating the postpartum experience and the fears that many mothers face about having more children.
Your postpartum journey doesn’t have to be walked alone.
We emphasize the value of open communication with healthcare providers and the life-changing impact of holistic approaches like mindfulness, meditation, and proper nourishment.
By breaking the silence around postpartum depression and anxiety, we can support one another on the path to healing.
