EP 151 Bringing Awareness v. Normalizing: The Critical Line Between Motherhood Realities

Postpartum University® Podcast

Here's the things with normalizing the struggles of modern motherhood.

In our attempt to create awareness about the challenges that we go through in motherhood, we've inadvertently normalized aspects that aren't the essence of true motherhood and really shouldn't be happening in the first place.

In this episode, we're sharing:

• Aspects of motherhood that have been labeled as "normal" such as severe mental health concerns and restrictive sleep training techniques and who is actually benefitting from the "normalization" of these struggles.
• My own personal experience with going against the mainstream advice of newborn care and how it benefitted my mental health immensely.
• What we can do instead of continuing to accept things "as they are."

Let's have a conversation about the parts of motherhood you've been told to accept as "normal" and where you're pushing back against that norm.
