Emotions Don't Come with an Off Switch
Manage episode 407514469 series 3562597
In this episode I invite you to learn more about emotions and mental health during pregnancy. We discuss how emotions don't come with an off switch and how society can pressure us to feel joyful an excited at all times during pregnancy. However, this is a time where anxiety can be at an all time high. We will discuss how it's important to understand and acknowledge these emotions, rather than trying to mask them. I will share my own journey of learning more about emotions, my emotions during pregnancy and the things that I am finding helpful. Ultimately, whether we are going through pregnancy or any other period of our lives, we can find ways to understand and welcome our emotions, to accept them and know when to pause and when to look for support.
This is a story about how the understanding, compassion and support we show to our pregnant friends and our family in general can change lives. Together, we can do it.
I can't wait to see you inside and tell you more about it.
