Welcome back to the New Mom Boss Podcast!
Many new mothers suffer from the stress that postpartum brings. But a huge stressor that tends to loom over their heads is phasing out of their maternity leave.
Just as soon as you find your rhythm, things change once again and you have to adjust to yet another routine.
I’m excited that my guest, Dr. Megan Gray, was able to join me on this very important topic. Not only did she experience these postpartum struggles firsthand, but she also brings the valuable perspective of a practicing OB/GYN.
In our conversation, Dr. Gray shares about her postpartum experience, the gaps in her education/training regarding the fourth trimester, and her advice to new moms finishing out their maternity leave.
Some big takeaways are:
While everything in life seems to be shifting, remember that when you stick to your core values, you can face it all with confidence and peace.
If you want to go through your fourth trimester with that same confidence and peace, then the Planning For Postpartum Workshop is a great first step!
Inside the workshop, you’ll receive all the practical tips and valuable information needed to feel empowered going into motherhood!
If you’re due soon and don't feel like you have enough time to wait for the next workshop event, don’t worry - you can still work with me!
