Welcome back to the New Mom Boss Podcast!
Back when I was pregnant, there was so much I did to prepare for my baby. But despite my best efforts, I was still feeling overwhelmed.
Well, they say hindsight is 20/20, and I later found out that I had overprepared for things that weren’t very important, and underprepared for the things that really mattered.
I know I’m not alone in making this mistake, which is why I’ve made it my mission to help other new moms prepare the right way to welcome their babies.
My guest Heather Ratych has also made it her mission to help new moms, by guiding them through all of the emotions that come with pregnancy and postpartum at her Ontario-based perinatal and maternal mental health clinic, Bloom Psychotherapy.
As a Psychotherapist, Reproductive and Perinatal Specialist, and mom, Heather is all too familiar with the messages that torment women in this stage of life, and is passionate about supporting them in feeling grounded, confident, and connected.
In our conversation, we talk about overwhelm, specifically how that looks in motherhood, what contributes to it, and why it’s so difficult to simply ask for help.
Some big takeaways are:
If you like this topic, then the Planning For Postpartum Workshop is a great way for you to learn more! Inside the workshop, I will help guide you through important pillars necessary to entering motherhood peacefully, while feeling empowered and confident!
