Episode 5 Pt 1 Blooming Again: A Mothers Journey From The Depths of Mum Guilt & Postpartum Mental Illness to Reclaiming Joy (PART 1)

In this deeply personal episode, we explore the emotional rollercoaster of motherhood through the lens of 'mum guilt'. Our beautiful guest, Emily, shares her journey from the pressure of expectations, motherhood myths and lived experience to the challenges of silent struggles, postpartum mental illness, and ultimately, her realisation that seeking support was essential for her and her family.

Highlights:

• Shifting expectations: How societal pressures and personal aspirations can paint an unrealistic picture of motherhood, leading to mom guilt.
• The invisible juggling act: From career ambitions to emotional needs, navigating the demands of motherhood and self-care.
• The silent struggles: Breaking the stigma surrounding mental health in motherhood and the importance of recognizing the need for support.
• The power of vulnerability: Opening up about personal challenges and seeking help as a sign of strength and resilience.
• Navigating the therapy journey: Exploring the process of finding the right therapist, the challenges and breakthroughs of professional support, and the ongoing journey of self-discovery.
