Connecting U: Anxiety in Moms
Season 2 of the Connecting U Podcast focuses on anxiety. Mayra and Emily dive into relatable stories and advice for those struggling with anxiety.
The journey of motherhood can begin with an overwhelming realization of responsibility for another human being. People have a lot of advice for mothers on what to do, what not to do, and how they should be as a mother. This noise can cause anxiety by listening to people who don’t have your life. Postpartum anxiety manifests as not eating, not sleeping, constant worry about your baby’s wellbeing, and so much more.
It can feel like nothing you are doing is good enough. It’s freeing to look at your life with creativity, in terms of creating a life you love with your family. Don’t miss the little moments with your kids because you are terrified that you aren’t following the correct plan. You can’t control everything, especially when your life looks different than what you expected. It’s okay to spend time on yourself as a person, not just as a mother.
Key Takeaways:
Moms can try to mask anxiety with whatever books, Facebook groups, or class told them.
You can’t live based on the “one time” that a bad thing happened to someone else’s child on the Internet.
Listen to the Holy Spirit and ask what will work for your life and your kids.
You were entrusted with this baby, so you have to trust yourself too. You are the best mama to your baby… you are the only one they have!
Your life is supposed to work for you, based on your circumstances, not based on what works for someone else’s family. Don’t be afraid to ask for what you need.
Tune in to Season 2: Anxiety of Connecting U for insightful discussions and practical advice on grounding yourself in self-awareness and surrender.
