Ep 22: No Mom Should Feel Alone; Combatting Postpartum & more w/ Jen of Motherhood Understood

Every mom knows that the first few months of motherhood--while amazing--can also be incredibly isolating and difficult. Jen Schwartz founded a blog, The Medicated Mommy, years ago to share her own journey with postpartum depression and connect with other moms who were facing the same difficulties. That blog eventually spun off into Motherhood Understood, an online community where women not only share their own personal stories about early parenthood, but Jen also provides resources that point moms in the right direction if they need help. Moms--YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Jen and her community are here to prove that. And the explosive growth of her community has proven that moms are here to support one another no matter what. In this episode we talk: + POSTPARTUM MOOD DISORDERS + THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PPD AND POSTPARTUM ANXIETY, PSYCHOSIS AND OTHER MOOD DISORDERS + THE BEAUTY AND THE DIFFICULTY OF EARLY MOTHERHOOD + WHY MOMS THESE DAYS ARE SHARING THEIR STORIES MORE THAN EVER For more real talk on babies and motherhood, check out motherhood-understood.com, and SonniAbatta.com.
