ABOUT THIS EPISODE Moms don’t just wake up one day and become self-sacrificing, over-extended, burned out women. We were raised to be that way over decades through mental conditioning that taught us that serving others—even at the expense of our health and happiness—was “good.” We were sold a lie that sacrificing ourselves in service of others is the best way we could spend our lives. This Good Gi...

ABOUT THIS EPISODE Postpartum can be an overwhelming time. It’s a transition that involves keeping another human being alive while also recovering mentally, emotionally, and physically yourself. It’s a big deal and yet, because it’s a “natural” part of life, people act like moms are just supposed to figure it out with barely any support or guidance.  Today, there are a lot more resources for moms...
