Ditching Parenting Advice & Relying on Community- Insights from Perinatal Therapist Stephanie Risinger

Though mental health importance is rising in our culture, there is still an idea that moms are supposed to handle ALL THE THINGS with grace and ease. We are missing the community aspect of relying on each other because there is still shame around needing help. I chat with Stephanie about all this and more, including things like -How do you know if you have "normal" anxiety or need to bring in added help (aka a therapist) -How she lets go of the "shoulds" in motherhood -Prioritizing support over all the fancy baby stuff -Her new passion for equipping/training other professionals new moms are utilizing to see the signs of mood disorders and know how to make proper referrals. Check out all she has to offer on her Website and follow her on IG to see what she is up to!! Hop over to my IG and let me know what you thought of the episode!
