Ep. 29: Burnout & Birth Trauma: Doubling Down On Overwhelm

Shelley Kemmerer, PA-C joins me to talk about the massive overlap between burnout and trauma. So many parents are dealing with burnout and when we add trauma and trauma recovery to that mix, it seems to just be adding kerosine to the fire, not to mention 3 years of a pandemic, increasing financial stress, lack of parental leave, and constantly worrying if your kid will return home from school. Join us to talk about the intersection of burnout and birth trauma and how we can cope. You can find Shelley on Instagram at @runtellmomGuest Bio:Shelley Kemmerer PA-C, MCHS.
