Episode 170 Navigating Postpartum Support and Advice

Do look to everyone else to help you determine the best things to do for your baby? Are you constantly asking FB groups, your friends, or relatives who are already parents about how they did things? Family and peer support is so helpful, AND we sometimes give our power away when we forget to check in with ourselves. Rachel Sievers, a retired mental health professional and life coach helps us figure out both how to look internally and how to help others do the same. On this episode you will hear: How to gauge whether or not advice you are being given aligns with your own values How to decline unwanted advice When to seek professional help and advice To Get in Touch with Rachel: Link to Answer To Everything Podcast: To see demonstrations of some of the topics discussed on the show, connect with Rachel on her Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/rachel.m.sievers/ Tik Tok - https://www.tiktok.com/@RachelSieversMS Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/RachelSieversMS Ready to feel prepared for birth AND the postpartum period?
