It’s Not Just You: How Sleep, Hormones and Brain Changes Hijack Your Patience as a New Mum
from Motheroo Podcast · host MotherooHQ
This episode dives into the messy, very human reality of patience in early motherhood—what the research says, why it feels so hard, and how you can gently grow it over time. Drawing on current evidence about sleep deprivation, brain changes, emotion regulation, and self-compassion in the postpartum period, we unpack why “snapping” doesn’t make you a bad mum, it makes you a biologically overwhelmed one. You’ll hear simple, practical strategies to support your nervous system, reframe mum-guilt, and build a more patient, present relationship with your baby—even on the days you feel completely touched out and exhausted.Read the blog post:MotherooHQ.comFollow us:instagram.com/motherooHQinstagram.com/motheroopodcasttiktok.com/@motherooHQtwitter.com/motherooHQfacebook.com/motherooHQ
