Postpartum meets Career Focused High Achiever: The BEST episode on this podcast
from Dopamine Diaries · host Coach Kate
I don't think I've ever been ready to talk about this. And I think the reason is I hadn't done the work yet myself.I'm talking about my software (that's what I call the nervous system) and why postpartum was harder than it ever needed to be for me. I get into fight or flight and shutdown, the two states my system defaults to, and why sitting on the floor showing my daughter high contrast images felt like a threat when logically there was none.I talk about what it looks like to shift from reactive to proactive with your nervous system, and why the state of your software directly impacts the software of your kids.In this one:Why postpartum jarred my system in a way I didn't have words for at the timeWhat it means for your nervous system to have a tempo it thinks it needs to surviveWhy modeling dysregulation to your children matters more than you thinkIf you've ever felt like something is wrong but you can't find the words for the discomfort, this one's for you.Want a full list of mental buffers I call The Transitions Toolkit?
