Postpartum: The Truth No One Warned Me About with Amy Beckler, Doula & LCSW

Postpartum is harder than anyone tells you, and the silence around it is part of the problem. In this episode we sit down with Licensed Clinical Social Worker Amy Beckler, to talk about the postpartum mental health truths that most new moms only learn the hard way.We get into the stuff that doesn't make it into the "what to expect" books:-postpartum rage -intrusive thoughts -phantom cries -identity shifts and why so many women struggle?... the silence is a big part. So this episode intends to normalize conversations between women, friends, and family about real experiences surrounding postpartum and motherhood. Amy brings her clinical lens and real experiences, and I bring the questions every mom (and pregnant mama) is too tired or too scared to ask.If you're pregnant, postpartum, or somewhere in the fog of the fourth trimester, this is the conversation I wish someone had handed me especially so I would have known I was not alone.💌 STAY CONNECTED:Subscribe so you don't miss next week's episode 🌹Instagram: @yournursemidwife @smelltherosespodcastTikTok: @smelltherosespodcastApple Podcasts & Spotify: https://linktr.ee/Smelltherosespodcast⚠️ A note: This episode discusses postpartum mental health, including anxiety and depression.
