The Truth About Postnatal Burnout - Ep 12

Motherhood can be the thing you’ve always wanted and still completely knock the wind out of you. In this honest chat, we’re joined by mindset coach and author Becky Raven, who opens up about the version of postpartum no one prepares you for: the anxiety, identity shifts, pressure to keep working, and the guilt that hits when you’re not coping the way you thought you would.From manifesting the life she dreamed of to finding herself crying on the kitchen floor with two babies, Becky shares how burnout, sleep deprivation, social media pressure and nervous system overload can quietly unravel even the mums who “should” have it together. We talk about mat leave guilt, going back to work, why positive thinking is not enough in the trenches, and the realistic tools that can actually help when your body feels stuck in survival mode. This one feels like a deep exhale for any mum who is running on empty.Hot Topics:🤍 The confidence crash after baby: why motherhood can shake even the most self-aware women😴 Sleep deprivation and survival mode: how broken nights fuel burnout, anxiety and low mood💼 Going back to work guilt: the pressure self-employed mums feel when there is no real mat leave📱 Social media and mum comparison: why everyone else looks like they are coping better🌬️ Breathwork for burnt out mums: simple ways to regulate when meditation feels impossible🧠 The motherhood blueprint: how your own childhood shapes the way you mother✨ Feeling good, not perfect: letting go of impossible standards in the trenches✨ Got something to say?
