When Postpartum Depression Feels Like You’re Not Yourself Anymore | Katherine Connors
When postpartum depression hits, it doesn’t always look the way people expect. It can feel like you’re still there… and at the same time, like you’re slipping away inside—and no one around you can fully see it. In this episode, Katherine Connors shares her experience of postpartum depression while remaining deeply connected to her role as a mother. There’s a kind of loneliness and disorientation that’s hard to name—and even harder to explain. When she found Polarity Therapy, something began to shift. What started as personal support became a path she now walks with others. This conversation stays close to the lived experience—what it feels like, what begins to open, and how a different relationship with the body can gently bring you back. Topics In This Episode: -Postpartum depression and healing -Energy healing modalities including polarity therapy -Working with horses and animals for emotional and physical healing _____ Disclaimer: The views and opinions shared in this episode are solely those of the Guest and do not necessarily represent the views, beliefs, or positions of the Awakening Soul Divinity Podcast.

Hi, I’m Katherine Connors—a certified Advanced Polarity Practitioner, Hermetic Counselor, and ordained minister in Florida. My approach blends holistic counseling, intuitive physical bodywork, and energy healing grounded in the five elements: earth, water, fire, air, and ether. I was led to this work through my own healing journey—navigating postpartum depression and emotional disconnection. I came to understand how deeply the body stores past experiences—grief, trauma, stress—and how powerfully it can heal when given the space and support. Polarity therapy is rooted in the anatomy of energy. Each session is a full-body process that combines dialogue, guided meditation, and somatic techniques to identify where your system is off balance. I use hands-on practices—including cranial sacral-inspired touch and homeopathic suggestions—to help release what no longer serves you. Whether you’re seeking forgiveness, clarity, or reconnection, I meet you where you are. I also offer sessions for animals, who respond beautifully to this work. Sessions are available virtually, in nature, at home, or at Spark of Divine in Vero Beach.

When Postpartum Illness Became Her Awakening with Lara J. Day
Have you ever faced a health crisis that forced you to slow down, listen deeper, and see your life through a completely different lens? In this revealing episode, Lara J. Day shares how a joyful and empowering homebirth was followed months later by an unexpected postpartum illness—one that became a doorway rather than a downfall.
