We Gotta Talk: News, Issues, and Beauty for Women

104: WE GOTTA TALK... MOM RAGE, Maternal Mental Health and Why Good Parenting is an Inside Job, with Dr. Gertrude Lyons


Listen Later

This week’s theme is maternal mental health, and we are bringing the realness on the podcast and blog.

This week’s guest is Dr. Gertrude Lyons, a doctor of education, coach and Director of Family Programs at The Wright Foundation.

In this episode we cover:

  • Mom rage
  • How to connect with our kids at every age
  • How our mothers impact the way we parent
  • Tactics to take us out of “reaction mode”
  • How to have conversations with your kids to really know what they’re thinking
  • Dealing with postpartum anxiety
  • Healing ourselves first to be better mothers

  • I also share my experience with postpartum anxiety and the intervention my sister had with me to help get me back on track.

    For more real talk on maternal mental health, check out the blog this week, including a 5 Questions roundup with pediatric occupational therapist and mom coach, Dr. Jennifer Blossom.
