In this deeply personal and unscripted episode of Full and Thriving, I’m opening up about my experiences during maternity leave and reflecting on the highs and lows of becoming a new mom. From the joy of welcoming my son, Jack, to navigating the challenges of postpartum recovery, I’m sharing my honest journey with all of you. I’ll take you through my birth story, the unexpected emotional rollercoaster I faced, and how my eating disorder recovery played a crucial role in my ability to embrace motherhood fully.

I’m also talking about the lessons I’ve learned, from setting boundaries and managing intrusive thoughts to recognizing the impact of anxiety on parenting. This episode is raw, real, and filled with insights I hope will inspire and support anyone on their recovery journey or navigating big life transitions.

What to expect:

• How my eating disorder recovery allowed me to experience the joys of motherhood.
• Why setting boundaries for myself and my family has been so important during this new chapter.
• How I’ve learned to navigate intrusive thoughts and postpartum anxiety with mindfulness and compassion.
• The role of societal pressures and personal expectations in parenting and how I’m letting go of comparison.
• How I’ve balanced the joy of motherhood with the challenges of unexpected life events.
• A reminder that recovery is vital for achieving your long-term dreams, like starting a family.
