In this solo episode, I unpack my mental health trajectory from childhood to now, and how I’ve moved through several different cycles of anxiety, depression, and postpartum journeys. I share what it was like growing up in a high-anxiety household, how anxiety became my baseline throughout college and into my working life, and how I was often rewarded for my high-performance anxiety. I talk about how a post-concussion doctor’s appointment made me understand my anxiety differently, how I began taking anxiety medication, and what my medication experience has looked like for both pregnancies. I also share my experiences with postpartum anxiety and depression, intrusive thoughts, and ADHD, how I moved through these stages of my mental health, and what my mental health looks like right now, from non-negotiables throughout my day; to what I’m currently striving for towards a healthy, happy mind and body.

Key Takeaway / Points:

• On growing up in an anxious household
• On being rewarded for high-performance anxiety
• How I moved through my anti-anxiety medication journey
• On going on Sertraline while pregnant
• On dealing with postpartum anxiety, intrusive thoughts and PTSD from my former head trauma
• On experiencing my second pregnancy and how my mental health was different
• On my decision to finally go on ADHD medication
• My non-negotiables for prioritizing my mental health
• My current challenge with tending to all my buckets

In this episode, I sit down with Elizabeth Baron, a maternal mental health psychotherapist, to discuss all things matrescence: the physical and psychological changes that come from being a mother. Elizabeth shares the history of the term, how matrescence is a long-term journey, and how overwhelming feelings of ambivalence can play a role. We talk about the “apology tour” of motherhood, the range of experiences that can come from matrescence, and why grief over leaving your pre-motherhood life is natural. She also shares why the four to six month postpartum mark is often significant for mothers, what the “Ghost in the Nursery” paper reveals about reparenting ourselves, how we can allow our children to become who they are, and more.

Key Takeaway / Points:

• On matrescence, what it means, and the history of the term
• On matrescence being a long-term journey
• On ambivalence, the constant push-pull, and the shame that comes from it
• On the “apology tour” of motherhood
• On the range of experiences that come out of matrescence
• On the unrealistic image of the perfect mother
• On the grief that comes with leaving your pre-motherhood life
