Great Conversations with Nicola O'Donoghue

Lorna Lewis on Overcoming Postnatal Depression & Perfectionism


Listen Later

Becoming a mother changes everything, but for Lorna Lewis, the Founder of Funked Up Fitness, it also brought unexpected struggles with postpartum depression, identity loss, and the pressure to be the "perfect" mum.

In this candid conversation, Lorna shares how fear, anxiety, and comparison shaped her early motherhood experience until she decided to take control of her happiness.

Through self-awareness, coaching, and a commitment to personal responsibility, Lorna learned to quiet the negative stories holding her back. She opens up about the pivotal shift that came when she stopped seeking external validation and started trusting herself.

From setting boundaries and saying β€œno” to prioritising her well-being, she explains how she reclaimed her confidence, compartmentalised her mental load, and ultimately found joy in both motherhood and her own identity.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by expectations, whether as a parent or simply as a person, this episode is a must-listen.
