New Mom Naturopath: postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, newborn milestones, breastfeeding tips, extreme fatigue

On today's podcast, I got personal about how I feel about being a mom I am. I had a tough week this week.

I've been trying to get my business up and running. I'm trying to get this podcast to have more views so that I can help more women like you.

I'm also trying to manage a life where I have a two-year-old. I have a husband who works all the time, and I am also trying to get credentialed with insurance to make more income as a naturopath.

In this episode, I gave a little peek into the window of what it's like to manage 1,000,000 and 1/2 things, which most moms are dealing with daily, and postpartum is no exception.

I wanted to be clear that this is not me to give you a pity party, but this is more of a way for me to say you're not alone and I'm here to help even though your thoughts are hard and your thoughts are complex.

But know that being down or feeling crazy, you're feeling mentally unstable, is also temporary.  You won't feel like this forever and are not alone, Mama. 

Also, it’s ok to cry. Postpartum isn’t easy, but you can still love it.

Remember, your well-being matters, and we're here to support you every step of the way.

Are you worried you won’t be able to prioritize yourself this time?

I know you want to be the perfect mother. To change all the generational trauma that has run in your family for so long?

What about those moments when you feel like giving up? What if you had someone in your corner cheering you on? Are you cheering for a better future and helping you become the mom your child deserves?

I am so excited to introduce the New Mom Naturopath coaching program. A 1:1 coaching experience where I walk you through each week of the postpartum period. Giving you the mental coaching you need to thrive as a new mom?

Podcast Episode Summary: New Mom Naturopath Podcast

In this episode, we delve deep into preparing for the postpartum period. From creating a peaceful and functional environment in the home to understanding and addressing the physical and emotional changes, we cover a range of critical topics for new mothers:

Physical Preparations: We discussed the value of setting up a dedicated space, highlighting a three-tiered cart system. The cart is designed to access essentials quickly: diapers and wipes at the bottom and nutrient-rich snacks like protein balls at the top. Emphasis is also placed on hydration, with personal preferences for iced water and insulated mugs for warm coffee.

Home Environment: A well-lit, clean, and fragrant home is emphasized. Using blackout curtains in the bedroom, candles, and essential oil diffusers helps create a serene environment conducive to better parenting and rest.

Nutrition and Food: Nutrition postpartum is essential. Despite struggles with gestational diabetes, our host stresses the importance of consuming warming foods such as soups, broths, and stews. Smoothies, although not warm, are highlighted as easy and quick options. Bone broth is especially emphasized for its protein content.

Emotional Recovery: Every mother goes through an emotional journey post-birth. Reflecting on the labor experience, understanding feelings, and seeking professional help, regardless of whether one has postpartum depression or anxiety, is essential.

Physical Exercise: Before diving into any physical activity, it's imperative to get clearance from the OB-GYN. The episode highlights resources like The Belly Whisperer for C-section recovery and the SLAM exercise app for overall postpartum strength and fitness.

Postpartum Essentials: Practical tips include having loose, easy-to-nurse clothing, plenty of towels, and a wardrobe to manage excessive sweating and milk leakage. The episode also touches upon the first postpartum bowel movement, emphasizing preparation and understanding potential concerns.

Herbal and Natural Remedies: While our naturopathic physician host is cautious about prescribing specific herbs, some general suggestions are provided. These include incorporating turmeric, garlic, onions, fennel tea, peppermint, and ginger into the diet, as they offer various health benefits and can alleviate some postpartum symptoms.

Whether you're expecting or have recently given birth, this episode offers valuable insights and tips to navigate the often challenging postpartum phase.

In this episode of The New Mom Naturopath, we delve deep into the four stages of learning. As new mothers, understanding these stages can be pivotal in navigating the tumultuous waters of postpartum emotions and self-awareness.

1️⃣Unconscious Incompetence:** You are unaware of the challenges they might face postpartum. This stage is characterized by a lack of knowledge about what you don't know. It's a phase of blissful ignorance and a crucial time for seeking guidance.

2️⃣ Conscious Incompetence: As you recognize the gaps in your knowledge and skills, they become aware of their limitations. This stage can be overwhelming, but it's also an opportunity for growth and seeking help.

3️⃣ Conscious Competence: You can acquire the necessary skills to handle postpartum challenges with the right mindset coaching. It requires effort and mindfulness, but the rewards are immense.

4️⃣Unconscious Competence: You can manage their postpartum emotions and challenges with consistent practice and coaching. It becomes an ingrained part of their nature.

I also talk about the episode "How to Handle Emotions during Postpartum" and how your emotions can affect the phases of learning. By integrating the four stages of learning into our postpartum journey, you can better equip yourself to handle these emotions with grace and resilience.

I also talk about the🫸🏻Dunning-Kruger effect🫷🏻, a cognitive bias where individuals mistakenly assess their ability as more significant than it is. You Might be faced with loud opinions during postpartum, and it is essential to know when to trust information from those around you. Recognizing this can be a game-changer in seeking timely help and guidance.

New Mom Naturopath - Episode 48: The Galloway Mindset Method Reset - A Mama's Guide to Mindful Transformation

Hey there, beautiful mamas! It's Dr. Kailyn Galloway, your go-to postpartum mindset coach. In today's episode of New Mom Naturopath, I share a deeply personal journey - transforming from a stressed-out mama (shoutout to my ADHD for the wild ride!) to a centered, purpose-driven mother.

 If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the whirlwind of motherhood, trust me, you're not alone.

I remember those days vividly - the chaos, the repetitive patterns, the feeling of being lost in a sea of responsibilities. But through it all, I found a method, a beacon of hope, that helped me navigate the storm and transformed my entire approach to life and motherhood.

Introducing the Galloway Mindset Method Reset:

🌸 Witness: The first step to change is awareness. By collecting data and understanding our habit loops, we can pinpoint where things might be going awry.

🌸 Reflect: Dive deep into introspection. Ask yourself:

• What's bothering me?

🌸 Repair: Actions have consequences. If you've hurt someone, how can you mend that bond? And how can you communicate the changes you're willing to make?

🌸 Forgive: This step is all about healing. Who do you need to forgive? And sometimes, the most complicated person to forgive is ourselves.

🌸 Change: Now, armed with insights and a clear path, it's time to make those transformative changes. And remember, it's a continuous journey. Collect data, reflect, and keep iterating.

This method has been my lifeline, and I've seen it work wonders for countless other mamas. 

So, why keep such a gem a secret? Dive in with me, and let's embark on this transformative journey together.
