Hey friends, it’s Chelsea, and today on Better Relationships After Baby, we’re diving into a topic that hits hard this time of year: Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). If you're already balancing new motherhood with the emotional rollercoaster of postpartum, adding winter's shorter days and colder weather can feel overwhelming. I get it—I've been there too.

In this episode, we’re exploring how to be proactive in managing mental health as we head into the colder months. We’ll talk about creating small, sustainable habits that help combat the effects of SAD, while also acknowledging the unique challenges new parents face. From getting outside for some natural light (yes, even when it’s freezing!) to mindful self-care practices, I’m sharing actionable tips to keep you feeling grounded and supported.

I’ll also touch on the importance of communication with your partner when it comes to winter precautions for your baby. It’s all about finding that balance between protecting your little one from germs and making sure you still get the fresh air and connection you need to avoid the winter blues.

So, if you’ve been feeling a bit nervous about the winter months ahead, grab your cozy blanket, tune in, and let’s talk about building healthy habits, supporting mental well-being, and keeping joy alive during this season!
