Still Not Feeling Like Yourself? What Every Mum Needs to Know About Postnatal Depletion


Listen Later

Still not feeling like yourself even though your baby is months or years old? You're not imagining it. And you're not failing. In this episode, Nicky Lowe shares her own experience of burnout and exhaustion after her first child - the years it took to get answers, and the moment she finally found the language for what had happened to her. Drawing on the work of Dr. Oscar Serrallach (The Postnatal Depletion Cure), Nicky explores why postnatal depletion can last up to ten years after having a baby, why high-achieving women are so often dismissed when they say something is wrong, and what you can do, starting today, to begin rebuilding. This episode is for new mums navigating the blur of early motherhood, women further into the journey who are still waiting to feel like themselves, and anyone who manages someone returning from parental leave. You'll come away with: A clear understanding of what postnatal depletion actually is and why it's so much more than tiredness Why willpower and mindset alone won't fix this Five practical steps to start supporting your system right now Whether your baby is six weeks old or six years old - this one is for you.
