Today's episode is to discuss Postpartum Anxiety, Depression, Intrusive Thoughts, Health Anxiety, Weight Loss, Hair loss and MORE. Let's be honest Postpartum is HARD. Today's episode is to shed some light on the struggles of postpartum. It is such a difficult journey postpartum when you just gave birth to your beautiful baby, and I don't want you going through postpartum alone. I discuss what I went through postpartum and what helped me get through that time. Discuss some resources to help you get information and help through that phase. Plus words of encouragement to get through the postpartum period.
