So much of motherhood is overlooked and undervalued and that's especially the case with today's topic of weaning depression. 
While this is something many moms experience, there is little scientific research into it which is exactly why we're diving into this important conversation. 
If you're a mom experiencing this challenging season or a provider supporting your clients through it, you are not alone. 


In today's episode, we're sharing: 

  • What common symptoms women experience with weaning depression and how it differs from postpartum depression. 
  • Why weaning depression occurs including hormonal changes, emotional adjustment from infancy to toddlerhood, and shifts in identity as a mother as your baby grows and changes. 
  • How to seek support and use copy strategies including self-care and local support groups to gain insight, find community, and find validation. 


The most important thing I want you to take away from this episode is that weaning depression is a very real experience for many women and if you find yourself going through it or supporting someone going through it, there are resources and support available to you.
