07. Kate Blocker - Peak COVID Baby, PPD with ADHD, Exercise and Journaling for Postpartum Mental Health, Confidently Returning to Remote Work, and PP Schedules
Om avsnittet
In todays episode I have Kate Blocker on the podcast. She’s mama to an almost 3 year old boy named Miles and a nutrition product co-worker of mine at BODi. Her story and the conversation we have is overflowing with tiny new-mom 'wisdoms' that I know you’re going to love. We talk about everything from planning for postpartum through a focus on fitness and nutrition during pregnancy and what it’s like as a pregnant person and new mom with ADHD coming off medication, to the universal inner 'mean girl' we all have and keeping your therapist throughout your pregnancy and postpartum (and SO much more)!
Some of the great topics we cover:
- Pregnancy brain with ADHD
- Coming off medication during pregnancy & staying off
- Eating healthy and exercising for birth and PP health
- Delivering in hospital during peak COVID
- Pressure to breastfeed
- Baby that cannot be put down
- No sleep first two weeks PP
- Accepting help
- Keeping your therapist
- Not knowing who you are after baby
- Journaling / voice memos / exercise for mental health
- Finding in person (or virtual) 'Mommy & Me' groups
- Finding other free support groups and resources
- Feeling like you need to prove your worth at work
- Pressure to be over-productive
- Creating a postpartum schedule for next time
