Miscellaneous
I am chatting today with Michelle Casarella of Mental Wellness Mamas. She is a psychologist in New York, and she helps mamas all over the world prepare not just for the birth or breastfeeding, but for establishing a healthy new life as a mom. I love what Michelle is doing, and I wish I had found her years ago when I was going through that transition. Here’s what we cover: what led Michelle on this journey why it’s so important to prepare for the postpartum time period with regards to our mental health what is matrescence, and what does it mean for every mom, not only the ones who suffer from postpartum mental illness? what expectations we should drop as we become mothers You can find Michelle at www.mentalwellnessmamas.com and you can access her Postpartum Plan here. Michelle has offered $50 off her program when you mention the podcast. I think this program is a fantastic investment in your well being as a mom and would make a perfect baby shower gift (or group gift!) for a friend or loved one.
