135. How To Ask For Help and Manage Postpartum Overwhelm With Heather Ratych
Welcome back to the New Mom Boss Podcast! My guest Heather Ratych has made it her mission to help new moms by guiding them through all of the emotions that come with pregnancy and postpartum at her Ontario-based perinatal and maternal mental health clinic, Bloom Psychotherapy. As a Psychotherapist, Reproductive and Perinatal Specialist, and mom, Heather is all too familiar with the messages that torment women in this stage of life, and is passionate about supporting them in feeling grounded, confident, and connected. In our conversation, we talk about overwhelm, specifically how that looks in motherhood, what contributes to it, and why it’s so difficult to simply ask for help. Some big takeaways are:Everyone experiences overwhelm - no one has life completely figured out.Know your internal dialogue and what you’re saying to yourself.Don’t treat self-care as “extra”, but as a normal part of your routine.
