In this week's episode of 'Holding Space for Her,' I dive into a deeply personal and vulnerable topic - accepting my postpartum body.

Building on the positive feedback from our episode on holding space for mothers with neurodivergent children, I felt inspired to share my journey. I break down my experiences into three phases: denial, a breaking point, and a breakthrough moment. Through sharing my struggles with imposter syndrome, body image issues post-pregnancy, and my eventual path to acceptance, I hope to offer insights and support to other mothers facing similar challenges.

I reveal the importance of understanding hormonal imbalances, the impact of sleep deprivation, and the natural biological changes that come with motherhood. Additionally, I share practical tools like meditation, journaling, and scientific research that helped me shift my mindset.

Join me as I openly discuss my transition from self-criticism to finding a newfound respect and acceptance for my body, all while encouraging you to embrace your own journey with love and patience.

In this week's episode of 'Holding Space for Her,' Jess returns to discuss the challenges and triumphs of parenting as a neurodivergent mother. We dive into the overwhelming feedback from our previous conversation on mothers of neurodivergent children and segue into today's topic—supporting parents who themselves are neurodivergent or struggle with mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression. Jess and I share our personal experiences, the daily hurdles we face, and the coping strategies we've developed, from maintaining structure to practicing self-compassion. Our conversation reveals that while motherhood is challenging, especially with these added layers, it is crucial to seek help, share your struggles, and understand that you are not alone. This episode serves as a reminder of your unstoppable power and continuous evolution as a mother.
