Motherhood & The Brain
Anxious About Going Back To Work After Maternity Leave?
Today I'm bringing back one of the most downloaded episodes of the podcast [this one really struck a chord]. Whether you're just heading back to work or you're still wrestling with mixed emotions long after maternity leave ended, this episode is for you. We’re talking about the anxiety, the guilt, the fear of being forgotten and why you’re not alone. So if your heart feels heavy about leaving your baby and diving back into the working world, this one will speak right to it.
Today, Esther dives into the deep waters of motherhood and career in a way that really hits home. She talks about that tug-of-war many moms feel between returning to work and staying with their baby. Esther brings up societal pressures and the internal battles we face when balancing work and maternal instincts.
Then, she introduces this fascinating concept of the "protective brain." You know, how a mom's brain is wired to shield her child, and how going back to work can feel like a threat to that instinct. It's eye-opening stuff, really delving into the emotional side of things.
Esther doesn't stop there; she gets into the nitty-gritty of practical challenges like pumping and storing breast milk. But what's refreshing is how she acknowledges these concerns with compassion and offers strategies to tackle them head-on.
And let me tell you, her tips for negotiating with your own brain? Genius. She encourages moms to embrace their autonomy in choosing to return to work and offers empowering ways to navigate that transition.
Throughout the episode, Esther emphasizes the importance of reframing our perspective, tapping into our wisdom, and giving ourselves permission to feel those tough emotions like guilt. It's all about finding balance, you know?
By the end, you'll walk away feeling empowered, armed with practical solutions, and ready to face the challenges of motherhood and work with grace and self-compassion. So, grab your headphones and join us on this journey of self-discovery and empowerment!
If you’ve tried to stop yelling... but nothing sticks when you're overwhelmed; this is what you’ve been missing.
You don’t need more tips or hacks,
You need a way to interrupt the spiral before it takes over.
This Isn't for Moms Who’ve Never Yelled.👇🏿👇🏿
