Mothering Eve
Welcome to Mothering Eve, a podcast for Catholic moms, by Catholic moms - Aprylle and Ruby. We've been inspired by the Holy Spirit to be your village in a society that doesn’t support the community that moms need. We're here to talk with you about the things no one else wants to talk about, with a special focus on faith, nutrition, movement, mental health, communication, and all things motherhood.
Our goal is to help you thrive in motherhood with holiness and grace! Using our God-given talents and interests, we'll be providing you with up to date information to support you; mind, body, soul, and more every Monday.
Come join us as we build this village together.

The Postnatal Depletion Cure by Dr. Oscar Serrallach
Potential Postnatal Depletion Symptoms:
- Having a medical condition start during or after pregnancy
- Feeling like digestive issues have worsened since giving birth
- Feeling severe fatigue, or feeling exhausted on waking (which I know is hard to differentiate when you’re up around the clock with a newborn, but we’re talking extreme fatigue)
- Falling asleep unintentionally when putting kids to bed
- Sensitivity to bright light or repetitive sounds, feeling easily started
- Experiencing anxiety above your norm
- Being a “light sleeper” and being overly aware when you are asleep
- Having a poor sex drive
- Experiencing severe brain fog
- Struggling to keep up with basic self-care
- Experiencing a significant loss of self-esteem
- Having a sense of isolation
- Feeling like there is no time for you
- Feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope
- Feeling guilt or shame or failure around your role as a mom
