Postpartum, Mental Health and Why it Matters as a Mom
37m · PublishedHey Mamas, thanks for tuning in to a brand new episode of the Zen(ish) Mommy Podcast! This is a space where you can show up authentically, have a laugh, educate yourself, and hear a little bit of yourself in each of the guests. Today, we have fellow podcast host and mental health advocate Christie Rocha joining us in conversation. Christie kicks off our discussion by sharing snippets of her own mental health journey, which she later realized has many parallels to the experience other women have navigating the world of motherhood and marriage. Next, you’ll hear about what she has gained through building a relationship with her therapist who provides a container for her to say things she can’t share with anyone else. We touch on taking a seasonal approach to life before Christie shares why it is so important for others to realize the power of asking for help, encouraging listeners to shed their preconceptions in order to benefit from therapy.

- How sharing information with your therapist differs from sharing it with your loved ones.
- The introspection that happens when Christie relays information to her therapist.

- How therapy has helped her to set boundaries to no longer be available to everyone all the time.
- Approaching our lives as seasons.
- Managing her PMDD by allowing the ebb and flow of her life.
- Why she believes healing is a lifelong journey.
- The biggest thing she wants listeners to know: asking for help is okay!

“I believe that therapy can be for everyone. If you’re truly opposed to it, then it’s probably not going to work for you, and therefore, not an avenue you can explore. But I believe that everyone has something they can work on.” — [0:14:03]
“I think we can heal from things, but in general there will always be something going on.” — [0:32:03]
