Postpartum Anxiety, OCD & ‘Mom Brain’ - What No One Tells Millennial Moms with Nicole Amoyal Pensak PhD ( author of Rattled How to Calm New Mom Anxiety with the Power of the Postpartum Brain)

If you’ve ever thought ‘What’s wrong with me?’ after becoming a mom… this episode is for you. You're definitely not alone.


In this powerful episode of EmotionAL Support, I sit down with clinical psychologist Dr. Nicole Amoyal Pensak to unpack what’s really happening in your brain after having a baby—and why so many millennial moms are silently struggling with postpartum anxiety, OCD, and depression.


We talk about the things no one prepares you for:

– Why “maternal instinct” is more myth than reality

– The truth behind intrusive thoughts and postpartum OCD

– What “mom brain” actually is (and why it needs a rebrand)

– How hormonal and neurological changes impact your mental health

– Practical tools to feel more grounded, calm, and like yourself again


Dr. Pensak also shares her own postpartum journey, making this conversation feel honest, validating, and deeply relatable for any mom navigating the emotional rollercoaster of early motherhood.


If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or questioned yourself as a mom—this episode will make you feel seen, supported, and more in control.


This is the conversation every millennial mom deserves to hear.
