116: Things We Don’t Talk About with Parent Mental Health with Amanda Gorman

116: Things We Don’t Talk About with Parent Mental Health with Amanda Gorman

When it comes to parenting and especially motherhood, there are so many things that we hide or gloss over, dirty little secrets that shame and fear and judgment tell us to keep to ourselves. Sometimes it's the small stuff (like how each of my kids have had YEARS long stretches of sleeping in their clothes the next day to avoid the morning getting dressed battles) and then sometimes it's the big stuff. On this week's episode my guest and I dive into one of the most hidden and shame-laden topics there is in parenthood: Rage. Specifically postpartum rage.


Grab a cup of tea and settle in as I share my own story of the rage I experienced as a part of a perinatal mood disorder after the birth of my second child, and witness my guest's story too. As we share our stories we also discuss how we got support and moved forward, and the ongoing work we're doing. If you've experienced that rush of overwhelming emotions, seeing red, irrational, explosive reactivity, then you know how hard it can be to get support and to manage and I hope this episode is a balm to your soul. And if you haven't, you'll likely still benefit from the experience of witnessing another's story. There will be pieces that resonate for everyone.
