Episode Synopsis

In this 15 Minute Friday, I sit down once more with Dr. Hanisha Patel and this time she's sharing thoughts and advice on how to balance mental health as a new parent. We cover; The importance of addressing mental health and supporting new parents' mental well-being postpartum, the disparity between expectations of parenthood and the reality of postpartum experiences, the importance of support from healthcare professionals, partners, and loved ones during the postpartum period, and she also shares strategies for self-care and maintaining mental health as a new parent, including setting boundaries, practicing the "Joy exercise," and seeking professional support when needed. Lots of good stuff in this one! FOLLOW Hanisha @holistichanisha FOLLOW me @rosstheisen FOLLOW the show @wydhpod
