When you're lost in motherhood, it’s easy to think something’s wrong with you. But what if postnatal depression isn’t just hormonal… what if it’s a signal from your soul?
In this final episode of our 3-part series, we explore how disconnection from your core values can manifest as sadness, guilt, or emotional numbness—and how reconnecting with your values can help you reclaim a sense of peace, purpose, and presence in motherhood.
I’ll share a personal story (spoiler: it involves crying babies, dog poo, and people-pleasing) and walk you through the process of identifying what truly matters to you, so you can begin parenting from a place of self-trust, rather than performance.
🎧 This episode is a reminder: You’re not broken. You might just be out of alignment.
