It’s year three of the Covid pandemic, and many of us are at our breaking points. For those of us who have immunocompromised children or have journeyed through the NICU during this time, the pandemic has brought an additional set of challenges and it has taken a major toll on our collective mental health. But NICU mama, you are not alone.
This week’s episode is a conversation with the one and only Natalie Reiter with Prairieland Counseling all about mental health, pandemic fatigue, and how we can continue to navigate it all with self-compassion.
In this episode we cover:
NICU mama, we hope this episode affirms that if you find yourself struggling, you are not making this up. This is hard because this is really really hard. Know that sisterhood is with you, believes in you, and is so very proud of you. You can do this. We will do this together.
