Hello, friends! In this episode, I invited Dr. Nikki Pensak back on the podcast to share about her new book, Rattled: How to Calm New Mom Anxiety with the Power of the Postpartum Brain. Dr. Nikki shares her expertise as a licensed clinical psychologist and mother of two, highlighting the importance of proactive postpartum care for mothers. In this conversation, we explore the challenges faced by mothers, the impact of mom guilt, strategies for coping with postpartum issues, and the significance of addressing maternal neuroplasticity.
