    In this episode, I'm discussing holistic and natural remedies for postpartum depression and anxiety.
    It's time to dispel the notion that our health and well-being lie solely in the hands of medical professionals. Women need to be empowered to take control of their postpartum experiences and it starts with education and preparation.

    1. Distinguishing Healing from Coping
    2. Natural Remedies for Coping
    3. Importance of Body Connection
    4. Long-Term Healing Strategies
    5. Building a Support System

    I really value your feedback and experiences, so don't hesitate to share them with me on Instagram.

    Remember, you're not alone in your journey, and there are holistic approaches to support your well-being beyond traditional medical interventions.

    Take care and empower yourself on your path to healing.
