In this episode, Dr Ros Drake @drake_chiropractic joins me to help us get a better understanding around why working mothers are so FRAZZLED so that we can protect ourselves from burning out physically and mentally.

Today’s episode covers:

1. Motherhood depletion
2. Matrescence (baby aged 0-7)
3. How we change after having a baby & postnatal depression
4. The physical, emotional and chemical triangle
5. How self-care builds a buffer to manage stress and our nervous system
6. Doing one of your 5 quick and easy self-care practices a day
7. How happiness hormones combats the stress hormone, cortisol
8. Self-care is a need to have not a nice to have
9. Why we don’t need to feel “mom guilt” when we invest time into our health
10. Why we need to be kind and compassionate to ourselves
