Kat Badry shares her experience with postpartum depression—specifically, how it can show up late in postpartum and what it’s like to navigate the journey of healing while balancing life as a new mom. Our guest, Kat, shares her raw and honest story of experiencing postpartum depression at 10–11 months postpartum, the signs she noticed, and how she found herself feeling isolated and dissociated.
Kat’s healing journey is rooted in outdoor adventures. From hiking with her son at seven weeks postpartum to discovering the grounding power of rock climbing, she explains how nature and movement became her therapy. We also discuss the importance of prioritizing mental health, and finding community as a mom.
If you’ve ever struggled with postpartum depression or felt disconnected from your adventurous self after having kids, listen in.
