57 | Exploring isolation in motherhood – With Gemma Smith

RELEASED NOV 13, 2023

 

In this episode I explore the many ways new and expectant parents might feel isolated in the perinatal period. This includes discussion around isolation: 

  • Physically/ geographically
  • From experiences/ hobbies
  • Within relationships
  • Regarding purpose

I also share several top mental health and connectivity tips/ things to try when feeling isolated during this time.
