101. Postpartum Support: Tips for Emotional Health & Winter Slowdown
Episode 101
Tuesday, 23 December, 2025

Lately I've been experiencing an emotional & mental dip postpartum. Maybe it's the hormones, maybe it's winter fully arriving, maybe it's just the reality of the season I'm in - but it's been hard. I've noticed more irritability, feeling overwhelmed, being quick to anger, and those quiet thoughts that whisper "you're not doing enough" or "you're a bad mom." In this short episode, I'm sharing a few simple things that are genuinely supporting my nervous system and mood right now. Nothing flashy. Nothing "fixing" me. Just small anchors that are helping me feel more grounded and resourced as a busy mom of two. ✨I'll talk about: Realistic self care What changed when I deleted Netflix Why embracing a more minimal lifestyle has helped calm my mind The importance of sisterhood and staying connected with friends Using a simple chore chart to make my home feel lighter and more manageable Creating intentional tech-free time Making a vision board for the new year as a gentle, intentional practice (and why I'm anti-new years resolutions) And how I'm learning to honor the slow down that winter invites If you're postpartum, in a tender emotional season, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the pace of life, this episode is a reminder that you're not broken and you're not alone. Take what resonates. Leave the rest. 🤍 ------------------------- Connect with me on Instagram @carolineofenstein
