Gaining Mom-entum on Mental Health, Part 1: The Struggle is Real

Listen on

Episode notes

Welcome back to Gaining Mom-entum! Meghan & Abi have been wanting to have an in-depth conversation about parental mental health all season long. The stars aligned and their two part conversation is dropping during Canadian Mental Health Awareness Month! Abi & Meghan start their convo celebrating the halfway point of their first podcast season (cue balloons & confetti!). They talk about what podcasts they’re listening to and then they get right into it! What does mental health mean to them? They talk about why it is important for them to talk about mental health: from pregnancy to early parenthood to where they’re at now in their parenting journeys. Also, the stress, the anxiety, the panic of pandemic parenting. With all of this going on, their conversation naturally led them to talk about burnout. What is it? How do they recognize when they’re in a state of burnout? As always, they’re engaging in a lot of real talk about tough times but finding silver linings along the way. Thanks for listening!
