Chara was diagnosed with Type 1 (incurable) diabetes at age fifteen. Years before and after that diagnosis, she was so committed to not being "too big"; not taking up "too much space"--being the "good girl", in religion, in her family, with her friends. Well, it caught up with her wore her down. Fast forward to just a couple of weeks ago, she listened to my meditation on this podcast, Love Your Body Again (episode 313), and she received a message from her body during that that changed her trajectory forever. Tune in to learn the POTENCY and power of meditation, and what your body may want you to know about the way you treat it.... Tune in now.

This episode goes in-depth in differentiating between Baby Blues, Postpartum Depression, and Postpartum Psychosis. Liz pulls from some of the best sources to look into this, as well as shares some of her relevant personal experiences.

The key things to pay attention to: how long are your symptoms lasting, and to what extent are your symptoms inhibiting your ability to care for your child/do normal things?

We talk about common postpartum symptoms like feeling you need to withdraw with friends and family, appetite, sleep, feelings of inadequacy, worry, energy loss, brain fog, crying and mood changes, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, sex drive etc--and where those fall on the spectrum of Baby Blues, Postpartum Depression, Postpartum Psychosis.

The Mayo Clinic article Liz refers to and looks off of in this podcast episode is: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/postpartum-depression/symptoms-causes/syc-20376617

Whether it's anger, rage, irritability, resentment, bitterness or intrusive thoughts, these all come from the same place inside of us: a part that isn't being seen or heard, whether by you and/or others. This can be conscious, or unconscious. Regardless, your body will send you rage to speak to you. In today's epsiode we'll explore what it might be saying.

How can you tell you are IN a trauma response, to any degree? I'll break it down for you (having lived it myself) in this episode.

Things we cover:

• what your functioning, thought patterns and behaviors are like when your nervous system is activated (aka in a trauma response)
• how to 'down-regulate', or come back to your baseline, both from the outside-in, as well as the inside-out (my three step process is inside the Postpartum Freedom course + program!)
• how to use the experience of being stressed and in trauma to your advantage to expand in your life
• my favorite ways to come out of being dysregulated, my process.
