063 // Empowering Mothers: A Conversation on Postpartum Mental Health with Michelle Solger Part 2
Work at Home Mom Life, Freelancing, Virtual Assistant, Online Business Manager, Guilt-Free Motherhood
06/22/23 • 26 min
In Part 2 of my conversation with Michelle Solger, we discuss the importance of preparation and knowledge for expectant moms in relation to pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Michelle highlights the lack of information and support provided to new parents, focusing on the physical and emotional changes that occur during postpartum. She mentions the surprise and unpreparedness many mothers experience regarding various aspects of postpartum. Michelle emphasizes the need for education, self-care, and acceptance of help from others during this transformative period.
Michelle stresses the significance of knowledge and preparation for the postpartum period. She encourages expectant parents to educate themselves about the physical and emotional changes that occur after childbirth, as well as the challenges they may face. She highlights common surprises for new mothers, including breastfeeding difficulties, loneliness, sleep deprivation, hair loss, body odor, and pelvic floor issues. Michelle advocates for improved postpartum care, including better education, support systems, and insurance coverage.
Michelle is a postpartum educator, mental wellness advocate, and mom of 2. She is currently working on her certification as a mental wellness coach. After having kids, she realized the absence of honest motherhood on social media and the lack of education about what your body is going through postpartum, and she wanted to change that! Her passion is to teach mamas what is happening in their bodies postpartum and show all the real, raw parts of being a mom.

Work at Home Mom Life, Freelancing, Virtual Assistant, Online Business Manager, Guilt-Free Motherhood
11/28/23 • 52 min
Postpartum depression is a term many of us have heard, but not all truly understand. That’s why I invited Michelle Solger to come back on the podcast to talk some more about PPD.
Michelle is a wife, mom of 2, and certified mental wellness. She has a passion for educating moms about what happens postpartum and helping navigate that difficult season of transition.
Michelle shared her story with postpartum depression after her second child's birth, explaining that the condition can manifest differently for everyone.
Postpartum depression can appear in various forms from excessive crying, feelings of indifference, to unexpected rage. These symptoms, when combined with interrupted sleep cycles common in early motherhood, can lead to an overwhelming feeling of loss of self in postpartum women.
Postpartum depression is a reality that many mothers face alone. Being mindful of the existence of such conditions and eliminating the stigma associated with seeking help is essential. By opening up these conversations, we can establish a supportive environment for moms, providing the understanding and tools they need to navigate motherhood more confidently.
