287: Solo: How I Work Towards a Healthy and Happy Mind and Body

In this solo episode, I unpack my mental health trajectory from childhood to now, and how I’ve moved through several different cycles of anxiety, depression, and postpartum journeys. I share what it was like growing up in a high-anxiety household, how anxiety became my baseline throughout college and into my working life, and how I was often rewarded for my high-performance anxiety. I talk about how a post-concussion doctor’s appointment made me understand my anxiety differently, how I began taking anxiety medication, and what my medication experience has looked like for both pregnancies. I also share my experiences with postpartum anxiety and depression, intrusive thoughts, and ADHD, how I moved through these stages of my mental health, and what my mental health looks like right now, from non-negotiables throughout my day; to what I’m currently striving for towards a healthy, happy mind and body.Key Takeaway / Points:On growing up in an anxious householdOn being rewarded for high-performance anxietyHow I moved through my anti-anxiety medication journeyOn going on Sertraline while pregnantOn dealing with postpartum anxiety, intrusive thoughts and PTSD from my former head traumaOn experiencing my second pregnancy and how my mental health was differentOn my decision to finally go on ADHD medicationMy non-negotiables for prioritizing my mental healthMy current challenge with tending to all my buckets Listen to my conversation about maternal mental health and ADHD with Dr. Sarah Oreck hereThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
