In this episode, I talk about my own motherhood journey and how I felt new, awkward, and totally uncomfortable in my postpartum body. I’ll give my advice personally and professionally for what works in getting through this tough transition with your postpartum body and tell you a few things to make sure you DON’T do. You’ll be able to be more patient with yourself and less critical, more mindful and less judgmental of your body, and overall feel better about where you’re at and where you’re going.

If you’re anything like me or many of the people I work with, you’ve likely found yourself stuck in a never-ending cycle of overanalyzing or ruminating over every little detail—past, present, or future. You think and think, hoping to find the right answer, the perfect solution, or some sense of certainty, but instead, you just end up feeling more overwhelmed and anxious. Have you ever felt like overthinking fuels your anxiety? I bet you have!
Today, we’re going to talk about these thought patterns, known as mental compulsions. This includes things like overanalyzing, excessive worrying, ruminating, and trying to figure out every scenario in your head. I’ll explain why these behaviors keep you trapped in a spiral and, most importantly, how you can start breaking free.
Here's a little preview of what we'll cover:
- What mental compulsions are
- Why do they keep you stuck (in a place where your overthinking fuels your anxiety)?
- 2 techniques that can actually help
