In this episode I share my conversation with Karrie Locher, postpartum nurse and mom to 3. We discuss a common (but not often discussed) symptom of postpartum depression and anxiety, RAGE. Karrie shares her experience with postpartum rage, we discuss the stigma around women expressing anger, and explore supportive coping skills. To learn more from Karrie you can find her on social media @karrie_locher or karingforpostpartum.com (where you'll also find her courses!)
If you or someone you love is struggling with postpartum rage, you can find support and resources at Postpartum Support International.   This episode was brought to you in part by the support of Storq. Storq makes daily essentials for pregnancy, nursing and parenthood that look and feel good. One thing I love about the brand is that they only photograph actual expecting and nursing mamas of different sizes, body types, heights, and stages of pregnancy and postpartum. They don’t retouch their images, so you can see how everything actually looks on real people in real life.
