Our brains change drastically during pregnancy, postpartum, and while breastfeeding.Pregnancy brain..... Mom brain..... Baby brain…..In this episode, Julia and I discuss the many changes that our brain goes through during these transitions, and challenge you to view it in a different manner. Mom brain has been referred to with disdain and frustration because of the challenges it presents. Let’s shift the narrative, and instead focus on the entire picture of "Mom brain". What it is, why we have it, and how important it can be overall. We invite you to further this conversation with us in The Postpartum Circle Facebook group. We'll see you there. You can find & follow Julia Jones here:WebsiteFacebookNewborn Mothers PodcastFor full show notes go to...https://postpartumu.com/your-brain-in-postpartum-with-julia-jones-ep42/In this episode, we are sharing:Introducing JuliaThe biological brain changes that occur during these transitionsPhysical shrinkage of the brainPositive aspects of these changesResearch in this areaChanges within our brains with a multitude of children vs. one?Are the changes permanent?Living in a patriarchal worldEmpathy and CompassionHeightening of SensesJulia’s book “Newborn Mothers” (this can be found on her website shared above)Our brain changes & postpartum depression/anxietyThe drastic changes in society in the last 100 yearsThe opportunity to change your brainIntuition vs. instinctBiological Changes and Environmental ChangesHow to encourage some of these changes when fostering or adopting a childLinks to find Julia Jones are listed above!Come join us in the Facebook group The Postpartum Circle!Courses, tools, & resources for healing in Mamas & Providers -Postpartum Repletion(Nutrition) Plan*BRAND NEW - 12 weeks to whole-body transformation* -Reclaiming Postpartum Wellness Course + Membership Are your symptoms being caused by postpartum depletion, or something else? -Take The Postpartum Assessment HERE!Postpartum University® Training for Professionals:-Holistic Postpartum Nutrition Training-Postpartum Nutrition Certification(JOIN THE WAITLIST)- If you are in need of support, or have questions you can send an email to admin@postpartumu.com   OR  you can reach out  in The Postpartum Circle Facebook group.Where to find me: postpartumu.comFacebookInstagramPinterest
