Postpartum Reality Check: Beyond the Baby Blues & Motherhood Truths
Description
Today on The Mom Existence, we're joined by the incredibly compassionate and knowledgeable Lauren Mackintosh—a fierce advocate for maternal mental health and a guiding light for women navigating pregnancy and postpartum.
Lauren helps us unpack what so many moms experience but don’t always talk about like delayed postpartum depression and how it differs from the early baby blues. We dive into the emotional rollercoaster that can come with everyday struggles, mom guilt, and when things just don’t go according to plan.
She’s made it her mission to support women through the messy, beautiful, overwhelming ride of motherhood—and today, she’s breaking down the truth behind anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and the “prepare for the worst” mindset so many of us quietly carry.
Because as Lauren reminds us—two things can be true. You can be so in love with your baby and feel completely lost. You can be grateful and grieving the version of motherhood you imagined. This conversation is honest, validating, and needed.
Let’s get into it. And remember, you’re doing amazing <3
