The Myth of the Perfect Mother with Dr. Sarah Oreck
Update: 2025-04-15
Description
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Sarah Oreck—reproductive psychiatrist, postpartum expert, and mom of three—to talk about what really happens to your brain, body, and mental health after giving birth. From the massive hormonal crash no one warns you about to the very real experience of postpartum rage, Dr. Oreck breaks it all down with empathy, expertise, and zero judgment.
We cover:
- The difference between baby blues and postpartum depression
- Why the “bounce back” culture is setting moms up to fail
- The importance of asking for help—early and often
If you’ve ever felt like motherhood is an absolute cluster, this episode is your reminder that you’re not alone—and you’re definitely not doing it wrong.
