Finding Peace in Postpartum with Lauren Tager
Navigating the challenges of new motherhood in isolation, Lauren faced a whirlwind of emotions and physical changes.
The constant stress not only played havoc on her mental well-being but took a physical toll too, manifesting in adrenal fatigue, hormonal imbalances, and weight challenges. This period exposed the fragility of her nervous system and underscored that stress isn’t merely a mental construct; it leaves tangible impacts on our body.
However, it was motherhood's unforgiving lens that shed light on Lauren's shaky foundations. She came to a transformative realization: motherhood either drowns you or pushes you to reconstruct your life. The big "a-ha" moment came when she realized that motherhood is like a spotlight, exposing the shaky foundations in our lives.
It gave her a choice - to sink or to create a whole new way of being. How did this realization reshape her? For Lauren, reverting to her old self – the hyper-independent, perfectionist achiever – was no longer an option. Her body rebelled, insomnia kicked in, demanding rest and rejuvenation. There was no room for her old ways anymore.
But Lauren didn't just survive; she thrived. She harnessed her life lesson to create a thriving business called "Peace in Postpartum." She created her new program - "Manifesting Mama" - emphasizing that peace in postpartum is about more than just survival; it's about creating the motherhood experience of your dreams.
Together, strong women like Lauren and our listeners create a space where tough topics are addressed, offering solace to many who often feel isolated. Tune into this episode to dive deep into Lauren's transformative journey, and let it inspire you to confront your own challenges, embrace transformation, and make choices that empower YOUR journey.🌟🎙️❤️
