Mummy Mental Health | Understanding the Patterns and Finding the Solution

The Irish Mummy Podcast | Work Life Balance

We start this episode by talking about the different feelings and emotions that really impact mums. Every mum experiences frustration or overwhelm due to the nature of motherhood and the responsibilities that come with it. Sometimes you forget to communicate with your spouse about your own needs, which in the end can be hindering your mental health like if you’re not getting enough sleep. You can hear Elijah in the background of this episode, which just demonstrates the juggle that mothers have to deal with every day as they’re doing everyday things.

“How does your mental health feel at this moment?” “Dreadful. I can’t focus, I’m worried and feeling guilty about not being able to do the task that I’m doing, but I’m feeling guilty about the fact that little Elijah is unsettled. It’s a really overwhelming feeling and it’s such a microcosm of a circumstance of what mums go through every single day.” 16:37
