74: A postpartum anxiety story many mamas share-with Doctor and twin mom Carly Crew

The Soul Mammas Podcast

Anxiety. Many of us have dealt with it in our lives at some point or another, but oftentimes it becomes more exacerbated postpartum. For me, profound worry, and insomnia consumed most of the first year of my daughters life. Postpartum anxiety is not easily diagnosed and not often spoken about, but so many mamas struggle with it.

Postpartum anxiety symptoms can include: extreme worry, irritation, anger, rage, OCD like behavior, control, insomnia, dissociative thinking, etc. It is something that many women feel shame around speaking about, or not supported with and it impacts their entire lives.

Todays guest Dr. Carly Crewe is the mother to twin 3 year old girls, a Canadian small town family doctor from Alberta Canada, an anxiety coach for moms. Carly is passionate about maternal mental health, starting in pregnancy and far beyond the postpartum period. She experienced her own struggles with severe postpartum mood disorder and now helps women all over the world through private coaching, group coaching and online courses.

Today we talk about:

• The signs and symptoms of postpartum depression
• Her experience with postpartum anxiety/mood disorder and how it floored her
• The different ways to treat postpartum anxiety
• How she offers support for moms struggling with this
• Why she's moved into entrepreneurship
• Insomnia-why this is related to anxiety
