Balancing 'bounce back' goals and self‑compassion

The moment you become a mother, a version of you emerges that you’ve never met before, and she’s more powerful, more sensitive, and more focused than anyone you’ve ever been. Today, I’m with Bryony Deery for the second time to explore what really happens to a woman’s identity, priorities, and emotional range after birth, including the surprising neuroscience behind why mothers seem to “just know” what their baby needs before anyone else does. Bryony also gets brutally honest about the bounce-back pressure, the intrusive thoughts no one talks about, and why giving yourself grace isn’t weakness, it’s biology.
