It has to be said though. It's getting out of hand! Moms who are in thralls of postpartum and the chaos of overwhelm are scrolling searching for real advice… social media has been such a valuable way for more experts to reach more people, but there are a lot of others misusing it and looking to sell *garbage* In this episode of the Bloom After Baby podcast, Jen delves into the misconceptions surrounding nervous system regulation and its correlation with stress and anxiety. She addresses the misleading information prevalent in the wellness industry and emphasizes the importance of understanding the root causes of stress rather than relying on quick fixes. Join Jen as she navigates through the complexities of nervous system dysregulation and offers insights on holistic approaches to managing stress and anxiety.
