    Postnatal Depletion with Kate Harrison Little Yarrow

    50% of mothers suffer with chronic exhaustion
    85% of mothers report feeling unsupported
    90% of mothers report feeling lonely and isolated
    As a society we’ve never been busier or needed to be more ‘on’ but we are living in western culture in a village-less society.
    In this episode your hosts Emma Gray and Kaitlyn Bywater chat to Kate Harrison from Little Yarrow about what is postnatal depletion, how do we know what we are feeling is a normal part of motherhood or something that should be looked into, what are the common nutrient deficiencies correlating to mood disorders and much more.

    What is matrescence?

    Join us this week for a new snack episode and a really important topic we think should be on the agenda for every antenatal appointment; matrescence. 

    We talk about what matrescence is, what it looks like for women and how we have experienced and navigated the transition to motherhood.
