But when I was in the grips of my postpartum breakdown, I tried it because I was desperate; I had nothing to lose. Very quickly meditation played a huge part in my recovery from postpartum anxiety, and my thriving in motherhood. Over 7 years later, I still meditate every day. Meditation makes motherhood easier! I want you to reap the benefits of meditation too. So, in this episode of The Tough Mothers Podcast and Tough Mothers TV I have a deep a conversation with my meditation teacher, Tom Cronin, to explain how meditation works, the science of meditation, the importance of meditation in everyday life, and how meditation can change your experience of motherhood and help you thrive. Meditating is the best thing you can do for yourself and your kids. Because when mothers thrive, their children thrive, the world thrives.
