Episode 13: Back to Work But Not Okay: The Hidden Struggles of Postpartum Mental Health

In this episode of Overcaffeinated and Out of Effs I'm joined by Stephanie Straub, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Private Practice Owner in Syracuse, New York who specializes in reproductive and maternal mental health, supporting women and families throughout their perinatal journey.

Stephanie shares valuable insights about the emotional and mental toll of returning to work postpartum, unrealistic expectations placed on working moms and how to recognize the signs of Postpartum Depression and Postpartum Anxiety that often go unnoticed. She talks about what they really need when reentering the workforce, how they can ask for help, and ways spouses or partners can offer support to a new mom who's struggling.

This episode will leave listeners with a deeper sense of validation and hope and serves as a powerful reminder that you are not alone.
