Alexandra Sacks M.D. is a renowned Reproductive Psychiatrist and the leading expert on “matrescence,” the developmental transition into motherhood. She's the co-author of  What No One Tells You: A Guide to Your Emotions From Pregnancy to Motherhood and the host of the Motherhood Sessions podcast.Together Hilaria, Daphne and Dr. Sacks discuss the realities of transitioning into motherhood and how it's completely normal (and expected) for every mom to be unprepared for the emotional and physical changes that take place as they become first time mommys. They delve into the natural insecurities, fears and challenges this new stage of life brings for every mother as they step into this new roll, and how there is a whole period of growth and learning that must happen, much like adolescence for young teens.If you feel you're suffering from postpartum depression and need help visit https://www.postpartum.net/get-help/help-for-moms/ or call 1.800.944.4773Favorite Things:Dr. Sacks: Lavender OilHilaria: The Prophet by Khalil GibranDaphne: Inno Gear 500 ML Aroma Therapy Essential Oil Diffuser Cool Mist Humidifier and Young Living Essential Oils ImmuPower and ThievesEmail us with your questions at mombrainpod@gmail.com and follow us on Instagram, just search for @MomBrain.
