    Episode 146. This week, Kristen is joined by Rebecca Fox Starr: author, writer, wife, mother and founder of “Mommy, Ever After.” Rebecca started her blog in 2010 after the birth of her daughter, when she realized that no one was speaking honestly about the difficulties, fears, boredom, loneliness and mixed-emotions that come along with all of the happy enchantment of motherhood. Kristen and Rebecca dive deep into the important conversation around normalizing anxiety, depression, and the overwhelming feelings many experience during pregnancy. Rebecca discusses her books, with her first being “Beyond the Baby Blues: Anxiety and Depression During and After Pregnancy,” and offers insights on how to breathe through the changes in your body and mindset. Kristen opens up about dealing with social anxiety and the stigma surrounding medication during pregnancy. They also dive into the fears of childbirth and share practical tips for coping with anxiety during this transformative time. Rebecca answers listener questions about topics like OCD, returning to work post-pregnancy, and the difference between baby blues and postpartum depression. Plus, they explore the importance of setting both internal and external boundaries to protect your mental well-being. Tune in for a candid conversation about mental health during pregnancy and how to nurture yourself along the way.
