    Episode 396: Maternal Mental Health and Life Transitions
    Nov 22 2024
    🎙How can millennial moms advocate for themselves and find balance in today’s world? In this insightful episode of Whinypaluza, Rebecca Greene speaks with Lauren Tetenbaum, a clinical social worker, gender equality advocate, and writer on women’s issues. Lauren shares her journey from law to social work and discusses her commitment to helping millennial moms navigate perinatal mental health, workplace advocacy, and self-compassion. They discuss the Fair Play Method, balancing work and home responsibilities, and Lauren’s upcoming book Millennial Menopause. Key Takeaways ✨ Advocate for Yourself at Work: Lauren encourages women to ask for flexibility and support in the workplace. Small requests are often met with positive responses, which can significantly improve work-life balance. ✨ Use Social Media Mindfully: Social media can be an excellent tool for finding community, but overuse can lead to unhealthy comparisons. Lauren advises using it thoughtfully and limiting time spent scrolling. ✨ Build a Support Network: Lean on friends, family, and community resources, especially during challenging transitions. Lauren highlights Postpartum Support International as a helpful resource. ✨ Practice Self-Compassion: Be as kind to yourself as you would be to a friend. This mindset can help reduce self-imposed pressure and guilt. Quote from Lauren “Women are conditioned to be people pleasers, but nothing will change if we don’t speak up. It’s okay to ask for what you need.” How to Reach Lauren Visit Lauren’s website at thecounselaur.com for resources, coaching sessions, and further insights on mental health, gender equality, and navigating motherhood with purpose.
