EP. 47: When Mom Isn’t Okay, Nobody Is Okay: The Hidden Cost of Being the “Strong One”
What happens when the woman holding everything together isn't okay? In Episode 47 of Life & Love by Design, I’m talking about women’s mental health, motherhood, burnout, overwhelm, postpartum mental health, and the pressure women feel to keep functioning no matter what. I know a lot of women who struggle after giving birth, so I wanted to dedicate an entire episode to talking about how we can help the mothers in our lives, and ourselves as mothers.
The Lindsay Clancy case was a heartbreaking reminder of why this conversation matters. But this episode is about something much bigger: what happens when the person everyone depends on is quietly falling apart, and why taking care of your mental health is not selfish. Because sometimes, “I’m fine” doesn’t mean fine.
Taking care of yourself isn't selfish. Your mental health matters. Your life matters. And the people who love you need you well. Tune in to hear what you can do to support the mothers in your life before a crisis appears.
This episode references the Lindsay Clancy case as a catalyst for a broader conversation about maternal and women’s mental health. It does not offer a legal or medical opinion about the case or its outcome.
