Summary

“You do what you need to do to keep yourself sane and you do what you need to do to keep that baby alive and healthy,” says host Christi Lukasiak. In this episode of Christi’s Couch, Christi reflects back on her experience of the early days of motherhood and shares with listeners some of the viable lessons she learned along the way.

Becoming a mom changes everything and it’s important to allow yourself the grace to learn from and accept any mistakes that you make along the way. As a new mother, you must understand that you are doing the best that you can with the resources you have. The most important thing to do as a mom is to take care of yourself and your baby. Don’t compare yourself to all the picture perfect moms on Instagram, because that is not real life.

Tune into this week’s episode of Christi’s Couch for an honest conversation about being a new mom. Learn more about the importance of asking for help, how to recognize the “baby blues”, and why you need to stop comparing yourself to other moms on social media.

Quotes

“As you're experiencing things as a new parent, I think that a really important point to keep in mind is you always have to give yourself some grace.” (16:29-16:37)

“You have to eliminate expectations of what other people are telling you you should or shouldn't do.” (21:58-22:04)

“At the end of the day, you just need to keep your baby alive. That's the biggest piece of advice. It doesn't matter if you have the best Instagram posts, if they're wearing the best outfit, if you look perfect, or if you have bounced back in your body. You do what you need to do to keep yourself sane and keep that baby alive and healthy.” (27:21-27:48)

“At the end of the day, you're living real life, you're not living in an Instagram post.” (32:56-33:02)

“The number one thing you can do for your kids is to hold space for them. Hold space for them to let them know that it's okay to figure things out.” (44:39-44:54)
