To kick off this third episode in the Perinatal Mental Health podcast series I chat with the amazing Yara Heary about navigating anger, rage and other conflicting emotions in the motherhood journey.In this episode @lifeafterbirthpsychology and I chat about:

• Guilt and shame in pregnancy and the difference between guilt and shame 
• Maternal ambivalence - normalising conflicting emotions in motherhood 
• How we can still be great mothers even if we don’t enjoy parenting 
• Authentic parenting and dropping the “shoulds” of motherhood
