A Lifeline for Postpartum - Meditation

In this podcast episode, I have a rich conversation with Adreanna Limbach, author of Tea and Cake with Demons: A Buddhist Guide to Feeling Worthy. We explore what motivated her to write the book and why she chose to focus on worthiness. (So many women suffer from a feeling they are not worthy of having good things happen to us). Adreanna shares how her background in Buddhism and meditation helped her navigate the transition to motherhood. We also discuss the benefits of meditation in postpartum and the importance of protecting mental energy.

The episode wraps up with a conversation about recognizing and dealing with personal demons and embracing imperfection in motherhood. We dive into the power of language and how we identify with our emotions. Adreanna and I explore the idea of mindfulness as the spice that flavors all aspects of life and how it can be applied in our daily routines. We also touch on the importance of self-compassion and the concept of reparenting ourselves. Adreanna shares the advice she would give to her 18-year-old self and discusses the intersection of meditation, Buddhism, and daily life. Together, we reflect on the journey of becoming a mother and provide insights for new moms.
