Thank you, Halle Bailey (on TODAY with Hoda & Jenna) for talking about your postpartum anxiety and worry – and how you navigated it by surrounding yourself with people who love you and remind you that you’re doing a great job and this struggle is normal.

You are helping so many moms feel less alone. 🫶

It warms my heart, each and every time I hear a new mom bravely share her story and promote mental health.

Years ago, this wasn’t a mainstream conversation but hidden in the shadows.

And more awareness means more support for new moms.

If you are struggling with postpartum anxiety, worry, or depression, you aren’t alone. 1 in 5 new moms will go through this and you will feel better.

Help is available – and remember, you are doing a great job, mom!

Mom, could being thankful really help with your depression—especially with the holidays coming up?💭

Research says yes! Gratitude has been shown to improve mental health, reduce stress, and even ease symptoms of depression. But as a new mom, juggling sleepless nights and holiday chaos, finding time to feel thankful can feel like just another chore.

The truth? Gratitude doesn’t have to be perfect or time-consuming. Even small, simple practices can make a big difference in how you feel.

In my latest blog on Psychology Today, I share 5 practical gratitude tips to help overwhelmed new moms this holiday season. Here’s a sneak peek:

💡 5 Holiday Gratitude Tips for New Moms:
- Start small. Write down one thing you’re thankful for every day—big or small.
- Get your family involved. Share what you’re grateful for at the dinner table or bedtime.
- Celebrate small wins. Made it through the day? That’s worth a thank-you to yourself!
- Find gratitude in the hard moments. Reflect on how challenges are helping you grow.
- Keep it simple. Gratitude doesn’t need to be perfect; it just needs to feel honest.
