Best of luck to all the parents of kiddos going back to school soon! You’re packing lunches, buying school supplies, signing and turning in all the forms, driving carpool or sending them on the bus for the first time. Back to school is an exciting and busy time for the entire family - but particularly for moms who are usually the ‘default parent.’ (IYKYK)

As you’re adding all of the school events to your calendar don’t forget to prioritize activities for YOU to enjoy! Lunch with a friend, solo walk in the park, a big fat nap or getting back on your therapist’s schedule are all things that won’t feel like a chore and will help you reenergize. Just in time for your children to come home and give you a one-word answer to “How was your first day of school sweetie?”

Postpartum depression (PPD) can manifest in various ways, but common signs include persistent sadness, anxiety, fatigue, and a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed. It's also characterized by changes in sleep and appetite, feelings of worthlessness or guilt, difficulty bonding with the baby, and even thoughts of harming oneself or the baby. If these symptoms are severe, persistent, or interfere with daily life, it's crucial to seek professional help.

This graphic from Dr. Brene Brown is one we reference often when working with women and birthing parents in therapy. If you're struggling to "let go" of something like perfectionism, or anxiety or comparison - try activities that engage your self-compassion, calm and stillness or creativity.
