Postpartum Anxiety and the Practice That Helped Me Find Peace

Are my best days behind me?Whew. Even saying that out loud is hard.Let's have an honest chat about the last two years of my life... having a baby at 40, navigating postpartum anxiety, stepping into perimenopause, worrying about money and my career, and trying to process everything happening in the world at the same time.For a while, I didn’t realize how much I was struggling because I was still functioning. I was working. I was taking care of my family. I was showing up. But underneath all of that, anxiety was getting louder, and I reached a point where I barely recognized the way I was thinking.Now, almost two years later, I finally feel like I’m finding my way back to myself. And one of the biggest things helping me isn’t another system, routine, or productivity hack. It’s stillness. ✨ We Chat About:What postpartum anxiety actually looked like for meNavigating postpartum, perimenopause, career changes, and uncertainty all at onceWhy being high-functioning doesn’t mean you aren’t strugglingThe negative thoughts that made me wonder if my best days were behind meHow faith and stillness are helping me quiet anxiety and find peaceLearning to recognize a thought without letting it dictate your decisionsWhy slowing down has completely changed the way I move through my dayIf anxiety has been sneaking into your life lately... whether it’s because of postpartum, perimenopause, money, your career, or just the uncertainty of the world around us... this chat is for you.Maybe your best days aren’t behind you.Maybe you just need enough stillness to remember how much you still have ahead of you.✨ Tell Me More:National Maternal Mental Health Hotline: 1-833-TLC-MAMAConnect with Nicole on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicolewaltersConnect with Nicole on Substack: https://nicolewaltersofficial.substack.com/Episode Sponsors:Use code NICOLE at checkout for 15% off your entire order at www.vionicshoes.com when you log into your account. 1 time use only.Ready to reach your goals?
