If you’ve always been the “easygoing one,” the helper, the yes-girl… postpartum can feel like the moment where that identity starts to crack.
Suddenly, everyone has opinions. Everyone wants time. And you’re left managing exhaustion, recovery, emotions, and a brand-new mental load—while still worrying about disappointing others.
In this episode of Postpartum Better, Chelsea Barbine is joined by perinatal therapist and mom of 2 Leah Andreoni, MA, LMFT, PMH-C - to discuss why boundaries aren’t selfish postpartum—they’re protective, and why people-pleasing can quietly sabotage your recovery, confidence, and nervous system.
This conversation is especially for the mom who:
Feels guilty saying no—even when she’s exhaustedSays yes to visitors, favors, or conversations she doesn’t have energy forWorries about being “ungrateful” or “difficult”Feels resentful, overstimulated, or depleted but doesn’t know whyDisclaimer: The information and stories shared during this episode is intended to offer general guidance and support.
