Megan and Lauren from The Matrescence are back with us today. If you’ve been around for a while then you know they were on previously in episode #112. The Matrescence was born out of a desire to help other women navigate their personal experiences with motherhood while providing a community to support, uplift, and empower one another. Lauren is a licensed and trained registered nurse in the NICU and a mom of three precious little men. She is also now a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, focusing on women’s health and wellness. Megan splits her time developing marketing strategies for national brands and chasing three toddlers. In today’s episode we cover everything from anxiety to depression to what this looks like inside motherhood and how we can keep ourselves mentally well. This month is mental health awareness month and as you guys know we think this is so important. Lauren and Megan provide us with strategies on how we can cope with mental health challenges, explain how we can start to accept help for those of us who struggle in this area, and share their top wellness tips that they recommend every mom does.If you enjoyed today’s episode, please tag both @thematrescence and @herselfpodcast and share it to your Instagram stories.
