Relatedness In Motherhood
Welcome back to Woman Made Well! Today, we’re wrapping up our series on the three pillars of mental well-being from self-determination theory by diving into the final pillar: relatedness. As humans, we crave connection with others, it’s deeply rooted in who we are and plays a significant role in our happiness and mental wellness.
In this episode, I’ll explore what relatedness means and why our happiest moments often involve our relationships with others. We’ll dig into why human connection is so essential for mental well-being and how postpartum can be one of the hardest times to feel connected. I’ll explain why relatedness often feels out of reach during this stage of life and how each of your relationships, whether with your partner, friends, or family, changes after having a baby.
Through my own postpartum experiences, I’ll share how I dealt with the lack of connection during that time, and I’ll give you practical tips to regain relatedness in your life. From nurturing your relationships to understanding what you need from your partner, this episode is filled with insights to help you strengthen your sense of connection and support.
