The invisible juggling. The constant thinking. The love and resentment, gratitude and grief—all existing at the same time. We unpack matrescence and birth trauma, the loss (and reshaping) of identity in postpartum, and what it truly means to surrender in motherhood while learning to be comfortable with discomfort. There’s a grounded look at self care—how to voice support, and the honest difference berween  “I need a break” and “I need to numb out…avoidance, numbing and actually honouring what you need in that moment,  This episode also explores toxic productivity, emotional regulation (why it’s not about staying calm but about learning to feel), and the powerful mind-body approach to therapy. We dive into why walking—side by side, in motion—can gently rewire the nervous system and create space for clarity, regulation, and healing. Also hey positive multi-talking with exercise, talking, fresh air, sunshine and getting the dog or baby for a walk too. A conversation that honours duality, holds space for grief, and reminds mums that multiple truths can coexist—and that you’re still a good person for feeling them all. We loved tbis multi-faceted chat and cannot wIt to book some walk and talk therapy with satya.psychology!  love patty xx ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/love-patty-podcast-genuine-conversations-on-fertility-family-feminism-and-life-as-a-modern-female-7041416/episodes/53-mirinda-satya-psychology-matrescence-birth-trauma-surrendering-in-motherhood-postpartum-identity-loss-mental-load-burnout-self-care-vs-avoidance-toxic-productivity-walk-and-talk-therapy-emotional-regulation-mind-body/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/love-patty-podcast-genuine-conversations-on-fertility-family-feminism-and-life-as-a-modern-female-7041416/53-mirinda-satya-psychology-matrescence-birth-trauma-surrendering-in-motherhood-postpartum-identity-loss-mental-load-burnout-self-care-vs-avoidance-toxic-productivity-walk-and-talk-therapy-emotional-regulation-mind-body.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
