• DATE: Aug 3, 2023
• PODCAST NAME: New Mom Naturopath 
• EPISODE TITLE AND NUMBER: How to handle Judgment as a New Mom, epi # 27 

As a mom with a child going through clubfoot treatment, judgment was assumed everywhere I went. My son was wearing casts from toe to thigh as an infant. People automatically assumed something happened. My gut reaction was a total shame, as people assumed I did something to my child. I harmed him or neglected him in some way. But in reality, I was making a huge sacrifice of my son's postpartum snuggles so that he could walk. 

In this episode, I walk you through the steps I took to help myself deal with judgment from other mothers clearly so that you do not have to take on the judgment of others. 

Ignore [8:12]

The easiest thing to do is to let people think whatever they want about you as a mom. You cannot control others' opinions and know you are doing an excellent job. But this can be super challenging because, as a new mom, you are filled with doubt. But I am here to tell you, you can ignore others' judgments. You do not owe anyone a reason for making your choices as a new parent. Period.

Educate [9:19] 

Sometimes I wanted to take the time to tell people about my son’s condition, and this is an excellent time to let people know that sometimes their questions are not as benign as they think. It is never ok to assume I harmed my child, even if they are undergoing medical care.  Remember, you do not owe anyone an explanation for how

you choose to parent, but sometimes there are windows of opportunity to help people grow. 

Look in the MIrror [10:29] 

Ugh, I hate this one.  Yes, sometimes moms would come up to me and say, " My son has a clubfoot. You are doing a good job, Mom. And they had been staring at me for 20 minutes. That whole time, I had been judging them, thinking, how dare you judge me and my son’s treatment? And then I realized they were empathizing with me!  How are you letting yourself feel others? How are you assuming someone is judging you?  I learned this from the Judgement Detox from Gabby Bernstein. I encourage you to check that book out for more details on clearing judgment. It is not easy, but it is so worth it. 

_____________________________________________________

Are you worried you won’t be able to prioritize yourself this time? 

I know you want to be the perfect mother. To change all the generational trauma that has run in your family for so long? 

What about those moments when you feel like giving up? What if you had someone in your corner cheering you on? Are you cheering for a better future and helping you become the mom your child deserves? 

I am so excited to introduce the New Mom Naturopath coaching program. A 12-week coaching experience where I walk you through each week of the postpartum period.

Have you ever left a doctor’s office and felt infuriated? Sure, there are many times it's because you haven’t been heard. But what would happen if you looked honestly at your own decision?

How have you let your bias get in the way of the next step in your health journey?

In this episode, I explain that the process of being a mother is a challenging one, not just physically but emotionally. You will develop resilience, determination and challenge yourself in ways you did not think possible. This is a normal occurrence, and asking for help and exploring this changing world is ok. Don’t get overwhelmed by the judgment or the opinions of others. Trust your instinct and be led to the role you are meant to play as a new mom.

There are ton of resources I used during postpartum and pregnancy to help me get through such a difficult time. Without these resources, I am not sure what mental state I would be in. The apps I used during pregnancy and postpartum are: 

Headspace: A meditation app that give mindfulness practices and meditation for every stage of life 

WonderWeeks: An app that can you identify what stage of development your baby might be in and how this could potentially could effect your babies mood. 

Gentlebirth: This Australian-based app has hypnosis training to help you with pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. I even found it helpful during my c-section. 

I hope these are great resources for you during your pregnancy journey.

It can be really hard to have open and positive conversation with your partner during postpartum. You do not have the most well-rested mind and while you have the best intentions of being kind and courteous, lack of sleep can make you say some crazy things.

In this episode, I give you tangible tips for creating open communication during postpartum so that you can avoid some of those postpartum fights. I will talk about when to have a discussion with your husband about postpartum, how to create code words for getting help from each other and how to create a plan for repair after a fight. 

The postpartum period is filled with a lot of love for your new born. While it is a time of love and happiness, it is also a time of a lot of stress and sleep deprivation. This episode can help you establish good communication so that you can take active control of your relationship when the baby gets here.

I had a scheduled C-section so some of this advice may be slightly different from what you have seen from other mothers.  I made sure that everything I needed during postpartum was within reach so that I could be present with my baby while healing. In this episode, I talk about what I had in my postpartum cart and how I managed to make sure I ate during the postpartum period. This is a time a healing, so it is vital that as a new mother you allow yourself to have everything you need to take care of your baby so that you can be the best mother to your new baby. Whether that means food or extra clothes, I share my experience in this episode.

I also walk you through my journey of figuring out that leaving facebook groups for a time being was not just a good idea it was necessary for my mental health as I finished by pregnancy. And this was even in a group meant to help parents with my sons clubfoot diagnosis.

In today's podcast, I tell you about the struggles of nursing during postpartum. Breastfeeding can be challenging, even though it should be second nature. I shared how I managed a difficult start to my breastfeeding journey. I discuss how I handle tongue ties with my son and ways I would do postpartum differently in terms of breastfeeding. I give some breastfeeding tips, whether finding the right breastfeeding positions or having compassion for yourself.  

As always, I tell you who you should contact, even if you are at your wit's end. The main point is if you want to breastfeed, you can breastfeed. Period. But also, you should give yourself grace and know you can still connect with your child even if you do not choose to nurse.

You got this, mama! Nursing is not easy. Postpartum is difficult, but I am here as you go through each step in this beautiful journey.

In this episode, I discussed how I planned my meals postpartum. It is ideal to plan some freezer meals during the end of the 3rd trimester. The meals last about three months in the freezer and can be used through that 4th trimester to help keep you from eating out when you are overwhelmed and exhausted. Nothing is more comforting than a warm meal after a day of crying (I don’t just mean the baby).  

I used three different resources to help me get meals completed: 

• Family Freezer 

This resource gave me recipes to try for my postpartum. They are easy to make and delicious. My husband and I love them. And then you don’t have to worry about meal planning 

• Meal Train

Send this to your friends and family so they can provide you with meals. This app lets your friends tell you when they can drop off food. And for those with family out of town, it can send you a gift card. If you feel awkward asking friends for help (which you shouldn’t!), have a close friend send it out. 

• Hungry Root 

This meal service is excellent. It takes less than 30 minutes to cook the meals and minimal groceries. I felt great; The meals were healthy and delicious. I was very thankful my husband got it for me. 

Eating during postpartum is hard. You are so focused on the baby and their needs (and catching up on sleep whenever possible) that you forget to eat. And some of you might be thinking, there is no way I could forget about the food! But from one foodie to another, yes, Yes, you can.

Sleep is vital for functioning as a New Mom, and the steps to getting sleep during the 4th trimester are difficult. In this episode, I guide you through the steps you need to take now to get rest as a new mom. 

Sometimes getting sleep postpartum means sleep training and using available resources. Still, it usually involves setting boundaries, asking for help, creating routines, and readjusting your expectations daily. 

In this episode, I get real with how I made it through postpartum with rest on the forefront of my mind even when it was utter chaos.

In this episode, I address how to make a tough decision as a new mom. From choosing circumcision or not to seat belts and rear-facing car seats to give up coffee because your toddler wants to join you every morning, the choices can be easy and difficult.

I understand the challenges of being a new mom, as I experienced it firsthand. Two weeks into my son's life, he couldn't latch, and I was a crying mess. I share this personal story to emphasize the problem and make you feel heard.

But I want to offer you a message of hope. There is a solution to this decision-making struggle. I break it down into three steps to allow you to follow along.

Step #1 is to assess your feelings, both bodily and intellectual. Take a moment to ask yourself what you're feeling, where you've felt this way before, and what specific conflict you're worried about.

Step #2 involves journaling or discussing feelings to create an action plan. Open your mind to different possibilities and make decisions with open and closed-fisted approaches. Consider what you'll do when certain situations arise.

Step #3 is all about giving yourself grace. Remember that the emotions you feel are valid. Find ways to support yourself emotionally while making decisions for your child. It's essential to distance yourself from mom groups that disagree with your boundaries and seek support from your family, especially your partner. Take a deep breath and believe in yourself—you've got this!

I want to leave you with the message that there is hope for you. You can navigate these tough decisions as a new mom. And if you need more help, don't hesitate to contact me. Together, we can find the support and guidance you need on this journey of motherhood.

Note: This podcast episode is intended for informational purposes only and should not replace professional advice. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized guidance during pregnancy and early parenthood.

In this episode of "The New Mom Doc" podcast, I, Dr. Kailyn Galloway, discuss birth plans and the healthy and not-so-healthy ways of approaching them. I share my personal experience and shed light on the anxiety that can arise from striving for a perfect birth plan.

Initially, I hoped for an unmedicated, natural birth at an outpatient birth center. However, my pregnancy had complications, forcing me to change my plan for my safety and mental health. Each adjustment meant mourning the loss of the pregnancy I had envisioned.

It's important to address more than just personal desires in birth plans. While we would love to get everything we want, the reality often differs. I experienced challenges like painful contractions without progress and exhaustion due to medical school commitments.

Setting boundaries when seeking advice and support is crucial. I made it clear in my birth plan who I would accept advice from and engaged in open discussions with my healthcare team to ensure my needs were met.

I believe organizing plans is similar to the birthing process. Birth plans act as guideposts amid the chaos and pain of labor, helping us stay focused on our heart's desires and providing direction in difficult moments.

Preparing for worst-case scenarios and having action steps in place is essential. It's also crucial to have plans for the postpartum period, including emotional support and seeking help if needed.

Acknowledging and processing emotions is vital when birth experiences are not as desired. I personally struggled with my child's birth and postpartum period, realizing the importance of allowing myself to feel and express my emotions, even if they deviated from my expectations.

To sum it up, this episode of "The New Mom Doc" podcast, hosted by me, Dr. Kailyn Galloway, offers insights into birth plans, emphasizing flexibility and emotional aspects. I share personal anecdotes and practical advice and encourage self-care for new moms navigating the complexities of birth and early motherhood.

In my podcast, I, Dr. Kailyn Galloway, open up about my personal journey as a mother and share my reflections on the challenges and transitions that come with pregnancy, postpartum, and becoming a mom. I've realized that many of my life transitions revolve around pregnancy and motherhood. I want to use this platform to support and connect with fellow moms who may be going through similar experiences.

During moments of contemplation, I realized that the stories I want to share are centered around motherhood's mental and emotional aspects. It's not just about physical parenting techniques or guidelines but about the mental health transition that occurs when you become responsible for another human being. There are countless decisions to make as a mom, and I want to create a space where moms can exercise their autonomy and make choices that align with their values.

Despite having medical training, I found myself overwhelmed and constantly seeking guidance during the early stages of motherhood. I believe that having a mentor or support system would have been invaluable during that time. It's essential for moms to know it's okay to feel afraid and to be uncertain, and to disagree with others. Each mom has her own path to follow, and I want to provide advice and encouragement on embracing that journey and stepping into one's own power.

In the podcast, I touch on various topics, such as the physical changes of pregnancy, postpartum emotions, and the challenges of making decisions that may cause discomfort for our children but are ultimately for their well-being. I share my experience with my child's clubfoot treatment, a difficult decision with long-term benefits. Being a mom involves constantly navigating our children's emotions, communication, and development, which can be challenging and rewarding.

Through my podcast, I aim to create a sense of community and reassure mothers that they are not alone in their struggles. Whether it's dealing with postpartum depression, finding empowerment as a mom, or embracing the changes in our bodies, I want to provide support and resources. Motherhood is a transformative journey, and I hope to be a source of guidance and understanding.

I invite listeners to connect with me on my Facebook page, "The New Mom Doc," and look forward to sharing more insights and experiences in future podcast episodes.

Are you feeling stuck in your healthcare journey? Sick of going to the doctor and not being listened to? Are you drained by not making progress? 

Now here me out; when was the last time you actually thought about how you want your healthcare journey to go? What do you want out of going to the doctor? What is your ultimate goal? Is it realistic for today? What is your goal for this appointment? 

I understand completely. Your health journey is certainly not linear, nor has mine been. But in this episode, I challenge you to look at your health journey differently. Look at how you want to feel and establish what you want. You can open your mind to the possibilities you have in front of you by changing your perspective of healthcare. 

Your mindset shifts are super crucial for when you go to the doctor! In this episode, I give you time and specific journaling prompts for changing your mindset before going to the doctor's office and after. I will tell you how I change my perspective in my personal life and how it applies to your health.

Boundaries as a patient are challenging. That is why you must decidxe what you are doing before visiting a doctor. You need to make sure you are clear on what you want. 

In this episode, I discuss my struggles with creating boundaries and the importance of accepting that sometimes medical visits are about hearing from an objective observer. I talk about my struggles with gestational diabetes and shame as a patient. 

Give this episode a listen if you are wondering how to decide if a doctor's advice is some tough love you need or if you should go running for a second opinion.

Ever felt resistance in telling a friend about how good things are going? Feel like the ball would be dropped if you stated a positive? 

I am raising my hand right with you! 

It can be super challenging to work through difficult times in life as well as in the healthcare journey. Sometimes we are waiting for the shoe to drop so many times, that we forget to look at how far we have come. 

Have you forgotten to take pride in the success you have experienced? Even if that success is not your current goal. So have I! 

In this episode, I get real honest about my struggles with being ok to be happy.

When my Son was diagnosed with Club foot, it was a lot of processes. I was scared and miserable at the thought of losing out on the post-partum period I craved. I was most worried I could not handle it. Through help via counseling, friends, and medications, I was able to manage the depression and lead my son into a successful treatment even though I was doubtful of my ability to manage all of it. 

This podcast is about how I accepted his diagnosis without having to feel the pressure to "overcome it." I did not have to be the mom that loved the treatment options available to me. I did not have to be vital for anyone else but me and my son. Acceptance was not an easy battle, and it was a real struggle for me. I hope this podcast gives you a little experience about how to look at your diagnosis.

When dealing with depression it is important to have an action plan. The best time to create an action plan is when you are not in a depressive state and that is the goal of today. If you are currently struggling with depression, this exercise should be done under the supervision of a licensed health provider. 

It is important to know what are your warning signs for a depressive episode or for your other mental health disorders. These are things that usually cue you into the know that you need to support yourself today. Second, you should have a list of coping strategies that help you feel better. You should have a list of reasons you need to live. Reasons could be people in your life or events that are coming up or work that needs to be done. You are here for a reason. You are worthy of this life. Next you need to have a list of people you can contact when you are feeling down. Finally, create a list of places you can go to distract yourself~ this can be a park, a library or mall. 

IF you are struggling with depression and need help in the USA, dial 988.  The text line is 741741. These resources are available 7 days a week. 

Finally, be kind to yourself and know you are loved and care for even when it doesn’t feel like it.

Want to know how to get your physician to listen to you during an appointment?

Tired of leaving an office visit feeling depleted and ignored?

Listen up because in today's episode we are discussing ways to help you feel seen and heard. 

It is important to prepare for your appointment by setting a goal for your intended physician. This means that each appointment needs to have a small and specific goal that you want to achieve. Once this is set, you can collect the necessary information so that you can give a detail, but concise history to your doctor. Finally, give yourself space to think about the appointment. Get clear on how you feel and what steps you will take until you see that physician again. Be clear on your boundaries and what your outcomes will be. If you can bring someone with you to help with advocacy. At the end of the day, remember everyone has different perspectives. It is your job to have empathy and use this information to help you get where you ultimately want to go.

Are you sick of diet plans that you can never stick to you? Do you find its to hard to commit to your life? Here are 3 ways you can commit to yourself and get to a healthier you. Getting Healthier is about making small actionable changes that lead to habits over time that, with consistency you can see results. In order to be healthy, you need to stop over thinking it. Down to its core, you must take actions that are doable for you in this current season of your life. You do not need to do a complete overhaul of your life. You can create small changes over time toward your ultimate goal of health. It is important to show up for yourself daily in these changes and to make them as easy as you can so that you can commit to them for the long-term. Success does not happen overnight but it compounds massively as you continue to learn how to show up for yourself daily. 

Hello Welcome to the Naturopathic Doc Podcast. I am your host Dr. Kailyn Galloway. 

Are you Tired of going to doctors and finding no answers? 

Feeling defeated by how you get dismissed by healthcare providers? 

Sick of juggling appointments and not feeling like your best? 

Are you curious about alternative medicine and want to know how you can take an active role in your healthcare?

Finally ready to make progress in your health? 

In this podcast, you will find the solutions, so you get the care you deserve and your healthy life back. My mission is to help women with chronic illnesses regain their power by understanding their diagnosis, coaching them on how to get the most out of each doctor’s visit, and taking tangible steps toward fundamental changes in their health. If you’re ready to stop the waiting room madness and finally take the driver’s seat to your health, this podcast is for you.

Hey, I am Dr. Kailyn Galloway, and I am a Naturopathic doctor. I treat using a blend of traditional and alternative medicine. I have a strong foundation in western diagnostic medicine and pharmaceuticals, but I love to use nutrition, supplementation, exercise, and botanical medicine. I help women better understand their diagnosis, treatment options, and even symptoms. I have seen countless patients fearful of treatment options they don’t understand, consistently dismissed by healthcare providers, and feeling lost about what steps they can take now to feel better today. 

I finally realized I have years of training on how to be a doctor. I have painstakingly honed my craft in diagnosis and treatment. But no one teaches you, the patient, how to get the most out of every office visit! And that’s where I come in, with some Naturopathic roots. 

So if you are finally ready to do the work, understand how to flip the script, and become your health manager, then I hope you join me for the Naturopathic Doc Podcast

Title: 125| You Have Probably Already Made this Mistake as an Anxious Postpartum Mom

Welcome to the New Mom Naturopath Podcast!

Many new moms make the common mistake of over-planning for labor and under-preparing for the postpartum period, which can lead to unexpected challenges and heightened anxiety. This episode addresses the reality that postpartum often differs significantly from expectations, resulting in feelings of overwhelm and guilt. It emphasizes the importance of prioritizing self-care, both physically and emotionally, during this time. Practical steps include reaching out for help, building a supportive network, and adjusting expectations to embrace the postpartum journey. The episode encourages moms to recognize that it’s okay to ask for support and that taking small steps towards self-care can make a significant difference in managing the demands of postpartum life.

But in today's episode we talk about how to realistically lose weight in postpartum, by embracing the season you are in, getting clear on your body's needs, and knowing that it is not a matter of wanting to get back to your old body.

Hello Mama! So happy you could join us today! Today we are talking about decluttering. You will be amazed at the amount of stuff you can collect in postpartum. And to be honest, you are a major target for marketing at this time. You will be given so much from friends. So much from your feed will be fear based getting you to buy the next thing. Only for you to find that it never gets used and is just taking away space. 

So in this episode, I encourage you to get rid of excess and return back to only what your basic needs are. The excess is only going to lead to stress and guilt. Pare down to the basics because the reality is you need very little to care for a baby! Hope you enjoy today's episode and I cannot wait to connect with you more on the New Mom Naturopath podcast!
