So many moms assume the brain fog, mood swings, weight struggles, and constant fatigue are simply part of motherhood, but there is often so much more happening beneath the surface.

In this episode of Simple Health for Moms, Camille sits down with family nurse practitioner Sarah Dougan to talk about why so many moms continue to struggle long after the newborn stage.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why postpartum recovery can last months or even years after having a baby

• Common signs of postpartum depletion, including fatigue, mood changes, brain fog, and weight struggles

• How chronic stress affects your hormones, energy, and overall health

• Why addressing root causes matters more than simply treating symptoms

• Simple ways to begin supporting your body without adding more overwhelm

• How to know when it may be time to seek deeper, personalized support
