How to Support a Depressed Mom on Mother’s Day

Image
  Mother’s Day is a special day to celebrate motherhood. Simple, right? Not exactly. For many people, this day can get a bit complicated, depending on many factors, like your relationship with your mother, and your feelings about being a mom yourself. This is true especially for moms who have recently given birth and are experiencing  post-partum depression and/or anxiety on Mother’s Day . As the friend or relative of a new mom who is struggling in the post-partum stages, you may be unsure how to support and celebrate this special mom on Mother’s Day. Here are some tips to keep in mind: DON’T buy anything for the home or for the kids and family. DO buy her a gift that she can use ONLY for herself, like a spa treatment, massage, comfy PJs or other clothing she’d enjoy. ______ DON’T plan an event or activity that will require energy and motivation on her part. For someone who is depressed and sleep deprived with a newborn, exerting energy on extra things can be challenging. DO e...

Questioning Your Gender Identity

Image
  Over the last few years of this pandemic, we all had a lot of alone time – time for isolation, for contemplation, for introspection. The slow-down allowed for folks to be alone with their thoughts without as many distractions. For some, there was also the added benefit of not being around societal pressures. This opened space for self-exploration to include authenticity to oneself and their experience without those social barriers.

Questioning your gender does not automatically mean that you are not cisgender, rather it means you are intentionally exploring your authentic self. Understanding your identities (professional, sexual, etc) is a lif...

What Is Career Coaching and How Can It Benefit You?

Image
  With its disruptive impact on the world of work, the pandemic challenged already crumbling ideas of what career growth looks like and pushed people to re-evaluate who they are, what their values are, and how important alignment of personal and professional goals is to them. In terms of professional development, the entire world has been going through a crisis not unlike the quarterlife one. It wasn’t a surprise, then, when on my LinkedIn feed I came across a recent article published in  Forbes  that highlights why 2022 is the year to hire a career coach. As a career coach myself, I’ve seen how working with one can empower a person to design and live a life they enjoy, a life that allows for professional growth and personal well-being. Not once or twice have I thought to myself how beneficial it would’ve been if I’d had access to a coach early in my career, as I was going through my own quarterlife crisis! Before I highlight how working with a coach can benefit you, howe...
