Overcoming Postpartum Salt by Seeing the Light in Motherhood w/ Lindsey Goodyear

Lindsey Goodyear is a wife, and a mama to a sweet, 2-year-old named Jackson with their second due in May! She is a part-time nurse practitioner and a full-time Southern mama born and raised in South Louisiana.

After giving birth to her son, she struggled with the transition into motherhood. She had significant postpartum anxiety. She set unrealistic expectations for herself & felt victimized by comparison. She was exhausted. Overwhelmed. & she had just lost her joy and felt like a complete failure as a mom.

She kept thinking, “I cannot be the only one struggling with this.” So she started reaching out to friends, talking openly about the challenges she was facing, and tackling issues head-on with therapy. The more she talked, the more she discovered that, in fact, she was NOT the only one. SO MANY of the women she talked to were struggling with the same issues and were feeling unfulfilled in motherhood as well.

She created the Salt & Light Motherhood Co. as a safe place to discuss motherhood- REAL motherhood- not the filtered version we usually see on social media. She values authenticity, vulnerability, and honesty and strives to celebrate the individual motherhood journey that each mama takes on. All while simultaneously providing her with the support, education & resources she needs to empower her to CONFIDENTLY make decisions, step into her role as a mother, & rest on the path she has chosen for herself and her family.

In this episode, we talk about her postpartum anxiety journey and how she is still working on it daily. She shares how marriage has changed after kids but how they still keep their marriage strong. She gives advice to the mamas struggling with postpartum, perfectionism & letting go of control.

This is a great REAL conversation!
