Episode 3: Losing It with Steph Douglas

Up the Duff is brought to you by the Positive Birth Company in Partnership with ElvieProduced by Audio AFIn this first series we are diving straight in at the deep end and tackling TABOOS! The everyday stuff most people experience after having a baby, but which nobody likes to talk about. I’ll be chatting to friends of The Positive Birth Company about their experiences, as well as sharing my own, on everything from poo, wee, mind, body, sex and bodily fluids. If it’s a bit gross or a bit embarrassing, you can be sure we’ve got it covered.About this episodeWe are going to be talking about the experience of losing your mind after having children. To be clear, we’re not talking about serious or diagnosed mental health conditions but focusing on the combination of sleep deprivation, exhaustion, raging hormones and overwhelming responsibility that comes with being a parent to a small person - or multiple small people - that can cause you to act somewhat irrationally at times. We’re talking about the moments of madness that leave you feeling like you’ve completely lost your mind! About StephSteph is a mother of three, an entrepreneur, blogger and podcaster.She is the CEO and founder of Don’t Buy Her Flowers, a thoughtful giftbox service.
