Welcome to this episode of our podcast, where we had the pleasure of interviewing Monika Malan, a life coach, mentor and leader in the corporate world for over 15 years. Monika's journey has been one of battling anxiety and depression for years, and giving birth during the start of COVID-19, level 5 lockdown.
Monika shares her personal experience of overcoming anxiety and insecurity as a new mom, and how she has blended her skills to help other anxious first-time moms relax and enjoy motherhood without living in constant fear of doing something wrong.
In this episode, Monika talks about her website, www.newmom.co.za, and how it serves as a platform for new moms to connect, learn, and grow together. She also discusses the importance of self-care, setting boundaries, and seeking support from a community of like-minded individuals.
If you are a new mom struggling with anxiety, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to learn from Monika's experience and gain valuable insights on how to navigate the challenges of motherhood with ease and confidence.
