In this episode Rachel talks about being her struggle with post natal depression and putting pressure on herself to pretend everything was fine. We discuss the societal pressures put on new mums to have it all together when in reality hormones and sleep deprivation make it almost impossible and how Rachel helps new mums with PND through her Lyrical Light workshops.
“I think there's something actually wrong. I'm really, it's not just baby blues already think there's something wrong, because I just felt so ashamed, I thought, oh, it will go, it will be fine. And it took me a really long time and during that time I shot a TV show for sky, made an album, made a music video, which Laila was in, I was a little baby, you know, and did it, did a, a tour and all these kinds of things.
So people thought I was this incredible person having it all together, and I was just not, I was just an absolute wreck behind the themes and my family were almost like too worried to talk to me about it cause they, they could see that I was really fragile and putting on a front of “It's great. It's like, you know, everything's fine, I can pretend.” Yeah, so a lot of them, once I’d eventually talked about it, they said, “Yeah, we knew something was wrong, but we just didn't want to push, push you in case it pushed you away.”
