How to Tell When You Need Support and What to Do Next with Armi Grace Petersen
So many of us don’t realize we need support until we’re already underwater.
In this episode, Paulina sits down with Armi Grace Petersen — occupational therapist, mom of three, and maternal mental health advocate — to name what “not okay” can actually look like in real life (especially for high-functioning moms who keep powering through).
You’ll learn:
The subtle signs you’re running on empty (even if you’re still getting everything done)
What postpartum anxiety and depression can look like beyond the stereotypes
How to stop minimizing your needs (“I’m fine”) and start getting honest support
What to do next — practical, realistic steps that don’t require a breakdown first
This is your permission slip to stop carrying it alone. You’re allowed to need help AND you deserve a plan.
