Sleep Deprivation, Postpartum Depression, Therapy, And Parenting While Working After Kids - Gabriele Nicolet S6 E85

Becoming Parents Parenting Entrepreneurs, and Birthwork

How hard could it be? That's what Gabriele thought when she became a first-time parent. As a pediatric speech therapist, she thought she had the skills to make motherhood easy. Little did she know.

*Postpartum depression is hard

*There were lots of "parenting rules" she got to sift through (and get rid of)

*There's a reason that sleep deprivation is used a form of torture

* There's a reason that babies are cute (it's so that you won't throw them out the window!)

*Typical development is a miracle.

Gabriele is a speech therapist and parent coach. She is the owner and Head Toddler Whisperer at SpeechKids, a private online speech therapy practice serving families both in and outside the DC Metro area. She is also the co-founder of Raising Orchid Kids, a parent education and coaching practice Gabriele is passionate about showing families how to help their Orchid Kids (kids who need a little bit “extra”) thrive and not just survive. She works with children and their families 1:1 and in groups through her Raising Orchid Kids programs.
