On depletion, maternal burnout, and why we mourn brilliant women instead of nourishing them while they're alive — reflections after Dr. Carolyn Elliott's death.
This is something that I feel we (women specifically) have been conditioned to do over the generations - stop listening to our instincts, and start sacrificing how we feel for the sake of others. I honestly feel this is a big part that plays into maternal mental health.
