In this series, I talk with Priya Rednam Waldo*, a licensed perinatal therapist, coach and keynote speaker, to discuss the unique challenges high-achieving moms often experience during pregnancy and postpartum.
In Part 1, we discuss why pregnancy and early motherhood can feel different for high-achieving moms. Not because anything is going wrong, but because strengths like responsibility, competence, and high standards can make it harder to notice early signals that support might be helpful.
For many women, having the right team in place early is less about “needing help” and more about setting themselves up for a smoother, more confident transition into motherhood and back to work.
