Perelel Lives

Season two of Perelel Lives will be back shortly. But in the meantime, we have a very special four-part mini-series that we're excited to share with you all, called Matrescence—a fascinating look into the postpartum mind.We invited influencer and entrepreneur, Aimee Song, to sit down with our very own reproductive psychiatrist, Dr. Sarah Oreck, MD, MS, following the birth of her baby. The two talk about the realities of the postpartum experience and the shifts that occur within ourselves as we transition into motherhood. In the next four episodes, we dive into topics like self-identity, mom guilt, new emotions, and so much more. Today's topic: self-identity.
