Episode 18: High-Risk Pregnancy Expert Parijat Deshpande On The Mind-Body Connection

Aug 5, 2019

I’m super excited to share today’s podcast with you. I’m chatting with Parijat Deshpande, a best selling author and high-risk pregnancy expert whose work focuses on stress and mental health. While much of Parijat’s work emphasizes restoring body safety before, during and after pregnancy, her understanding of stress and her approach to working through it is applicable to anyone walking through life.

 

Some of my key takeaways from my chat with Parijat include:

 

•   There’s no one way to do things; whether it’s tackling a career change or starting a business, make sure you’re doing things in a way which feels good to you.
•   Trust your gut and in doing so, you’ll learn to focus on what you want and how you can best serve the people who depend on you.
•   Stress is a physiological reaction, not a mental one. It’s important to focus on repairing its impact on our body.
•   Being in peace can afford you the opportunity to create and make decisions which give you hope and help you feel in control.
