Being Serena .... Excellent show. Watched all Episodes at once.
As a woman who experienced a very difficult birth as well as difficult recovery for my baby and myself, it's painful to watch as Serena pushes herself surrounded by her all male coaches who haven't the slightest idea how to help her with her post pregnancy issues.
First of all, the woman is experiencing fear and anxiety. Anxiety all through her pregnancy, wedding (not so much), her baby's birth, and post partum life threatening complications.
She really needed to take time off for herself for about a year at least.
The hormonal adjustments her body was experiencing along with trauma made me feel for her as only another woman can who has experienced this.
She had some of the best coaches, but I think she could have been helped more by getting therapy to control her anxiety and fears. Being in a constant state of I'll ease releases cortisol. Her body was working against her will.
To top it off, posing to her as one coach did that 'she wasn't trying hard enough' made me want to jump into the screen and beat that guy up.
I admire her courage, her will. There was no way other than to let her rest for her to recover.
It's just sad she couldn't do that.
Serena is still my hero and will always be an encouragement in my getting my own health back.
