In this episode, I’m opening up about a deeply personal experience—my journey with postpartum depression. This isn’t just a story about motherhood; it’s a call to action for anyone who’s ever felt isolated in their struggles or knows someone who might be suffering in silence.

I share:

• The raw truth of my postpartum journey: From intrusive thoughts to navigating the overwhelming guilt and shame that came with it.

• What I learned from therapy: How normalizing my experiences, limiting external triggers, and using a powerful mantra helped me reclaim my mental health.

• Breaking generational cycles of abuse: How I chose to end the patterns of my past to create a safer, healthier future for my family.

• How to support others: Why asking the right questions and creating safe spaces for vulnerability is crucial for healing.

• If you’ve ever felt judged for your emotions or struggled to speak up about what’s truly going on, this episode will show you that you’re not alone—and that there’s a way forward.

Big Takeaways:
