Welcome to my Anonymom series.  Real moms talking about their deepest and darkest moments - anonymously.  Anonymom episodes may consist of difficult topics including miscarriage, infertility, separation, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other potentially triggering issues.  Names have been changed to protect the identity of the mom. 

This episode features Jill, mom of two who went through the traumatic experience of seeing her 3 day old infant have a stroke.  She also talks to us about...

- her postpartum anxiety that she experienced with both of her children 

- her decision to get help immediately and how medications and therapy have helped her immensely 

- how she navigates life as a wife, mom of 2, business owner, and teacher while working opposite shifts from her husband
