This is Christine Anu like you've never heard her before as she opens up to Jess about grief, motherhood, mental health, and addiction. She reflects on losing her beloved mother, how parenting is a two-way street of learning, the many ways postnatal depression can manifest, and how mental illness can creep up unexpectedly. Christine also shares her personal journey toward healing as she celebrates her first year of sobriety. This conversation will hit you right in the heart, and stay with you.
