"I could only find people talking about all the negatives or all the positives. There was no middle ground."

About This Episode: It's Mama Monday! This week, I'm talking with mom Courtney. I loved this whole conversation and I know you will too! Here are just some of the topics we discussed:

-What apraxia of speech looked like in her child
-Loneliness during the postnatal depression period
-How she handled judgmental comments from others
-Finding a balance of what to share and how to share it to create a safe space for other moms
-How toxic positivity makes moms of ND kids feel guilty
-How she made a conscious decision not to judge anyone else and now spreads a message of kindness and grace

Please shower Courtney with love and support by SHARING this episode with a mom who needs to hear her story.
