Debi talks about how being a middle child of 6, having endometriosis, growing up Jewish then converting to Christianity after getting married, and her now ex-husband's mental health affected her mothering. She shares how her physical health problems affected her mental health. (If you are having mental health struggles, please reach out to someone. If you are in the United States, you can call the National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP or 1-800-662-4357, or visit their website www.samhsa.gov.) Debi also shares how discovering her identity working as a Music Therapist changed her whole life, including how she parented. She now owns a music therapy company that services the greater Phoenix area: mindfullmusic.com. She shares she has been in a mothering/caregiving role for much of her life, and has taken on the role of "mom" for a few young adults in her life, and taken on the role of "grandma" for their kids. If you have any thoughts or questions, or if you want to share your thoughts on motherhood on the podcast, you can reach out to me, Laura Pruett, on the Laura Asks About Motherhood Facebook page or Instagram account. Happy Jewish American Heritage Month!
