Melissa shared about being a young mom having postpartum depression and anxiety with both of her children, but much more intensely with her first child. She shared about how having her second child has helped her grow as a mom, and shared that her Christian faith has helped her through many days and nights. Melissa talked about moving from California to South Carolina recently, partly because she and her husband wanted their family to grow up in a slower paced culture. Melissa shared the joys of motherhood, and the things she can laugh about now, even though they were hard in the moment. She shares how much she loves spending time with her children, especially when reading aloud to them and mentioned Read Aloud Revival, a podcast to which she listens.
