I wanted to share my heart and truth with you in hopes that anyone going through the same thing will know that they are not alone.

This is definitely the most vulnerable I have ever been on a podcast episode. I share with you that I have been going to therapy for the last few months. It is something I feel needs to be shared more often and louder by all moms - because we are not alone! 

In this episode I share: 

• The experiences and emotions that led me to realize that I needed to seek help 
• What I talk about with my therapist and the things I have learned in our sessions 
• Things that are (and are not helpful) to say to a new mom 
• My suggestions for you to seek help if you feel you need it

If you’ve been listening for a while, you know that I had the *perfect* plan to begin working out after I gave birth. It involved running a half marathon (cue eye roll). Well, I could not have been more wrong about what my postpartum body journey would look like. In this episode, I share the truth on my path so far. Including what fitness really looks like for me now, attending my first Mom and Me workout class and how the most important thing that I’ve learned is that you need to remember to fill your own cup up!
