February 05, 2024 Episode 164: If You Don’t Fix What’s Inside Of Your Head
I feel that I’ve tried it all. Supplements, Exercise, Breathing Techniques, Therapy. And all though all of this has helped, it’s only helped temporarily. The truth is, my Anxiety came back because I was repressing instead of feeling. I was putting aside things I thought I was “over.” If you don’t fix what’s inside of your head, no amount of anything is going to be a permanent solution. This time around, I have been forced to deal with stuff I didn’t want to deal with, things I wasn’t ready for. But in the end, I am grateful because it has brought me closer to the One who has been with me through it all. Take a listen as I talk about my journey of no longer being able to repress my abandonment issues and finally being in a place where all is forgiven.

January 29, 2024 Episode 163: Victimhood of Motherhood
I wish there was a nicer way to say this but it is a reality check I have needed for myself. Many times, it has been me & ONLY ME, digging my own grave. Many times, I made myself a victim in Motherhood. Yes, motherhood is hard but thinking negatively, being angry, allowing my own triggers dictate my mom, I was making it harder on myself. Take a listen as I talk about how the victimhood of motherhood can make it harder especially for those of us who deal with Anxiety as we add on to the millions of battles we fight in our head every day.

January 15, 2024 Episode 160: It’s Not A Dirty Word
Postpartum Anxiety. Something I was ashamed to admit for so long that I was dealing with.
"What do you mean you can't handle being a mom?" "What do you mean you can't keep up with your kids?," were all judgements my own head was telling me.
My mind was telling me that because I couldn't handle the one thing I was called to do, I was failing my children as a Mother.
But there was a point when my physical symptoms made it nearly impossible to do anything but survive and wait for the anxiety attack to pass me by.
Take a listen as I had to break the stigma in my own head that Postpartum Anxiety is not a dirty word and that asking for help doesn't mean that I have failed.

This years Holidays are going to look a little bit different. Not only am I dealing with PPA/PPD but I am trying to set boundaries on what’s going to work best for me and my family.

We are trying to teach our kid’s differently about what the Holidays mean and we hope that those around us could respect the traditions we are trying to start. The traditions we had in the past are from people that are no longer with us so we decided it’s our turn to do what we know what will be best for our family. Take a listen as I talk about what Holiday Boundaries we have set this year and potentially for the years to come.
