Mothering Anxiety episodes

  • Episode 134: Dear Mama

    After 2 year of going no contact with my family, I decided to reach out to my Mother. In honor of Mother's Day, I decided to finally talk about it but also because it took me a few months to truly figure out what was going through my head. It wasn't what I expected but I truly believe that it was the reality that I needed. Also a time for me to realize how much more healing I needed to do.


    Take a listen as I talk about my experience of finally talking to my Mother after doing some healing work and what I came to realize in between these last few months.

  • Episode 133: Why A Blog Now?
    So why a blog now?
    Because Anxiety isn't limited to only 30 minutes a week, once a week.
    Because Anxiety isn't just on topic at a time & only being Anxious over one thing.
    Listen as I go deep into why I decided to start a blog and the hopes to expanding further.

  • Episode 132: Anxiety & Breastfeeding

    Before you think this is an episode where I say "Breast is Best," it is not. This is an episode about "Mama's Mental Health is best."

    I've done both. My daughter was formula fed and I am currently almost at 9 months breastfeeding my son. It has been one heck of a journey I can tell you that and there are many thoughts that need to be said as a Mom who deals with Anxiety.

    Take a listen as I talk about what breastfeeding as an Anxious Mom has done to my healing journey.

  • Episode 131: Reality Check

    My 9 year wedding anniversary has come and passed and it took a very "real" and "eye opening" therapy session for me to realize that I've been holding on to the wrong things.

    My therapist is great at giving me reality checks and it truly shows my progress during my healing journey beause I can listen and know that she's right without taking offense.

    Take a listen as I talk about the harsh reality I came to find even 9 years later.

  • Episode 130: I Still Have Anxiety

    Guys, it has been a WEEK. Actually, it's been more like 3 weeks & the Anxiety is out of control. I feel as if life lately has been one thing after another and I can't seem to catch a break. So what better time than now then to record an episode when my mind is in that Anxious state.

    Take a listen as I talk about where my mind is and what I'm doing to get out of it.

  • Episode 129: Motherhood Is Not For The Anxious

    This weeks episode is short but not very sweet. We had a pretty traumatic event happen to us which even towards the end of the week when I thought I was "okay" to record an episode, I still was not.

    All I have to say is that Motherhood is not for the Anxious. And truly it was just my Anxiety that made everything a million times worse when everything turned out okay in the end.


    Take a listen as I talk about an injury that happened to my daughter where I truly did not know how I was going to survive in the Emergency Room.

  • Episode 128: Anxiety While Sick
    I apologize before you tune into this episode, my voice is still a little iffy. If you tuned into last weeks episode you heard me going from my normal self to about halfway through sounding like a sick dog. I was dealing with sick kids in the middle of the week, then I got sick, and well, that's just how life goes.
    I thought my voice would be better this week but here we are on Friday before this airs on Monday and it is still gone. So why not use it to my advantage and record an episode about the Anxiety I feel while being sick.
    Take a listen as I go through all my emotions and overthinking every time I get sick. From thinking I am going to be okay to thinking I'm going to die in 3.5 seconds.

  • Episode 127: Your Anxiety Is Lying To You
    How many times have you had to tell your Anxiety to "shut up?" How many times have you noticed that your Anxiety really just loves to appear at the worst possible time?
    As I am continuing on this healing journey, I have learned many ways that my Anxiety lies to me. Telling me that I'm dumb, telling me that I don't deserve to be here, telling me that I am a waste of space.
    YOUR ANXIETY IS LYING TO YOU.
    Take a listen as I talk about the most recent revelation I have had when it comes to unpacking more trauma and realizing where my Social Anxiety stems from.

  • Episode 126: Anxiety Transitioning from 1-2
    I'm 7 months into having 2 kids so CLEARLY, I'm an expert on how to handle 2 right? LOL. NOT.
    I was always a little anxious about how I would manage my time between two kids, how I would be able to work around both of their schedules, how I was suppose to find time for "me," and how was I suppose to find time for my Husband. All valid anxieties I feel like and all valid concerns any mom about to have a second baby would have.
    Take  a listen as I talk about my Anxiety while pregnant of going from 1 kid to 2 kids and how that  Anxiety changed once the baby actually arrived.
