210 million people are addicted to social media worldwide. Women are 58% more likely to suffer from depression if they have a social media addiction. So what can we do if we have an addiction to social media? 

Today I share my story about social media addiction and what has helped me. While admitting this is a problem for me is difficult, it's important to share these things so we know that we are not the only ones struggling. 

Join me and Kathi Lipp, the Queen of Clutter Free, as we chat about all things clutter and how we can enjoy our families and also work towards being clutter free.

When we are depressed and anxious and trying to heal, we focus a lot of our energy on trying to cope and get through each day and each moment. So much so that we often forget that our husband's are experiencing this journey right along with us in many ways. Join me and my husband Daniel this week as we talk about what it was like for him to have a wife with postpartum depression and how it progressed when we went from one child to 2 under the age of 3.
