**Trigger Warning** 

This episode talks about post-partum depression and anxiety.

We’re back with another Mama, talking about real-life struggles in a very real way. Joining me is Mia Tobin, a wife and mom of two from Ireland. She shares her story of post-partum depression and anxiety, living through a very difficult start to motherhood, and the celebration of making it through. 

Episode Highlights:

-The symptoms she first recognized might be a problem

-Getting treatment, and how it’s changed her mindset

-Surviving babies who don’t sleep well, and struggling with reflux

-What continues to help her work through mental health issues

-And, for fun - we compare Ireland vs. USA when it comes to maternity and childcare.

Mia Tobin joins me as a “Real Life Mom,” part of a series of guests I bring on each month who don’t necessarily have a social media presence for the public. I’m so grateful for these women joining me and sharing their stories, and I hope hearing this real-life take helps you feel very much a part of this online community.
