September 25, 202023. Jamina Bone: Illustrator @mommingwithtruth + Postpartum Depression
This week's guest is Jamina Boone. Jamina is the illustrator behind the Instagram page @mommingwithtruth and the illustrator for the book I Love My Happy Mama - a children’s book with a focus on maternal mental health. Jamina is a passionate advocate for maternal mental health and has such a beautiful talent of normalizing the motherhood experience, especially the difficult moments, through her illustrations.
In this episode...
Jamina pulls back the curtain and shares what her experience with postpartum depression was like after she had her second child - I love how raw and unfiltered she is sharing this by the way, I think it really helps paint a realistic picture of what it’s like

She talks about her Instagram platform @mommingwithtruth and how it started as a healing practice for herself

We also talk about some of the risk factors and triggers that can lead to PPD - and I think this is really important to be aware of not only for ourselves as mamas but as friends of mama’s

And we talk about the book she illustrated I Love My Happy Mama - in case that name sounds familiar, I did an episode a few weeks back with the author Blake Nolan - that is also a great episode around PPD.

September 11, 2020 21. Motherhood in 700 sqft
In this week's personal share, Taylor talks about what it's been like coming home to their tiny home in San Francisco after 2 months in the midwest and why, despite quarantine and wildfires and living without AC during heat waves, she continues to choose their small space in San Francisco over a bigger home outside of the city.
It’s a topic that comes up all the time with family and friends...and of course, especially during COVID, Taylor's had to ask herself over and over...why stay?
