We chat with therapist and social worker, Jill Thomas from season 1, about how to know if you're struggling with depression and a few simple things you can do if you are dealing with depression. Or maybe you want to find out if a friend of yours is depressed and what you can do for them. It's not uncommon, and you're not alone.

This is LaToya's imperfect and developing self-care journey.

Things to consider if you're thinking you might want to have another baby. You know we like to keep it real!
