023: Welcome back to the podcast! This week, I am happy to have Christina Leitner on the show with me. She’s a mom to two, hosts a YouTube channel and major advocate for mental health! 

Christina is a few years into her journey as a special needs mom. She does have an actual diagnosis for her daughter, although it is rare. She explains how she tries hard not to dwell on what should have been but is looking forward to the future with her children. 

Quickly into our conversation, Christina shares a little about her mental health and how happy she is currently.  She says she had postpartum after second child, before her first was even diagnosed.  This really affected her mental health. She has implemented therapy and medication and will shout to the world how beneficial this has been. 

Christina is a stay at home mom. She tells me about her YouTube channel and how’s it’s been a great outlet for her. She uses her channel to make videos that share awareness and insights into what she wishes she had known. 

We also touch on sibling relationships and our fears for our children’s futures. 

Above all, Christina takes a huge stand about advocating for ones mental health. She tells anyone to reach out if they need to talk to someone, she’d love to help!
