My own invisible battle.
This has been on my heart for a while now, and it will give you some context for the work that I do with mums, my experiences and hardships with mental health from my own motherhood journey.
In this episode I share a very personal, raw and vulnerable letter that I wrote in November 2018 and emailed to a group of Mums around the same stage of motherhood I was.
At the time of writing this letter I was finding my feet again after burnout, postnatal anxiety, and probably postnatal depression, though I didn't have a handle on those terms at the time. I wrote it because I wanted other mums to know that I wasn't always the 'supermum' they thought I was (a smile can cover up a lot!) and that they weren’t alone if they had felt the same way I did.
I also chat about:
I know that this letter will resonate with so many mums out there who are going through their own invisible struggle too. I want you to know that you’re never alone!
