In this episode, we get to meet Erika Menning, part-time, hair stylist, full-time mom and natural comedian. This conversation covers so many things, from unexpected body image comments during pregnancy and postpartum depression and anxiety to preeclampsia and the significance of post-birth giving rewards, like Italian subs. We talk about mom guilt, how to regroup and repair after you've unraveled for the thousandth time, and just how important it is to be genuine with those around you. Erika is just a naturally hilarious and delightful person which makes this one a real treat.
Show Notes:
