Recording this episode was ROUGH but so incredibly healing at the same time. Many people in my life don’t know what went down behind the scenes for me in the last few years. We often only see the beautiful portraits of motherhood. But giving birth three years ago launched me into one of the darkest moments of my life. Have you ever reached a point in your life where it looks like you’re living the dream to the outside world, but on the inside, you’re drowning?
I hope this episode makes you feel less alone. Wherever you’re at. One in nine postpartum women experience symptoms of depression. It’s important to me to speak candidly about my experience going through these symptoms while continuing to show up behind the chair and build my own studio. When I finally achieved everything I had ever dreamed of, I felt worse than ever before. I love my daughter and I love my past clients. But this is the story of how I faced failure and had to pivot to find the happiest, most beautiful version of my life I could.
