Send us Fan MailIn today’s episode, Chelsea is joined by fellow mama (of 8) and host of the Solidarity Sister Podcast, Kristin Wilson. The two dive deep into topics reflecting on Kristin’s early days of motherhood to how her background in education supported her as the at-home parent to the realities of mothering children at vastly different stages of life. During the conversation, Kristin opens up about how she unexpectedly struggled with severe postpartum depression and anxiety following the birth of her youngest and who played the most pivotal role in her seeking support. Missioned to support others with feeling more comfortable in offering and receiving support, Kristin shares how she’s using real life experiences to bridge the gap for all when talking about seasons of challenge.Disclaimer: This episode talks about maternal mental health conditions and thoughts of suicide.
