E21 - (S3E1) Welcome to Season 3: Stories of struggles, strength and connection

We're back with Season 3 - and this time, our guiding word is connection. In this heartfelt episode, we explore how connection ties into the themes of our previous seasons: showing up and being bold and authentic. We share our recent (and not-so-recent) experiences with mental health struggles, particularly around postpartum, loneliness, and identity.From stopping breastfeeding and hitting a low point, to finding unexpected support through Facebook mom groups, we talk about what it really means to feel seen, and how even small moments of shared understanding can make all the difference.May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and a perfect time to remember: you're not meant to do this alone.
