138 | When Life Is “Life-ing”: A Mental Health & Motherhood Update
In today’s episode, I’m pulling you in close for a cozy couch chat — a little life update, a little peek behind the curtain, and a lot of honesty.
The truth? The transition to four kids hasn’t been as “easy breezy” as I hoped it would be. I’ve been navigating postpartum life, mental health struggles, sleepless nights, and the humbling reality that I can’t do it all — even though sometimes my pride wishes I could.
In this episode, I’m sharing:
- What the last few months have really looked like behind the scenes
- How my mental health quietly took a hit
- The pressure to be the “effortless mom” — and why I’m letting that go
- What God is teaching me about presence in this season
- Why I’m choosing to stop counting down milestones and start soaking up the now
If you’ve ever found yourself wishing away a season… If you’ve felt like you’re barely keeping your head above water… If you’re in a rhythm-reset moment…
You’re not alone.
This is your reminder that you don’t need to be perfect — just present.
Refill your coffee. Fold the laundry. Take a walk. Let’s sit side by side for a bit.
