**Warning: Heavy Content** Discussing PPD, depression, and anxiety, and the tragedy suicide is + the work we can do to love people who struggle (or don’t struggle) better. National Suicide Prevention Line: 1-800-273-8255 (or go online to chat if you’d rather not call)

The struggle with what to do on an impromptu date night is REAL.

Diving a little into what makes a bad day, and the stories we tell ourselves.

Welp, I said episode 4 in the podcast because I thought it was, in fact, episode 4 - Ha! Even though it’s episode 5, “should” is what we are chatting about. The shoulds can get us. And to battle them, we have to be mindful of them. Hope you enjoy this quick chat. Let me know your thoughts!

When we feel down, upset, angry, frustrated, etc. it doesn’t mean we are negative, angry, or ungrateful people. We are allowed to feel. And we can simultaneously feel. This episode is all about feeling and leaning in.

Coming at you with some of my experience with anxiety and mental health struggle. Ways I cope, ways I try to show up well for myself, and ALL. THE. GRACE. If you or someone you know is in a season of “tough stuff,” this episode is for you!

This episode is a bit of a part 2 introduction and a kick off to a series of questions I asked my friends/family/followers for. The question: How do I get rich ASAP (I wish to travel)? I don’t tell you how to get rich -ha! Instead, I wanted to unpack this question and have us all think a little deeper about what we’re working towards in life right now. Hope it helps you reflect some!

This initial episode is essential in getting us up and running within iTunes! I introduce myself and tell you a little bit about what you’ll hear on the Mama Monologues. Thanks for tuning in for this short episode. Hope to see you back soon!
