The title for this quick snippet of an episode might be super telling. However, these last nine months of podcasting have led to such encouraging and eye-opening experiences. While this isn’t the end, I do want to take some space to regroup and figure out how to bring my best to all you great listeners who have supported me and brought forth your own mental health stories in such an inspiring way. Please continue to submit story ideas and show suggestions to the Because Life Instagram and I look forward to coming back with something great to share in the very near future.

On today’s episode, I wanted to look back on my fears and anxieties ahead of giving birth to baby Daxon at the end of last year. I’m turning another page in my diary to speak to you guys on things I learned from the process of giving birth and recommendations based on the experience I went through (say yes to the doula!) I also give an update on where I’m at in my postpartum journey and my mindset of trying to find the familiar in these moments of great change. I’m forever grateful for those of you who have been with me through this and have sent me messages of encouragement and stories of your own post-birth journeys. Also, tune in to listen to Daxon take on the role of special guest throughout the episode.

On today’s episode, I’m joined by my good friend and fellow Elon alum, Miles Williams, an educator and self-proclaimed mental health warrior. We catch up with  “America’s Covid Bae” (which I’m trademarking on his behalf) following his experience on the 11th season of Lifetime’s Married at First Sight. Miles shares how he’s faced his mental health journey throughout different moments in the last decade and we share different tips on how to find self-care practices that work best for you.
