About

I started this blog because God told me to. I was a career-driven yuppie when I became a mom. And then I became a mom and I had no idea how I was supposed to ‘have it all’. There was no way I could compete in the world of Instagram-able mom-moments and also be a super-successful career woman. I still don’t know how that is supposed to happen.

My hope is that this blog will help other working moms out there – those women who were raised to believe we could have it all. I know I am not the only woman who wants to have an awesome career and be an awesome mom, I just don’t know exactly how that is all supposed to fit together.

I was diagnosed with postpartum depression about 10 weeks after I gave birth. Which means I had postpartum depression for much longer and was trying to power through…because that’s what always worked for me in my career when things got tough. In this blog I intend to share resources as I find them, as well as things that I found that helped me through my journey of PPD (note – if you are feeling sad, please let your doctor know, or call this free mom’s line: 1-866-364-6667 to talk to a licensed therapist. It’s much better to have someone confirm your ppd and then help you, than try to power through. If nothing else, your doctor or the therapist can tell you if what you’re experiencing is within the range of normal.

First thing that would have helped me had I seen it earlier….something that clearly distinguished between the baby blues and postpartum depression:

If you are also a career-driven mom who is navigating this journey, please let me know in the comments! What has helped you? What have you struggled with?

Hang in there Mommas, together we will figure this out. 🙂
