Alec & Elle
Trigger Warning- Mental Health and Discussion of Triggers.
Shortly after Kyllie was born, I was diagnosed with postpartum depression along with OCD, anxiety and PTSD. What was supposed to be one of the happiest moments in my life turned out to be a nightmare.
I struggled for years. This is the short version of my story and I hope that it helps new mothers and their support system better understand this awful, but very common postpartum complication.
We want moms to know that you are not alone and you are loved; it does get better.
Today we talk about what it was like for us to become a blended family. It wasn't at all what we expected. Listen to today's episode to find out what our journey was like and how you can prepare for yours.
Summer of 2020 we went from being two families to a blended family of four. We were both nervous, but for different reasons. I feared that Brooke wouldn’t like me and would reject me. I feared her mom would hate me. I feared I was about to become a mom to a tween overnight with no experience. As per usual, I thought this could only go one of two ways: perfect or horrible. In my mind, I did not allow myself to even consider that maybe, just maybe the truth was somewhere in between.
It wasn’t long into our marriage that I got pregnant with baby Owen and very quickly I went from being a mom of one to a mom of THREE!
Listen to this episode to hear more about how Alec and I blended our families. We will share what we did wrong, what we did right and what we recommend.
