We need to talk about depression and anxiety, whether it's postpartum or chronic. On this final episode in the Strong Mom Series, Scott and I are sharing our own personal struggles with mental illness. And boy, do we get vulnerable! We're sharing the true ugliness of how it manifests within us...from baby-shaking to 7 hour-long panic attacks. 

Also, on this episode I'm talking with Sara Sery, who has a Master's degree in counseling and leads the clients in her coaching program through transforming their motherhood into one of joy and growth. Sara and I chat about: 

• Symptoms of depression and anxiety
• The Christian stigma swirling around mental illnesses
• Practical solutions for moms in the heat of the moment
• Why medication can be a valuable, shame-free option. 

This is a must-listen if you think you might suffer from depression or anxiety, or you know someone who does and you want to know what it looks like on the inside.
