In this episode of Delivered, we are joined by Becky Imbimbo, who attended college with Athena at EMU, Go Eagles! Becky joins this week's episode to explore how even the darkest seasons—like Postpartum Depression—can give rise to unexpected beauty and growth. Becky built her brand, The Always Busy Mama, during her Postpartum struggle and today it has spanned into a full custom jewelry business and a newly furnished consulting business as well! In this episode, they reflect on how struggle can become a catalyst for strength, connection, and purpose. This conversation is a reminder that even in life's most challenging moments, something profoundly good can emerge. If you're walking through a difficult season yourself, this episode offers a gentle reminder that healing and hope are still possible—and that beauty can be found among the ashes.
