    07: Seeking Help is Strength: My Mental Health Journey as a New Mom
    2024/05/27
    May is Mental Health Month, so for today's episode, I want to share some more insights into my mental health as a new mom. I have already given you a glimpse into my overall story in episode 1, but this week, let's talk about depression, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and struggling with feeling alone in motherhood. The reality is that many of us experience postpartum depression and other mental health obstacles, especially as new moms, and it can be really isolating and challenging to overcome. I hope that by sharing my story and how I found hope and light in the darkness, others can feel less alone. If you are or someone you know is struggling, help is available to you. You are not alone. Dial 988 to reach the national suicide and crisis lifeline. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Please know you can also reach out to me directly: whitney@madlywish.com. If my story resonates with you or if you have any of your own stories or questions you'd like to share, please connect with me.

    My guest today is Mindy Kendle: military wife, mom of two, and the owner of Bash Boutique. In this episode, Mindy shares how she learned to find joy even during moments of grief and loss, and why confetti is so much more than glitter. Mindy's mother recently became a widow, and struggled with the layered impacts of grief. Mindy found herself becoming a caretaker in several different ways, and that impacts not only how she cares for her children, but also what it looks like to experience the role reversal of parenting your parent.

    Welcome to {MOM}ents
    2024/04/08
    Welcome to {MOM}ents with Madly Wish by Whitney Surane: a show about women and moms and the stories of your journey to motherhood. You will feel seen and heard by moms just like you. Bio moms, stepmoms, pet moms, foster moms, and even from women who decided that motherhood, in the traditional sense, wasn't for them. And what you'll love about these stories is that our experiences aren't that different. We all start from the same place: at the beginning. My guests share stories they may never have told before. And always, on {MOM}ents with Madly Wish, the support you'll feel from knowing you're not alone will give you strength to continue on your journey.
