PPD/PPA Trigger warning

I am SO thankful for the last 2 years (!!) of being a part of the M/Body community. In the last year, I have struggled with postpartum anxiety & depression. Thanks to prayer, my in person community, therapy, and these amazing healing workouts and community, I am thankful to have made a ton of progress. But growth does not always happen in a straight line. This last weekend (day 2 of the challenge), we almost lost my one year old daughter - she choked and was unable to breathe for long enough that she had gone limp. We prayed, and thank God, she is alive and well. However, it has definitely set me back in my healing process. All this to say - I am SO thankful for this challenge and this healing space, as it truly is so helpful in my mental, emotional, physical and spiritual healing. And if you have struggled with PPD/PPA, you are not alone, and I have seen progress before & I know I will again, and you will too. Whatever life throws at us, I am grateful we are all here for each other. โ™ฅ๏ธ
