Diary of A Postpartum Mama

This episode is all about issues I’ve had and that’s I am remedying with my baby boy. Hope this helps! *Ingredient mentioned as it relates to eczema:

“I don’t know how to need a man. I know how to live without a man. I know how to fight a man. I know how to disdain a man. I know how to ignore a man. I know how to have want a man. I know how to fear and dodge sexual advances from a man. But what I don’t know is how to need one, because I’ve never needed one in my entire life. In our house, my mama did everything.”-Me In this episode of my podcast, I’ll be sharing how fatherlessness informs my inability to be vulnerable with my husband and how it has limited my expectation and acceptance of his help. While I feel crazy as I come to this realization, I know I’m not alone; and while I’m not 100% sure how to deliver this message and maintain the 1st Commandment with promise, I know I have to do it because the stress and anxiety tied to this epidemic is killing us and our marriages.

This is the Thanksgiving episode of this Podcast. It’s late because, well, motherhood. Why are y’all thankful for?

I recently posted a tweet on Instagram that said, “Black women don’t often recognized that they’re struggling with depression or anxiety. Instead they think their failing.” I this episode my husband joins me as I share how I thought I was failing when I was, in fact struggling with anxiety.

I’m having trouble connecting with my baby. Today may have been a breakthrough though. Does this make sense or am I tripping? Listen to this and tell me I’m not alone.

In this episode I share my personal battles with racism-induced anxiety and depression in this postpartum period.
