Twins and Coffee Friday Chat
Well, the time is here again. And I can’t lie, I can’t remember the days of the week anymore. If I wasn’t writing them down on my daily to-do sheets, I’d be a goner, lol!
But I’ve been reminded that today is Thursday (I write these posts on Thursdays so I can publish on Friday) and I feel like this week has literally flown by.
Might be because it’s been a fairly great week. Nothing monumental, like Kendall climbing the cat tree last week, happened. At least so far. It is only noon on Thursday as I write this!
If you’ve been following along on social media, however, you’ve probably noticed I’ve been real heavy with the Maternal Mental Health content this week. This is a topic so very near to my heart, and I am so happy that I am able to open my heart and share my experiences with you all.
I’ve always made it my mission to use my platform I’ve built to spread awareness around the things near to me, like mental health and body positivity. It feels so surreal at times that I, my little self, am able to use my voice to make a difference in other’s lives. That my stories help other moms who are in the same situations I’ve been in, come out, and thrive.
I cannot begin to express what an amazing feeling it is when I receive your messages that you finally made a therapy appointment, decided to get help, and spoke up for yourself.
To me, it is so worth it to share such vulnerable stories. If I can help one other mama who is in the same situation, my job is done.
I’ve included a few of my favorite #MMHWeek2020 posts in this Friday Chat and I hope they impact you like they have myself.
