On this week's episode, I sit down with special guest Mackinzi Bradshaw to discuss the challenges of being a first-time, stay-at-home mom vs. being in corporate America. As females, we feel pressure daily to fit inside the box that society tells us we should fit within. These pressures look different because of the different paths we are on, but the heart of overcoming them is the same. We also talk about how we maintain our strong friendship through intentionality, vulnerability, and authenticity even though we are on very different paths in life.
The CDC reports that 1 in 10 women in the United States have experienced an episode of major depression in the past year. When focusing on postpartum depression, that number can reach as high as 1 in 5, depending on the state. That is why we, as women, should stand together and support one another through life's challenges. Whether that's having a new baby, starting a new career, or simply trying to figure out who you are in the world as a woman - we need each other, now more than ever.
Let's make lemonade!
