Today I’m the featured blogger over at the Mommy-Muse website.
Later today at 3:00pm EST, you’ll get an entire hour of me on the radio with her. I’ll be discussing my journey as well as sharing some general information and tips! (There’s information on how to listen at the above link!)
As if that’s not enough, Christy (Mommy-Muse), has agreed to allow me to share her journey with her. Look for her interview to post here on Thursday!
There was ONE taker last time for this interview (Thanks Heather!)
So c’mon – just five questions. You never know who you might help by sharing your story with the rest of us because even though they’re similar, each one has their own unique nuances and experiences that may just reach out and inspire a Mom or someone close to a Mom to get help for her!
1) What is your personal experience with PPD? Are you a survivor, partner, parent, medical professional?
2) Has your experience with PPD changed your life? If so, how?
3) What are some of your favorite PPD resources?
4) What role, if any, did your faith play in recovery or in your treatment views of PPD?
5) And last but not least – If you could pass on one piece of advice to an expecting mother, what would it be and why?
I know, I know.
where’s the interview?
Well, I am insanely busy this week preparing for that Maternity & Baby Fair Presentation.
And to add to the insanity, our internet connection was dead all day yesterday, forcing me to be tech free all day. We didn’t get internet connection back until just as I was going to bed. I did manage to get my presentation flyer finished but still have quite a bit to do between now and Saturday morning.
So Sharing the Journey the interview feature is on hiatus until next week when we’ll feature an interview with another father who’s been on the frontlines of the PPD Battle and survived! (And hopefully we’ll hear from his wife the following week!)
So take care and I will be back to posting regularly soon!
Warmest,
Lauren
Sue McRoberts, author of The Lifter of my Head, emailed me last week requesting an interview. I excitedly agreed and then immediately came down with a nasty spring/summer cold. Ugh. Finally recovered enough to think straight, I completed the interview today and wow – she’s got it up already!
Sue has meant a lot to me and the way she entered my life seemed to be random at the time but with everything that has happened in the past few months, I have no doubt that God placed her in my life to allow me to witness how comfortable it feels to be open and honest about my faith in relation to my PPD experience, something I had been struggling with since first starting my journey in helping others. God has truly allowed Sue to be a shining example of how a strong Christian woman can be herself and not be at all afraid of what others think. So a tremendous thank you to God for placing her in my life and a tremendous thank you to Sue for allowing Him to work in yours.
