This Hive Howls
As a young mom of 2 wading her way through the picture-perfectly-curated-lives of moms on the internet, Julie is tired of feeling lost and alone as she struggles with her mental-health while being a new parent. Hi, I'm Julie, mom, teacher, interior designer, and author of the blog This Hive. This podcast - This Hive Howls - is paying homage to the moms, dads, and parents of the world who feel like they don't have a voice or a space to complain about the daily hardships of parenthood! So HOWL along with me, as I share my experiences as a parent who is growing and breaking generational curses, as well as re-parenting myself through therapy so I can be the best mom I can for my kids!
This Hive Howls
A Mental Health Regression
As I jump back into recording this week, I'm talking about why I've been away for such a long time, and why my mental health has taken a beating. It is so important to talk about how we struggle, even if that is with one trusted friend. The silence of mental health is what makes it fatal and so this week I am sharing my regression in the hopes that someone out there feels safe enough to break their silence.
So many things have happened in my life in the past month that have been pretty traumatic, and so my body was begging me for a time of rest; now I am in my time of recovery.
Please reach out to someone if you are feeling alone. There are a few hotlines listed if you find yourself struggling with no one to talk to.
