    Lexie Polzin | LIFE Can Be Chaotic

    On this episode, you’ll hear from Lexie Polzin. She shares  her very transparent story about her recent experience with postpartum depression after the birth of her third child. This episode mentions postpartum depression, as well as intrusive and suicidal thoughts. If hearing about these topics may be distressing to you, you may want to save this episode to listen to at a later date. Also, we don’t recommend this episode for little ears. This conversation was rich with real-life topics but also a message of hope. Lexie shares how she has let the Good Shepherd lead her through what felt like the valley of death, just like Psalm 23 says.  Recommended Resources from this episode: Get Out of Your Head Get Out of Your Head Study Guide The Bible Recap Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers This Isn't What I Expected: Overcoming Postpartum Depression Watershed CounselingBurt's Bees Hydrating Lip OilThanks for listening to this episode of The 5:17 LIFE Podcast.
