    004: Ashlee Raekes: Postpartum Psychosis, Motherhood, and Finding Purpose Again

    In this deeply honest and emotional episode, Ashlee shares her story of having two babies back to back — and the unexpected turn her postpartum journey took after her second was born. What first looked like normal exhaustion and overwhelm quickly became something far more serious. Ashlee opens up about experiencing postpartum psychosis, the fear and confusion that followed, and the reality of entering a treatment facility to fight her way back to herself. This is a conversation about mental health, motherhood, and the kind of grit you don't know you have until you're forced to find it. It's raw. It's vulnerable. And it shines light on a condition that is rarely talked about but incredibly important to understand. Whether you've faced postpartum challenges or have walked through a different kind of storm, Ashlee's story is one of resilience, hope, and the strength it takes to keep going when everything feels like it's unraveling.

    032: Shelbe Ward: Single foster momma who started fostering at just 22 years old

    In this episode, I have a conversation with my friend Shelbe Ward. Shelbe is a single foster mom who is also a full time teacher. If you have ever considered foster care, but think it's not doable because you're single, then this is the episode for you! Shelbe has had 23 placements since her foster care journey began. When she started fostering kiddos, she was fresh out of college and just 22 years old. She tells some very vivid and graphic details of the reality of some of these kids' lives, as well as her perspective and heart through all the ups and downs. I'll be honest, I cried during our conversation and I cried again listening to it. So you miiiight want to grab your tissues! As always, feel free to share on social media and tag me!   Enjoy!!
