Life is hard, and I don’t pretend it’s easy. Living with mental illness is even harder, and I share my experience so that others might understand they are not alone.
My writing can be found Scary Mommy, The Huffington Post, Huffington Post -Canada / Russia / Germany / France, Today Parents, Blunt Moms, and many others websites and publications.
In 2013, I battled a severe bout of postpartum depression, anxiety, and agoraphobia; which made it impossible for me to remain connected with the outside world of support. So, I started writing, and I haven’t stopped since.
I enjoy public speaking, writing (obviously), and knitting funky scarves for my friends.
