While life has taken us in different directions we have never grown apart. She shares how she built her photography business, New Mercies Photography, while navigating life's unexpected twists. She also opens up about the emotional road that led to her miracle pregnancy. We reflect on hope, faith, resilience and what this long awaited season means to her. This episode is a reminder that the deepest friendships don't require constant proximity- just unwavering love.

19- One Year Postpartum Special

Welcome to a special Sunday edition of HTH! This week I'm celebrating one whole year postpartum, and it's been a ride the last 12 months. I'm reflecting on the highs, the hard moments, the milestones, and the ways to navigate feeling like yourself again. I yap about postpartum hair loss (and the regrowth that seems to have a mind of its own) the emotions and anxiety, and what life looks like balancing being a mom of 3, work, and finding pieces of myself along the way. I also talk about my baby's first birthday plans because how did we get here?! Whether you're freshly postpartum, approaching your baby's first birthday, or simply looking for someone to remind you that you're not alone in this season, I hope this episode feels like a conversation with a friend.
