Beat the Baby Blues: When Postpartum Depression Hits Home

You can read my latest feature over at Faith & Family LIVE: Beat the Baby Blues. Comments are open over there.

I’ll also be tackling the topic of postpartum depression on today’s Faith & Family podcast. We’d love to hear from you if you’ve struggled with PPD or if something else is on your mind. You can call and send a message on the listener feedback line at 1-413- FAITH-55 (or 1-413-324-8455).

I’m a wife, mom of five kids, writer, speaker, storyteller, bibliophile, runner, eating disorder survivor, and perfectionist in recovery. I'm the author of Getting Past Perfect: Finding Joy & Grace in the Messiness of Motherhood and Weightless: Making Peace With Your Body.

I’ve tried a lot of things in my life – anorexia, bulimia, law school, teaching aerobics, extended breastfeeding, vegetarianism, trying to be perfect and failing miserably at it – and through it all I’ve been writing. And learning to embrace the messiness of life instead of covering it up, making excuses for it, or being ashamed of my brokenness or my home’s sticky counters.

Nowadays I’m striving every single, imperfect day to strike a balance between keeping it real and keeping it joyful.
