This episode we discuss the first year after Bella was born and how it had an impact on mother Brigi. We talk about post natal depression and how therapy and medication took a role in helping her get through this tricky time. It was a blurry year, but together we put back the pieces.
Couch Chronicles is a relatively new concept for my channel. 10 episodes in which my beautiful partner and I discuss many different topics. From raising our daughter, to our individual struggles in life, to navigating each others neurotic ways. 😉 We are looking for suggestions also so let us know! Generally we are very open and prepared to discuss most topics of conversation.
