I AM THAT!

In my journey of self-discovery and self-love, I have awakened a part of me that has desired to utilize life lessons to facilitate my emotional, mental and spiritual growth while experiencing an increase desire to share and love more than ever before. I started my blogging journey almost a year ago with my first blog site titled Cars, Trains and Chaos, with the vision of it being a collection of anecdotal experiences of a working mother blending a career, family life and everything else in between that might add to the “chaos”.  In the process of sharing my experience and being faced with some tough life lessons, the Universe placed me on the path of uncovering my own struggles with postpartum depression and anxiety.

This path of realization led me on a path of healing and an even deeper desire to help other women struggling in their postpartum journey. As a New York State Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, practicing in the South Bronx for many years, I came in contact with women from different backgrounds, that discovered that at some point in their life that they too struggled with a perinatal mood and/or anxiety disorder. But, due to a lack of education and awareness they did not receive adequate treatment and struggled emotionally for many years.

My vision for this blog site, The Woman | The Mother, La Mujer | La Madre, is to continue sharing some of my personal experiences with a greater emphasis on spreading awareness on Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders to decrease the stigma on Maternal Mental Health. As well as discuss the importance of the mother, at any stage of her life, continuing to nurture and care for The Woman.

I want to thank you for taking the time to read my words and for stopping by! I hope you to see you again and that my work can help you in whatever part of your journey you are on!

With Gratitude,
Christy R.
