I’ve Been Wanting to Share This With You…

Leave a review! If you've ever felt like you were drowning in the dumps after your baby arrived, even though you feel like you "should" be happy, or your faith "should" be enough to pull yourself out ... this one's for you. I saw a gaping hole in Christian circles around the topic of Postpartum Depression, and sought out Mary Reames Rinehart of Lucera Health to bring more light to the topic. Mary drops some truth bombs with practical faith-based tips to support Christian moms who are in the thick of something way deeper than the "baby blues". Because we don't have to suffer in silence just because we know that God loves us, and sometimes giving (what feels like defeat) a name helps us take one step closer to taming it. So, grab a pen and paper and hit play for this LAST episode of the Strong After Birth Podcast. And, if you haven't already, hit SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel. I pray this blesses you!In His Strength, Laura Lindahl

Leave a review! Sometimes the bravest thing we can do as women is make a change, am I right? After an 8-week sabbatical (aka: me asking, “Lord, do I really need to be everywhere online at once?”), I realized it was time to make a pivot. So, I'm closing down this podcast, leaning into what’s life-giving, and stepping into a new season on YouTube. In this episode, I’m sharing the process God walked me through and how you can use it to prayerfully discern your own next steps (without needing your own 8-week identity crisis). 😉Next Steps: Subscribe to Strong After Birth on YouTubeI pray this blesses you!In His Strength, Laura Lindahl
