So: you’re not alone," she shared.

That was a hard time.”

I post those for myself, as a f*** yes for showing up."

“I used to feel so isolated & alone about my anxiety especially after Birdie was born.
Talking about these things helps.
At least I know it’s helped me.
And if it helps someone else to hear it in that moment, that’s great, too.
I’m proud to wear my anxiety around my neck for everyone to see.”
