From Depression to Determination

March 27, 2019

Today’s podcast is super vulnerable, but it is an important piece to my puzzle and it would be wrong of me to leave it out. You see, this is a place I don’t often like to visit, but I know that someone needs to hear this.

It wasn’t always like this. I fell into the darkest moments of my life after my second pregnancy. I was a child raising children. I was lost and holding on for dear life. I quit eating, sleeping and went through life in a boring routine.

Teaching was the light in my day that took my mind off of my depression. I found joy in a new lesson, a new book, and the time spent connecting with my students. Teaching was my escape.

Then, I discovered something huge. Something that would change it all for me. I found a website called Teachers Pay Teachers.

Join me today as I turn back time and show you how I moved from depression to determination.

In this episode you will learn:

About my journey of becoming a mom.
My struggle with postpartum depression.
How I found myself, got my life in order and went after my dream.

He was 75ish years old and a veterinarian from Saint Simons Island. He had dance moves like I’ve never seen.He spun me around in a circle, hugged me, and said - “I told my wife you had something special with your husband and I knew you understood music like we did. I knew I needed to dance with you.” I’d love to say this was a once in a lifetime moment, but it happens a lot. My husband, me, music, and some random stranger.I can’t really explain it in an IG picture, in a caption, or a post, but I just know that music connects us all.I say all of this to say ... explaining yourself to others isn’t a necessity in life. People won’t always “get” you. That’s okay. We aren’t born to make everyone happy. When you’re in the midst of “your people” you will know it. Soak it up. Dance it up. Enjoy it. Those moments are your reason for dancing ... everyone else can sit and watch.

I was not a high performer tonight. I didn’t want to do it. Who the heck wants to workout at 7:30 p.m.? Ya wanna know what else I didn’t want to do? Post the video of my mom belly for the world to see. 👉🏻 Swipe to see.But then, swipe again.👉🏻 Because what you see at first isn’t always what you see in the end. That mama belly?Giiiirl, I am so proud of that squishy belly that carried three healthy baby boys. I am so proud to feel strong even though I still have a moments of insecurity.
@brendonburchard was literally in my ear the entire time saying things like: “Be more intentional about who you want to become. Have a vision beyond your current circumstances. Imagine your best future self, and start acting like that person today.” If this is the beginning of your journey, don’t stop being a high performer. Your habits will be what carry you even when the beginning seems almost too hard to take.This is just the beginning and the best is yet to come.

You are doing a great job.It matters not how we are surviving and thriving but rather that we are happy and fulfilled while doing it.You know I like to keep it real, so here’s your daily reminder that you’re doing a good job. Even if how you do what you do isn’t favorable. Even if you don’t have what others have. Even if you feel like you could be more, do more, see more.You are doing a good job.I feed my kids in buggies at @walmart, I let them skip brushing their teeth sometimes, I barely ever make them do their homework, and they never match their socks.What matters most to me is that they are good people.Be a good person.
That’s all we need to really be in life to be doing a good job.Cheers to my Mama and Daddy that taught me that many years ago. What’s your favorite life lesson you’ve learned?
