Melissa: An overwhelming, exciting, wonderful first year with twins | Episode 1

In this episode I’m talking with Melissa about her first year as a young mother of twins. Melissa was so generous in sharing her story and some of the challenges she faced in that first year - including managing extreme sleep deprivation and issues with her own health that increased her anxiety postpartum. She also shares some great insight on the importance of community and keeping your marriage or partnership strong through what she called “one of the hardest years” of her life.
