Bipolar + PTSD: Finding Hope + Healing as a Mom with Mental Illness with Amelia Zachry

She was told not to become a mother; that her mental illness would render her insufficient, and she said, "I will do whatever it takes to be a mom.  A GOOD mom."  How inspiring is that?!Amelia Zachry just published her debut memoir, Enough: A Memoir of Mistakes, Mania, and Motherhood. She might be one of the wisest moms I've interviewed. Without getting into her past, Amelia shared an up close and personal look at the journey of healing she’s undergone to meet her own needs without shame or guilt or fear so that she can not only meet her kids’ needs but listen to them, learn from them and ENJOY motherhood.At the end of the episode she speaks with so much heart to other mothers struggling with mental illness, and if that’s you - promise me you’ll stick around to hear it.  You won’t look at some things the same way again after hearing her.IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVERED...The healing that made motherhood possible for AmeliaHow she moved from comparison to intuitionA key mindset shift to embrace getting over your fear of imposing on others and asking for helpDON'T MISS-Amelia's definition of AuthenticityHer call to give yourself grace, mental illness or not// CONNECT WITH AMELIA ZACHRY//AmeliaZachry.comBook: Enough: A Memoir of Mistakes, Mania, and MotherhoodIG: @browngirlcrazyworldI believe in you & I'm cheering you on.Come say hi!  I'm @parent_wholeheartedly on Insta.Support the Show.*FREE* MASTERCLASS: Learn how to CONFIDENTLY parent your strong-willed child WITHOUT threats, bribes or giving in altogether so you can BREAK FREE of power struggles + guilt www.parentingwholeheartedly.com/unapologeticwww.parentingwholeheartedly.com
