Laura’s honest check in about mental health & comparison

And as I was talking to her, I really also then felt a lot of sympathy for her because I also think for women that have gone through – because for us, I mean, obviously, I have so much gratitude that we didn't go through infertility and have that list.

KICPod
Laura’s honest check in about mental health & comparison

Oh, but it's a whole other level, right?

KICPod
Laura’s honest check in about mental health & comparison

I think there's – I also just wanted to shout out to anyone listening that did go through infertility, has just had their baby.

KICPod
Laura’s honest check in about mental health & comparison

Yes, and is feeling very guilty about feeling anxious or struggling, that that is also okay and it doesn't mean you don't love your baby and it doesn't mean that it's not the best thing that's ever happened to you.

It also doesn't have to be the best thing that's ever happened to you.

KICPod

But also at the same time, like while at the moment has been hard, I think what I'm very grateful for is I, my, I can, and I think it's because I have worked through my anxiety previously and the way I like to, or for me, what really helps in working through anything I'm dealing with is separating it from myself.

KICPod

So my anxiety, I've always like identified as like this little, like at the moment I'm thinking about it like a fly.

KICPod
Laura’s honest check in about mental health & comparison

It's like a cartoon fly with big eyes.

KICPod
Laura’s honest check in about mental health & comparison
