I'm walking in solidarity this October. After spending a good chunk of the last 10 years in and out of dark places I finally feel I'm free. I want to be a part of something that helps people find their peace.

I have decided to join One Foot Forward to help raise awareness about post natal anxiety & depression. I have personally experienced and still experiencing this after having my son. So I want to walk for all the other beautiful Mothers out there that are going through any degree of mental struggle, because it is very real and not spoken about openly/or frequently. I hope that it sparks conversations along the way which will help others to open up. If feels lonely but you are not alone, and you are stronger than you think.
