@missporsha

Everyone give a very warm welcome to Porsha! How are you feeling today mama?

 I’m feeling pretty well.

How many children do you have? 

I have 2 girls ages 4 & 6.

How old were you when you had your first child?

I was 24.

Do you remember your initial reaction when you found out you were pregnant?

I was shook ha. We had been trying for a while but it still felt unexpected in a good way.

What first comes to mind when you think of mental health?

A person who feels all the feels.

Do you suffer from any mental illnesses yourself? 

A few months back I was having a really hard time in my personal life. My mental health was declining and nobody seem to notice because I always kept a smile on my face. I’m happy to report 4 months later & I am in a way better head space now. 

How was your mental health before you became a mama? How has motherhood changed or improved your mental health?

My mental health before becoming a mom was non existent I feel. I was so yeah I’m just doing my thing living my best life, no worries.

Do you practice self-care? 

I do I take time for myself at least once a week to get out the house & go shopping or read a book, I am currently teaching myself Spanish. Anything I can do to take time for me & me only is my self care.
