Important Notes
đ On having postpartum depression:
"Every new mom should know that it’s OK to feel overwhelmed, emotional, and in need of help. We all need to ask for help. It does NOT mean we are weak or any less of a mother. It takes a village to raise babies and just because you don’t ask for help doesn’t mean you’re a superhero. You’re human."
đ On the importance of being honest on reality TV:
"I always thought if I go on TV, I wanna be a voice for those who don't have a voice. I want to be a reality star to let people know that there are people out there who go through real things and are deserving of self-discovery and love and all of that. And to also show the world that there are real people out there who actually grow from our mistakes."
