My Battles With Post Partum Depression, Anxiety, And Imposter Syndrome, And A Will To Create || Kim

Giants Amongst Us

Real stories, told by real people.

As always, it's nice to be back. Hope this finds you in good spirits. We've another story to share, and today Kim joins us, and she's got a story to tell.

As a child, and through her early school years, Kim and her family moved around a bit. Her father would pick up different job opportunities. So that meant, having to adjust with living in different states, and changing schools. Being Asian American, Kim dealt with racism growing up, being picked on and bullied. She shares how that affected her then, and later on as an adult.

Kim also opens up and talks with us about her experience with the birth of her two children. And the post partum depression that followed. In 2020, Kim gave birth to her second child. And it was during the covid lockdowns, and the uncertainty of the times, that her daughter for seven months suffered from reflux issues. Worried about her daughters health, the state of the world, business affairs. It was overwhelming. Kim talks about the pressure, depression and anxiety she was dealing with, that set her on a downward spiral.

In her darkest time, Kim reached out for help. Wanting to provide a loving and supportive environment for her children. And that meant, working on herself. She sought therapy, and that's been a big part of her recovery. Along with her faith in God, and a supportive husband at her side. Kim's in a much better place, and has been able to grow and establish her own photography business, based out in San Diego, California. And even though the anxieties of not performing her best for clients, and the doubts from imposter syndrome. Kim pushes pass those fears, each and every time. Another GIANT AMONGST US.

Til next time

and very soon,

PEACE!!
