#8 - Leigh Cox

In My Head

Had a great time sitting down with Leigh Cox to hear a little bit about her experiences and it was really fun cause we covered a lot of topics. She received her Master's in Psychology from Pepperdine University, then became a certified pilates instructor and became more experienced in mind/body work.

I really enjoyed this episode because it’s unique to any other one we’ve done so far. We did more of a free form conversation and whatever topics came up we entertained them and there’s definitely something for everyone here so I recommend hearing it out because we moved through many topics like: The relationship between physical and mental health, postpartum depression, medication, the different manifestations of mental illness, opening up about mental health and suicide, growing up in a religious culture that holds certain expectations for women and mothers, and being open minded to different world views.

I commend Leigh for being so open and honest about her story because I think it will help a lot of people. Her honesty about the messiness of parenting and especially parenting with mental illness for me is very honorable and i commend her for that cause it’s scary enough to feel that in your own head and a whole other level to open up about it.

Great things coming up for the month of July! This week we're recording 4 different episodes with a couple professionals and two personal stories so we’ll be releasing an episode every Sunday evening for the month of July and I’m really excited to learn from these great people.
