| 0:00.0 | Hi, friends, and welcome to another episode of your Bish Therapist podcast. And today, I am so excited and |
| 0:07.1 | honor to have my friend Kristen Gardner, you know her, as Driving Mom Crazy on Instagram. I'm so |
| 0:14.0 | excited to have Kristen back. Hi, Kristen. Thank you so much for being here. Hi, I'm excited to be here. |
| 0:19.8 | Yes, for those who don't know, Kristen, you |
| 0:21.9 | were on the show a while back. We talked a lot about mental health and can you explain to folks |
| 0:28.4 | a little bit who maybe don't remember that episode? You are such an advocate for mental health, |
| 0:34.4 | especially postpartum and perinatal mental health. Can you give people a little |
| 0:38.7 | bio of how did you get started in all of this? Well, I'll try. Basically, I started my blog a long time |
| 0:46.9 | ago talking about lots of things with child safety and car seats. And then I kind of also touched |

| 1:18.0 | It's been like 17 years now. |
| 1:19.7 | I can't believe it since I first had my first baby. |
| 1:22.7 | But yeah, I love sharing motherhood stories, memes, just trying to get through this experience, get through |
| 1:29.9 | life with a little bit of humor along with discussing the real stuff, the hard stuff, because |
| 1:34.9 | that's really what we need to help each other through this. Yes, I fully agree. And that's one of |
| 1:40.3 | the reasons that I really adore you and I gravitate towards you because you're someone who uses your experience, strength, and hope to help other people. And those are my kind of people. |
| 1:49.3 | And you do it for the love of the game because you want other people to have better resources than |
| 1:55.7 | you had and to help other people. And so I'm really grateful you're here today because we are going to talk |
