Jamie has been very open about struggles with mental health, and how post-Partum depression affected the last few years after having her son Hendrix in 2020. Jamie reflected on how much pressure she was under, always being in survival mode and, and how often she said YES to every job that came her way. She discussed the toll it took on her health, her marriage, and overall well being. Jamie shares some recent breakthroughs that came up that helped her through that time, and how she feels now.
