It's #TakeoverTuesday ! She warms up a room wherever she goes and gives her all in whatever she sets her sight on. Her family is everything and her passion for writing is inspiring. This is Cathy.

Cathy Jackson fell in love with the written word when she volunteered as a student journalist and then Managing Editor for Y-Press Childrens News Bureau during high school. Publishing in the IndyStar was also beyond cool for a 14 year old.

Post-grad school, writing compelling project stories was how she recruited a volunteer base of over ten thousand volunteers per year for a large nonprofit organization. Writing is how she processes her day to day and makes sense of the world and experiences, both high and low.

Cathy and Josh will celebrate their 5th anniversary this year and are parents to Blake (3).

Cathy also enjoys floral arranging, making balloon arches and staycations as well as travel anytime, anywhere.

“I recently gave birth to our second daughter.

“I recently gave birth to our second daughter.

Along with the excitement of a new baby, I was equally excited to feel like me again—excited to lose the baby weight, to wear non-maternity clothes, regain my energy, drink wine with friends, belly sleep, etc.

But somewhere between giving birth and bringing our baby home, that excitement faded.

Feelings of sadness and ambivalence have replaced it.

I’m struggling to get excited about anything right now.

I’m smiling, but I’m not very happy.
I’m going through the motions, but I'm not fully present.

It’s a roller coaster of emotions.
And worst of all—I do not know why this is happening.

What I do know is that I’m exhausted.
I know that my breasts are engorged with milk. And despite all the feedings and pumping sessions, they leak constantly.

I know that none of my clothes fit me. I spend my days in sweat pants and nursing bras. I only look in the mirror when it is necessary. And when I do—I hardly recognize the woman staring back at me.

She is tired and more tamed. She doesn’t laugh as loud or feel beautiful as she once did.

She is changed.

I wish I could wrap this up in a nice bow and tell you all about how I defeated my postpartum depression.

But I am still in the thick of it.

My saving grace is that I know I am not alone. According to the CDC, 1 in 5 American mothers experience symptoms of postpartum depression per year.

For my fellow mothers who are in the thick of it—I see you.

You are not alone.

You are not a bad mother.

You (and I) will get through it.”
