with The Always Busy Mama, Becky Imbimbo
Motherhood changes everything. The joy, the exhaustion, the guilt, the wonder — it’s all tangled together. And for many of us, that transformation includes moments that are harder than we ever expected.
I recently joined my old college friend Athena on her podcast to talk about something deeply personal: postpartum depression, healing, and how The Always Busy Mama jewelry brand was born out of those ashes.
The episode — “Finding the Beauty Among the Postpartum Ashes, with The Always Busy Mama, Becky Imbimbo” — is a raw, honest conversation between two women who’ve walked through the hard parts of motherhood and found light on the other side.
What We Talk About
In this episode, Athena and I open up about:
- The realities of postpartum depression and identity loss after becoming a mom
- How creativity (and jewelry making) helped me heal and reconnect with myself
- The balance between motherhood, marriage, work, and rediscovering joy
- How both of us are learning to give ourselves grace in the messy middle
It’s not a polished story — it’s a real one. And I think so many moms will see themselves in it.
Why This Conversation Matters
So often, we hear about motherhood’s beauty but not the burnout. The strength but not the struggle. I hope this episode reminds every mom that you’re not alone and that even in your hardest seasons, there’s beauty waiting to be uncovered.
For me, that beauty took the shape of gemstones, wire, and meaning — the foundation of The Always Busy Mama. For Athena, it’s storytelling and connection. For you, it might be something else entirely — and that’s the point.
