In this episode, Sarah talks with celebrity stylist and influencer, Ali Levine.

Ali really opens up about her struggles with postpartum depression and provides excellent advice any mom can implement to help overcome what can be a very difficult period of time.

She talks about her mental health and break from social media – which lasted for 2 months. As someone who uses social media for her income, this was a very difficult, but important decision for her. Social media had become damaging to her well-being.

They also dive into maternity fashion and Ali has some great words of wisdom for new Moms who are struggling with the body issues that can be associated with pregnancy.
