Today’s Episode: 

Megan Gillikin, the owner of A Southern Soiree and founder of The Planners Vault, joins us to discuss what it was like to find herself juggling a new marriage, a new business, a new baby, and all things at once. She shares her story of working through labor contractions while managing a wedding and more. Listen as she tells us how she overcame her postpartum depression and anxiety, and what you can do to learn from her experiences. 

Side note: As we were interviewing Lara on her experiences growing up in both America and places like Beirut, the Beirut bombings were taking place. As soon as Lara and I were finished speaking, we both heard the news and immediately texted each other. Lara was shaken as her family’s businesses were significantly impacted by the bombing. Thankfully, her family is safe. If you wish to donate to help support Beirut, we’ve included the link below.
