Kristen Lee Mansourian shares her transformative journey through postpartum psychosis and how she discovered that our darkest moments can become our greatest teachers on the path to healing and self-mastery.
• Kristen's experience with postpartum psychosis stemming from a retained placenta fragment that caused recurring infections
• How the medical system's separation of physical and mental health led to misdiagnosis and prolonged suffering
• Reframing life challenges as "initiations" rather than problems to overcome
• Breaking generational cycles of trauma through conscious awareness
• Finding growth in marriage through seeing your partner as a mirror
• Embracing sensitivity and empathic abilities as gifts rather than disorders
• Creating safe spaces for emotional expression in relationships
• Using conscious communication to deepen connection instead of triggering defensiveness
• How parenting becomes our greatest mirror for personal growth
• Learning to trust the process even when you can't see the purpose yet
