Description: In this episode, Danielle Moss welcomes her longtime friend Julia Dzafic, the creator behind Lemon Stripes and author of Garden Grown, for a candid conversation about anxiety, motherhood, work, and what happens when you reach your 40s. Julia opens up about her struggles with postpartum anxiety, her experience with miscarriage, and how sharing her story online helped others—and herself—feel less alone. She talks about finding balance between hustling and being present as a mom, learning to manage anxiety with routines and therapy, and navigating tricky terrain like drinking, parenting picky eaters, and managing the pressures of social media. If you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes, how to tune out judgment, or just need reassurance that you’re doing enough, this conversation is for you. Refreshingly honest, heartwarming, and full of laughter, Julia brings all the real-talk you didn’t know you needed.--Links for this episode:Julia's Substack, Medicated Millenial Momhttps://medicatedmillennialmom.substack.com/Julia's Bloghttps://lemonstripes.com/Julia's Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/lemonstripes/?hl=enGarden Grownhttps://geni.us/MA64XDanielle's Favorite Proteinhttps://go.shopmy.us/p-31758143Follow Danielle Moss:Website - https://www.danielle-moss.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/daniellemoss_/Substack - https://daniellemoss.substack.com/
