Jodi considers book in the near future Published 31/10/2015 | 00:00 Further down the line, there may be a book in the pipeline for Jodi. She put pen to paper following the birth of Koa, in a period where she suffered from Post-Natal Depression. It was therapeutic, and almost helped Jodi come through to the other side. That came to somewhat of a halt when her mother passed away this year, but she hasn't given up on the idea of releasing a book just yet. She wants to encourage other way to speak about what they are going through. "I think the biggest thing about Post-Natal depression is talking about it. You can't talk about it when you're in it. But for me, where it helped was once I realised what I had, it was my step to recovery. "I think the reason I'm vocal about it is I do believe a lot of women are ashamed of it and think it's the way they're looking after their children. "It isn't true. It's a hormone imbalance and it's a state of mind. I was writing a book just before my Mum passed, and I was going to bring it out. I still might, I would love women to see as a first time Mum, what I was going through. "People wouldn't think that I was going through that. Kian was a hands on Dad, he was perfect. He had nothing to do with it though. It was my head, it was my body, it was my emotions." The condition is more common than people may think, and Jodi feels sharing her experience may be of some assistance to others. "The more women you sit down with and talk with, you realise how common it is. It's sad that women feel like they can't talk to each other. Women need women when they are post-natal. "It's great to have men but you need women. Once another woman has gone through the same thing, you kind of realise you're not alone. I would talk about it with any woman." "When Koa was two, I told my friend I had post-natal. We were pregnant at the very same time. She turned around to me and said 'me too'. I was sad that neither of us told each other." Jodi's book went as far as the book proposal. That doesn't mean she's dismissed the idea. But we could potentially see a new side of Jodi in the near future as she considers releasing her book. "We'll see how the boutique goes first," she says. Sligo Champion Source: http://www.independent.ie/regionals/sligoc...e-34142740.html |
