Today’s topics get raw and real as DezMarie opens up about her childhood, surviving abuse, mental health awareness, and personal parenting experiences.

Desiree Thomas aka DezMarie, CEO & Artistic Director for Mindful Arts Dance Academy. Also, podcast creator & host of RealLifewithFreshHeir.

Hey hey hey, it’s me DezMarie and today I get real comfortable with y’all as I open up about my childhood; such as being raised by my grandparents and surviving abuse from people closest to me. I share about my three very different pregnancies and birth stories, as well as touch on the importance of maintaining our mental health, especially when it comes to becoming a parent. An excellent resource I had was Miss Bridget Teyler, a Lamaze certified childbirth educator, a DONA certified doula, and mother. I watched her highly informative YouTube channel as well as more Jon and Kate plus eight than you could imagine!
