My Journey

Strength in Motherhood blog is a new combined effort of my family blog - The Maestas Minis, and my running blog - Diary of a Badass.

I started blogging many moons ago to document my running journey from struggling to complete a mile, to signing up for ultra marathons. My life took an unexpected and wonderful turn when I married the love of my life in 2014. Soon there after, we were pregnant with our first son, then our second son, and finally our third babe - a daughter. Having three kids transformed my life and my running trajectory.

My pregnancy with Hannah was full of hardships, and the difficulties culminated with a cross-country move just 6 weeks postpartum, in the depths of postpartum depression...something I never experienced with the boys.

My children are now (almost) 5, 3, and we now have a one year old! We are incredibly blessed with this life.

Now that the postpartum depression fog is lifting and I am weaning off depression medication, I am finding time for my other passion in life...running.

I've decided that you cannot have one side of me without the other, so I joined my two blogs into this one that will cover motherhood, endurance/running/training, and anything in between.

I'm glad you're here!
