Taking Things in Stride

“It’s good days and bad days,” the 32-year-old explained about her depression. “It depends on what happens in my day to day life. You know, if something bad happens it will trigger it to go off a little bit.” The reality star divulged in early March that she had been struggling with her mental health since getting injured during her job as an EMT.

Working on the Relationship
