"Stevie leaving Good Mythical Morning was definitely not on my [----] bingo card. My boyfriend and I have watched them for years together and when we had our son I fell deep into postpartum depression. Every morning I would get up to feed him right around the time GMM uploaded their videos and in those early numb and overwhelming days that show became my emotional support. Somehow it gave me a little space to breathe a chance to smile and a moment of normalcy when everything else felt so heavy. I wish Stevie the absolute best on her new journey I know shes going to crush it. #goodmythicalmorning"
