And while Teddi doesn’t express everything to her little ones, she does realize that everyone can benefit from speaking about their health and well-being.
“If you’re having a day and you can’t fake it, don’t,” Teddi told E!. “Let yourself feel the emotions. I had one day where I cried, and I went through all the hypotheticals—the good, the bad, the ugly—and sat there with my feelings and wrote them down. And then, I was like, I can do this.”
When she tried masking her emotions, it only made her feel worse. “You see how many people are affected by things after you talk about it,” the 41-year-old, who has check-ins with her doctors every three months, shared. “But if you’ve never talked about it, you’re just dealing with it yourself and it can feel really lonely.”
