Monica Beets’ Emotional Confession: Struggling with Postpartum After Child – I Feel Like I’m Failing as a Mom!…Is She Okay??!
Even the toughest miners have their breaking point. Monica Beets, the fearless daughter of Tony Beets and a fan favorite on Gold Rush, has shared a raw and heartbreaking confession about her life as a new mother of two.
Just weeks after quietly welcoming her second child with husband Taylor Mayes, Monica took to social media in a rare, tearful video to open up about her battle with postpartum depression. Known for bossing around crew members and driving massive rock trucks, seeing Monica this vulnerable has left fans stunned.
“Two Under Two Is No Joke”
In the emotional clip, Monica appeared without makeup, holding her newborn while her toddler played in the background.
“Everyone expects me to be this strong ‘Beets woman,’ but right now, I am crumbling,” Monica admitted, wiping away tears. “The sleepless nights, the crying… I feel like I’m failing as a mom. I love them so much, but I don’t recognize myself in the mirror anymore. The mining season is starting, and I don’t know how I’m going to do it all.”
Tony Beets Reacts?
Sources say that even her father, the legendary “Viking” Tony Beets, has been worried.
“Tony is usually all about ‘make it happening,’ but seeing his little girl struggle has softened him,” an insider revealed. “He told Taylor to take over the night shifts so Monica can sleep. The family is rallying around her, but Monica puts so much pressure on herself to be perfect.”
Fans Send Love
The comment section was flooded with support from other mothers who related to her pain.
“You are not failing, Monica! You are human!” one top comment read. “Postpartum is a beast. Take your time. The gold isn’t going anywhere.”
Another wrote: “Thank you for being real. We see the filtered version on TV, but this is the reality. You are doing a great job.”
We are sending our best wishes to Monica and her growing family during this difficult adjustment period.
