35. Feel Misunderstood and Unsupported? Top 5 Postpartum Support Quotes and What To Do With Them Now

Hi Mama,

• Do you feel like no one truly understands what you're going through with postpartum depression or anxiety?
  
  
• Have you found yourself struggling to explain how you're feeling and wishing someone could just understand without you having to find all the right words?
  
  
• Are you looking for simple reminders that you are not a bad mom, you don't have to heal overnight, and you were never meant to carry postpartum alone?

In this episode, we're talking about five postpartum support quotes that can help put words to what you're feeling when postpartum depression or anxiety feels impossible to explain. I share part of my own experience of feeling incredibly alone during postpartum depression and how one simple quote made me feel understood when I couldn't find the words myself. You'll also learn how you can use these quotes to start conversations with your spouse, family, friends, or other moms and remind yourself that struggling postpartum does not make you a bad mother.

You've Got This Mama!

Love,

Stephanie
