01. My Story with Postpartum Depression and What You Can Expect From This Podcast

Hi Mama,

• Have you ever had thoughts after having a baby that didn’t feel like your own?

• Do you feel like you should be happy—but instead feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or lost?

• Have you ever wondered, “Why do I feel this way when everything in my life looks okay?”

In today’s episode, I’m sharing my deeply personal journey through acute postpartum depression—twice—and how it brought me to my lowest moments, but ultimately led me back to hope. You’ll hear the raw reality of what postpartum depression can feel like, how it differs from what many expect, and why so many moms silently struggle. I’ll also share what you can expect from this podcast moving forward—a safe place filled with honesty, practical support, and real hope for wherever you are in your journey.

If you’re in a dark place right now…
If your thoughts feel scary…
If you feel like you’re barely holding on…

You are not alone.
You are not broken.
And there is still hope for you—even if you can’t feel it yet.

You’ve got this!

Love,

Stephanie
