Why this podcast?
"After giving birth to my daughter, I was hit hard with postpartum depression and anxiety. I remember my breaking point - I was pushing the stroller, frantically searching for an article, a podcast… anything that would make me feel like I wasn’t alone. Despite my best efforts, I never found what I was looking for. No one was talking honestly about the complete loss of identity, the sense of despair, the I've made a huge mistake feeling. I was devastated.
Once my depression and anxiety finally subsided, I made it my mission to talk to as many new and expectant mothers as possible. I wanted to bring awareness to this devastating reality and let them know they were not alone. The response was incredible, with many expressing gratitude for my honesty and willingness to share my story.
This experience opened my eyes to the power of genuine connection through shared hardship, and the importance of speaking openly about all the struggles we face. What else weren't we talking about? How many people out there were feeling alone on their journey? Something needed to change. It ignited my desire to build a platform to have those conversations, and share them with the world."
