Postpartum depression gets the spotlight… but postpartum anxiety (PPA)? It’s just as real, just as brutal, and way less talked about. In this raw, funny, and painfully honest convo with Maddie Muhs (motherhood creator and mom who’s lived it), we unpack what PPA actually looks like, when it hits, and how to get real help.

What you’ll hear:

• The many faces of PPA: racing thoughts, doom-scroll brain, hyper-vigilance, sleep spirals
• When it shows up (hint: not always right away) and why it can blindside you
• Our personal “yep, anxiety was driving” moments (baby monitor FBI energy, anyone?)
• What helps: therapy, community, partner support, and—yes—medication when needed
• Breaking the stigma so moms stop suffering in silence

Who this is for: new moms, moms-to-be, partners who want to help, and anyone who’s ever stared at a sleeping baby to make sure they’re breathing (same).

If this sounds like you, you’re not broken and you’re not alone. Share this with a mom friend who might need it today.

Note: This episode includes open discussion of mental health and medication. It’s not medical advice, please talk to your doctor or a qualified provider if you need support.
