Motherhood can be beautiful—and incredibly overwhelming.

In this honest and relatable episode, Kristen Hallinan talks with Courtney Devich about the silent struggles many moms face with anxiety and depression. Courtney shares her personal journey through postpartum anxiety, the battle to distinguish everyday worries from deeper mental health challenges, and the faith that carried her through it. Together, they break down the stigma, offer practical tools for managing anxiety, and highlight why it’s so important to model mental health awareness for our kids.

If you’ve ever felt alone in your struggles, this conversation is a reminder that you're not broken—you’re human, and you're definitely not alone.
