In this tender and metaphorical episode, we explore the often unspoken truth of postpartum depression—how it quietly shows up in the lives of mothers, especially those who are navigating early motherhood without a strong support system. Through the image of a fading light within a fragile paper house, we reflect on what it means to carry everything… and feel like you’re disappearing in the process.

You’ll hear a gentle, honest reflection on what it feels like when joy is expected but numbness takes its place. And I also share my personal story—giving birth, being left to navigate postpartum while husband was deployed, and only years later realizing I had lived through depression without even knowing how to name it.

This episode is a hand on your back in the dark.
A reminder that even if your light feels dim—you’re still the light.
