Hi Mama,

In this episode, we're talking about postpartum anxiety and three practical tips that can help you get through those moments when your thoughts feel overwhelming and your nervous system feels like it's stuck in overdrive. I share part of my own experience with postpartum anxiety, including lying awake at night worrying about my baby even when she was safely sleeping. You'll learn how to shrink your world down to the next ten minutes, stop treating every anxious thought like an emergency, and calm your body before trying to calm your mind. These simple tools aren't a replacement for professional support, but they can help you take one small step toward feeling calmer when anxiety gets loud.

You've Got This Mama!

Love,

Stephanie

Hi Mama,

In this episode, we're talking about five postpartum support quotes that can help put words to what you're feeling when postpartum depression or anxiety feels impossible to explain. I share part of my own experience of feeling incredibly alone during postpartum depression and how one simple quote made me feel understood when I couldn't find the words myself. You'll also learn how you can use these quotes to start conversations with your spouse, family, friends, or other moms and remind yourself that struggling postpartum does not make you a bad mother.

You've Got This Mama!

Hi Mama,

In this episode, we're talking about four simple secrets that can help you get so much more out of your therapy sessions. I share part of my own story of struggling with postpartum depression and realizing that I was leaving therapy appointments wishing I had said more. You'll learn why writing things down can help when postpartum brain fog makes it difficult to remember your week, why telling your therapist the whole truth is so important, how asking questions can help you actually understand and practice the tools you're learning, and why so much of your healing can happen between therapy appointments as you put those tools into practice.

You've Got This Mama!

Hi Mama,

In this episode, we're talking about why continuing to struggle months after giving birth isn't something you should simply ignore or minimize. I share part of my own story of realizing that, even after receiving treatment for postpartum depression, I was still struggling three months after my daughter was born. We'll talk about why postpartum depression doesn't always look the way we expect it to, why so many moms become experts at minimizing what they're feeling, and the three important steps you can take when you know something isn't right: stop minimizing what you're feeling, tell someone the whole truth, and make a plan to get the support you need.

You've Got This Mama!

Hi Mama,

In this episode, I'm sharing something much more personal than I normally do. With the Lindsay Clancy trial currently taking place, I felt like I needed to talk about it—not just as someone who has followed this case, but as a mom who has personally experienced severe postpartum depression and what it was like to be admitted to an inpatient psychiatric hospital. I share some of the most difficult parts of my own experience, including why I felt like I had to lie my way out of psychiatric care because I was afraid of what would happen if I told the truth. I also share my thoughts on what we've heard so far in the Lindsay Clancy trial, the ways I believe our mental healthcare system is failing mothers in crisis, and why I don't believe compassion for Lindsay and heartbreak over the loss of her children have to be mutually exclusive. Most importantly, I talk about why I refuse to judge another mother solely by what happened in her darkest moments—because I don't want to be judged by what happened in mine.

You've Got This Mama!

Love,

Stephanie
