Oakland mom, Sahra Brandt, was navigating her first year postpartum while her husband battled postpartum depression. In this episode, host Lina Forrestal and fashion stylist Sahra talk about how hard that first year postpartum is on relationships and Sahra discusses in detail how couples therapy saved her marriage. Today, she and her husband are expecting another baby and are happier than ever. 

In this episode, Lina and Sahra talk about:

• When Sahra first realized that there was something deeper going on with her husband
• How she went so far as to file divorce paperwork
• How the first few sessions of couples therapy went and the steps they took
• What brought them back together
• How common it actually is to have marriage problems in the first year of postpartum
• Why more couples don't talk about this
