PPD, Unfiltered: Real Talk for Maternal Mental Health Month


Listen Later

May is Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month, and to close it out, Sarah is opening up in a deeply personal and honest episode about her experience with postpartum depression. Spoiler alert: it might not look like what you expect.

We discuss the subtle signs of PPD that are often missed, what daily life can really feel like when you’re living through it, and the rollercoaster of emotions that come with trying to keep it all together. From the conventional to the downright strange, she shares the wide range of things she’s tried in an effort to manage it—from therapy and medication to supplements, peptides, and more.

Whether you're in the thick of it, have been there before, or want to better understand what so many new moms silently go through, this episode is a raw, compassionate, and much-needed reminder that you're not alone. Buckle up—it’s a vulnerable one.
