Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of postpartum psychosis, intrusive thoughts, and mental health crises that may be distressing to some listeners. Please take care when listening.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, we sit down with Gabby, a mother who bravely shares her experience with postpartum psychosis—an often misunderstood and rarely talked about maternal mental health condition. From the early signs that something wasn’t right to the critical turning point that led her to seek help, Gabby opens up about the reality of navigating a mental health emergency in the postpartum period.

We explore the difference between postpartum depression, anxiety, and psychosis, and provide insight into recognizing red flags, accessing support, and removing the stigma surrounding maternal mental health challenges. Whether you’re a parent, a support person, or a provider, this episode sheds light on an important topic we all need to understand more fully.

In this insightful and compassionate episode, we’re joined by Constance Lewis, Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner and Parenting Practice’s postpartum coach, for a conversation all about the postpartum period—what it really looks like, how to navigate it, and how to care for both your baby and yourself during this time.

• The difference between the baby blues and more serious conditions like postpartum anxiety (PPA) and postpartum depression (PPD)

• Common signs and symptoms to watch for—and when to reach out for help

• Tangible ways to make the most out of postpartum, including support systems, rest, mindset shifts, and mental health check-ins
