We open our hearts about postpartum depression as an experience, not a verdict, blending biology, identity, and soul. We share tools, stories, and a journal prompt to trade judgment for compassion and to make room for slow, honest healing.

• Talking with my daughter about anxiety, depression, and invisible thoughts
• Garden metaphor for the emptiness and rebuild after birth
• Honoring Robin Williams and why speaking thoughts out loud matters
• Present, honest parenting over perfect parenting
• Dismantling the blissful new parent myth with science and story
• Hormonal cliff, nervous system overload, identity fracture
• Traumatic births, PTSD, and why bounce back harms recovery
• Medication without shame, therapy as support, writing as lifeline
• Replacing should statements with I am truths
• Practical tools: longer exhales, micro truths, reaching for help
• Journal prompt for self-compassion and gentle return to self
