109: To Take Medication or Not To Take Medication?
The decision to take meds or not to take meds is one that can cause a ton of turmoil for many of us. In this episode, I talk through the decision making process by sharing my own story and how I came to the decision of taking medication, my thoughts about medication, my hesitations, and my experience with medication.
I initially thought meds would be the magic pill to solve all my problems…spoiler alert, it wasn’t.

103: When You Feel Disconnected from Yourself and Reality: What's Really Happening in Postpartum
Have you ever felt like you were floating outside your body... or like the world around you wasn’t real? Those strange, scary sensations are known as depersonalization and derealization, and they’re more common in postpartum anxiety and OCD than you might think.
In today’s episode, I’m walking you through what these symptoms are, why they happen, and what to do when they hit you hard. The answer probably isn’t what you’d expect, but it is what actually works.
Inside this episode, you’ll hear:
What depersonalization and derealization feel like in real life
How these sensations connect to postpartum anxiety and OCD
Why trying to "snap out of it" only fuels the fear
What to do instead when you feel detached from yourself or your surroundings
Why this experience doesn’t mean you’re broken and why there’s real hope for healing
If you’ve been silently struggling with feeling “off,” disconnected, or unsure if you’re losing your grip, this episode is for you. You’re not alone. And there’s a path forward.

102: Postpartum Psychosis and Depression: Why Intrusive Thoughts Don’t Mean You’re Crazy
If you’ve ever had a scary thought pop into your mind after, you’re not alone ... and it doesn’t mean you’re losing your mind. In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into postpartum psychosis fears and the very real struggle of intrusive thoughts after birth.
I’m breaking down the difference between postpartum psychosis (which is rare and involves hallucinations and delusions) and the unwanted, anxiety-driven thoughts that so many moms experience in silence. We’ll also talk about harm OCD, POCD, and the compulsions that keep you stuck in the cycle of fear.
Inside this episode, you’ll hear:
What postpartum psychosis symptoms actually are — and why intrusive thoughts are not the same thing
Why experiencing intrusive thoughts doesn’t mean you’ll act on them
The difference between harm OCD, POCD, and true psychosis
How compulsions reinforce fear (and how to start breaking free)
How to take small action steps toward healing from postpartum anxiety and OCD
Why your thoughts don’t define you and why there’s so much hope
If you're stuck in fear after having a baby and wondering if you’re "crazy," this conversation is for you. There’s hope. You’re not alone. And there’s a way forward.

101: Postpartum Depression Medication: What I Wish Someone Told Me
Have you ever thought to yourself, “Am I really so bad off that I need medication? What if I start and it makes me worse? What if I become dependent or feel numb — or what if it means I don’t trust God enough?”If you've wrestled with those thoughts, you’re not the only one. In this episode, I walk you through my personal journey with postpartum depression medication — the fears, the guilt, and the spiritual wrestling that came with it. Maybe you’re considering meds but feel anxious about side effects, long-term use, or what it means for your faith. I’ve been there. I’ll share the common fears Christian moms face, the truth that brought me peace, and a simple way to make a values-based decision rooted in faith instead of fear. Let’s talk honestly about postpartum depression, medication, and how to move forward with peace.
