Be Happy Again: Podcast Launch

This podcast has been a year in the making, and several years in the dreaming, and now it's here.

And what a perfect day for it too: ten years ago today, my first daughter was born and I became a mom. There was so much pain and learning that first year, and each year after, and now I get to put a resource out into the world specifically for that mom who is struggling with postpartum depression for the very first time.

She may not even know that it’s what she has - all she knows is that motherhood sucks, and it is the furthest thing from what she thought it would be.

She probably thinks there’s something wrong with her for feeling this way, because nobody ever talks about it. She thinks that if she had known what was waiting for her, she for sure would never have gotten married in the first place - and all of the feelings of anger, rage, grief, and disconnect, trigger feelings of hopelessness, helplessness, guilt and shame.

Postpartum Depression feels like a big bundle of conglomeration and discombobulation - which can lead to unhealthy patterns in your marriage, in your motherhood, and ultimately it can lead to making choices that you will regret later: leaving your family, giving up your faith, or using birth control.

Be Happy Again is here to help you through that darkness so that we can minimize your pain and the hard effects of your depression.

To kick off the beginning of my podcast, there's three episodes waiting for you over there right now:

1. Welcome episode: Who I am, why I'm here, and who this podcast is for.

2. What is postpartum depression? The different levels of depression, and how to know if you have it.

3. Why is it worth it to heal? Going through postpartum depression can become who you are, and it feels scary to change. This episode shares what healing can bring to your life.

Be Happy Again is available on Apple Podcasts, with more places to come soon.

My hope for this podcast is that you will know that you are not alone, that there’s nothing wrong for feeling this way, and that you won’t always feel this way forever.

The love, the joy, and the contentment that you thought you would feel is possible for you too. Come with me.

If there's ever anything that you want me to talk about specifically on the podcast, or if there's something that you don't fully understand and would like me to dive into more, don't hesitate to reach out. I love hearing from you.

I’ll be back each Monday morning from here on out with a new podcast episode for you. Thank you for being here.<3

P.S. If you like what you hear on the podcast, make sure you share it with your family and friends as well. Life is so much harder when we’re all over in our own little bubbles, trying to pretend that we have it all together while we feel like we’re falling apart inside. It’s so much better together - bring the ones that you love in with you.
