In this compassionate and eye-opening episode, Matt and Corinna explore the often-hidden reality of postpartum depression—what it looks like, why it happens, and how both moms and dads can navigate it with hope, honesty, and support. Drawing on personal stories, clinical insight, and moments of faith, they unpack the emotional, biological, and relational weight that can surface during the early months of parenthood.

Together, they discuss how mental health, exhaustion, intrusive thoughts, anger, and unrealistic expectations can reshape a family’s sense of self—and why none of it is a reflection of anyone’s worth or ability. The conversation highlights how grace-based communication can protect relationships, how partners can walk through this time without shame, and why asking for help is an act of wisdom, not weakness.

With practical tools, encouragement for single parents, insights on paternal postpartum depression, and resources for building community, this episode offers a grounded, gentle companion for anyone facing the challenging season of parenting. Whether you're in the thick of it or supporting someone who is, this reframe reminds you: you’re not broken, you’re not alone—and healing happens in connection.
