Postpartum depression can show up in many ways and can be different for each individual. Unfortunately one things that tends to be common amongst those that suffer from it - the stigma that surrounds it. And how many women quietly "deal with it" alone, feeling ashamed or like they are failures.
Guest Rebecca Budig is speaking up. She is sharing her story through a short film that she produced and stars in, that shows postpartum depression through the lens of the person living it. Rebecca also shares how validating it was to be diagnosed and why reaching out for professional help was so important.
