Summary

Lindsay is a mom who was blindsided by a situation that affects 1 in 5 women after childbirth.  After the birth of her son, she struggled for 6 years through postpartum depression.  She bravely stared in and co-produced a riveting documentary called When The Bough Breaks that you need to watch even if you're not a new mom. What we chat about: The importance of getting a good doctor and continuing on until you find treatment that works for you. What postpartum depression can look like. How the Gerszt's preserved their marriage through it all. How the spouse of a woman with a perinatal mood disorder also is enduring a trial.    Show Sponsor: The Easter Story Egg™ is a tradition that celebrates the true meaning of Easter. This family activity includes a hardcover book and 7 wooden nesting Eggs. The Story Egg™ book begins on Palm Sunday and ends on Easter Sunday. Each Egg within the set of nesting Eggs has a story that relates to a particular day in Holy Week, leading up to Easter Sunday. As the children open each Egg they will discover the Easter story and the journey of Jesus through Holy week.   Support the show: Shop Amazon Affiliate Link   Share the Struggle!

episode 65 and she came up with a star from afar, you probably remember that,
