Hey, this is Meredith. While we're working on the next 10 new episodes of the unfolding, we wanted to share some of our incredible stories from the archives. One of the things I so appreciate about Sparkle Sanders is her honesty about the struggle with postpartum depression. I think for many women, that struggle feels so lonely and isolating.

If you're there or if you've ever been there, Sparkle's story will give you hope.

Page 86 of the unfolding is the story of Sparkle Sanders.

As soon as I would wake up, my mind will be racing.

Is he going to cry today?

kept saying, I've never seen you like this. God's story has been unfolding.

Since the beginning of time. He invites you to be a part of it.

Hi, this is Meredith Foster.

Sparkle Sanders was driven to succeed in everything she did.

She found peace when she could check every box, obey all the rules, when she felt in control.

One of her greatest fears was failure.

I have grown up in church and knowing about Jesus all my life.

I can say in my natural state, in my personality type, I can be a perfectionist.

That's always been there. So whatever I do,
