Hey, thanks for stopping by the Carline Conversation Podcast. My name is Jason, and today I'm talking with my good friends Paddy and Melissa Flanagan. Paddy is the preaching minister for the Owens Crossroads Church of Christ, and Melissa is a graphic designer. They have two beautiful daughters.

Our topic today is a very sensitive and, unfortunately, rarely discussed topic. Paddy and Melissa are gracious enough to share with me their experience with postpartum depression and anxiety. While this topic doesn't necessarily deal with parenting our children, it's a challenge many parents face, especially new parents. While everyone's experience is unique, hearing that others have struggled through something similar can be helpful. Melissa is honest about the different emotions and pain she experienced, while Paddy gives helpful insight from the husband's perspective. I'm so grateful to both of them for their willingness to use their experience to help others who may be going through something similar.

Thank you for joining us. I hope this conversation is helpful.
