In this powerful episode, Amina opens up about the emotional realities of early motherhood—navigating postpartum depression, the pressure to breastfeed, and struggling to feel a connection with her newborn. She shares how returning to work while managing her health and caring for her baby tested her limits, and why mental health support should never be an afterthought.

Amina’s story is raw, honest, and a much-needed reminder that motherhood doesn’t always look the way we expect it to. From cultural expectations to personal struggles, she reminds us that asking for help is a sign of strength—not weakness.
