Ep 10 | Sleepwalking through Anxiety - Jodie's Story

In this raw and powerful episode, we dive deep into Jodie’s journey with postpartum anxiety - a journey that went unnoticed for years. Jodie opens up about the emotional and physical toll that PPA took on her, even though she didn’t realize what was happening. For a long time, her anxiety showed up in ways she couldn’t pinpoint, like sleepwalking and constantly checking on her 8-year-old daughter to make sure she was okay at night. Jodie shares the impact this had on her family, the confusion she faced, and how she eventually recognized and confronted postpartum anxiety.We also discuss how these symptoms are often overlooked or misunderstood, highlighting how postpartum anxiety can manifest differently for each person. This episode is about self-discovery, healing, and understanding mental health. If you or someone you know is struggling with PPA, this episode could help uncover a hidden battle many are facing.
