Cassie Antos shares the incredible story of her baby’s early arrival while she was visiting family—far from home and completely unprepared. What started as a terrifying, unexpected turn quickly became a powerful journey of faith, resilience, and family. 

There’s a lot I could’ve left unsaid this week. But I hit record anyway.   This time I just showed up, off script, and shared where my heart is and where I am now. 

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Russell Jacobs opens up about the hidden pain passed down through generations — and what it took to finally break the cycle. From growing up in a family marked by abuse and unspoken trauma, Russell shares how he confronted the generational curses that shaped his early life. He takes us through the emotional journey of healing, not just for himself, but for his family's rebuilding. Russell also speaks vulnerably about his experience navigating his wife's postpartum struggles during a time when those conversations didn’t exist, shedding light on the emotional toll that goes unnamed in so many homes.

In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend, Amy Henke, to talk about her postpartum journey after welcoming her second child. We open up about the honest, sometimes messy, shifts in friendships and how we’ve learned to stay connected through it all. It’s a real conversation about survival, support, and showing up for each other in new seasons of life.

My guest, Mary Feichter, is not only a long-time friend but an inspiration. She shares her powerful story of living through multiple traumas and how it shaped her postpartum experience. A raw, honest conversation about pain, healing, and finding meaning in the in-between.

In this episode, our kids open up about what it was like watching me go through severe postpartum — what they saw, what they felt, and how it affected them. We share this to remind families that healing involves everyone, not just the one struggling. If you can’t stay for the whole episode, please try to catch the second half — it’s where the most important insights and moments come through.

Today we jumped into a vulnerable and detailed conversation about my postpartum experience. We also discussed my husbands trauma, as he watched it unfold! 

Welcome to the very first episode of The Quiet Crash Podcast! Excited to kick off these next 2 part episodes with my husband, Jarred Burns.
