Pamela Newman is a therapist who spent her first postpartum experience deep in anxiety, envisioning worst-case scenarios, refusing help, convinced she had to manage everything alone. All without recognizing what was happening until it lifted over a year later. In this episode, she and Dr. Mary Ellen Kramp walk through three very different pregnancies and postpartum periods, the breastfeeding journey nobody warned her about, and what she wishes she had known about asking for help. A conversation with someone who had all the clinical knowledge and still had to learn these lessons firsthand.
