In this episode of the Mama Outspoken podcast, hosts Jill and Bobby share their experiences as first-time parents navigating toddlerhood. They begin with their highs and lows of the week, discussing the challenges they faced, such as dealing with snowstorms and car troubles, as well as highlights like attending a monster truck event with their child. The main focus of the episode is their insightful discussion on the movie 'Night Bitch', which opened their eyes to the realities of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Through watching the film, they reflected on their own experiences with postpartum depression, anxiety, and rage, and emphasized the importance of understanding and supporting new moms. They advocate for the necessity of awareness and dialogue around these issues, encouraging both parents and their support networks to watch films that depict these challenges to foster better understanding and support.
