Jill and Bobby reflect on their experience attending the premiere of Behind the Joy, a powerful film directed by Jamal Smart that highlights the reality of postpartum mental health struggles. They discuss the film’s impact, key moments that resonated deeply, and how it can serve as a tool to spark conversations about postpartum depression, anxiety, and OCD. They also open up about their own parenting highs and lows, sharing personal insights into the emotional journey of raising a toddler.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
- How Behind the Joy sheds light on postpartum mood and anxiety disorders
- The importance of recognizing signs of postpartum struggles in new moms
- Why conversations about perinatal mental health are critical for families
- The role of a supportive partner and community in postpartum healing
