Ep 29 - From Fundraiser to Lifeline: How the Postpartum Resource Center Became My Support System

After an unplanned summer break, Jill and Bobby return to the mic to share how life, parenthood, and purpose have evolved. In this heartfelt episode, Jill reflects on her lifelong connection to the Postpartum Resource Center of New York (PRCNY) - from raising funds for it as a teen to relying on its support as a mom navigating postpartum struggles. Together, they unpack why organizations like PRCNY and Postpartum Support International are vital for families, what resources are available, and how faith and community can make healing possible. They also share their weekly highs and lows, offering a raw glimpse into the realities of kindergarten transitions, long work hours, and finding balance as a family.  

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• How Jill’s childhood church mission became the foundation for her postpartum healing journey
• The story behind the Postpartum Resource Center of New York and why its work matters
• Why postpartum mood and anxiety disorders can impact anyone, no matter how many children you have
• The difference between “baby blues” and postpartum mood disorders
• Ways to find or recommend local and virtual postpartum support
• How small acts of advocacy - like sharing resources - can change another mom’s story

This episode is a beautiful reminder that what we pour into early on - whether through faith, community, or service - can one day pour back into us. The Postpartum Resource Center of New York stands as a lifeline not just for Jill, but for countless families who need to know they’re not alone. Whether you’re a first-time mom or a seasoned parent, this conversation encourages you to seek support, share your story, and stay connected to the resources that help you thrive.
