The baby is finally here. Everyone says this should be the happiest time of your life… But instead, you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, and maybe even ashamed to admit: something’s off.
In this raw and hope-filled episode of Unlock U with Dr. Shannan Crawford, licensed psychologist Dr. Grace Spencer—one of Crawford Clinics’ trusted providers—speaks candidly about the emotional rollercoaster of postpartum depression. With deep compassion and clinical insight, Dr. Grace helps new moms and couples understand what’s really going on beneath the surface when the joy of a new baby is met with exhaustion, sadness, irritability, or even resentment.
You’ll learn how the hormonal crash, sleep deprivation, identity shifts, and mounting relational stress can all serve as powerful triggers—not only for postpartum depression, but for old wounds that may resurface in unexpected ways. Dr. Grace shares practical strategies for nurturing emotional well-being, safeguarding your relationship, and making room for grace (not guilt) in this tender season.
Whether you’re a new mom, a supportive partner, or someone walking with a couple in this season—this episode is an invitation to heal, reconnect, and grow together as you welcome new life.
