  • E45: Overstimulated & Overwhelmed: Understanding Postpartum Anxiety, with Christina
    Jan 6 2026

    In this special episode of Delivered, we are joined by Christina, a first time Mom who was faced with Postpartum Anxiety after delivering her baby girl 18 months ago. Postpartum anxiety often hides in plain sight—masked as constant worry, racing thoughts, or the feeling of being completely overstimulated by even the smallest moments. In this episode, we're breaking down what postpartum anxiety really looks like, why it's so commonly misunderstood, and how it can quietly take over during a season that's supposed to feel joyful.

    Join us as Christina opens up about the difference between "normal new-parent stress" and anxiety that deserves attention. We dive into the impact of sensory overload and mental exhaustion, and why so many parents struggle in silence. Whether you're feeling on edge, emotionally flooded, or simply not like yourself, this conversation offers validation and reassurance that you are NOT alone—and that support is available.

    If you've ever thought, "Why can't I calm down?" or "Is this normal?" this episode is for you!!
