Episode 11: Emma’s Story – Navigating Life with Postnatal Depression

Hosted by Yvonne Pritchard

In this honest and deeply moving episode of Female & Fabulous – Brave & Bold, I speak with Emma as she shares her experience of living with postnatal depression. From the early signs she didn’t recognise, to the overwhelming emotions that followed the birth of her child, Emma opens up about the reality so many women silently face.

Together, we explore the stigma that still surrounds maternal mental health, how Emma sought help, and the steps she took toward healing and recovery. Her story is a powerful reminder that struggling after birth doesn’t make you a bad mother—it makes you human.
