NICU Experience, Postpartum Depression & Raising an 8-Year-Old Warrior | Stephanie’s Story

Описание: In this heartfelt, raw, and healing episode of the FTK Moms Podcast, Winter and Alicia sit down with Stephanie, a mom whose motherhood journey began in a way she never expected.

Stephanie shares her NICU experience with her son — now 8 — and walks us through the emotional rollercoaster of those early days: the fear, the waiting, the uncertainty, and the strength she didn’t know she had.

She opens up honestly about the postpartum depression that followed, how it impacted her mentally and emotionally, and why it took time (and support) to fully understand what she was feeling.

Now raising a brave, sensitive, and resilient little boy, Stephanie reflects on how her early experiences shaped her motherhood, her identity, and her confidence.

This episode is for every mom who has ever felt overwhelmed, scared, or silently struggling. Stephanie’s story reminds us that healing is messy, motherhood is complex, and no mom should ever feel alone.

Stephanie’s real and emotional NICU experience
The truth about postpartum depression and how differently it can show up
Raising an 8-year-old boy after a difficult start
