9 - The Hard Work of Healing: My Journey Out of Postpartum Hell

from Revel in the Chaos · host Tara Schifsky

In this raw and unfiltered episode of Revel in the Chaos, Tara Schifsky opens up about the brutal reality of postpartum depression and anxiety—the messy, isolating, and often shame-filled side of motherhood that no one warns you about. Tara doesn’t sugarcoat it. She takes you through the darkest corners of her experience, the breaking points that forced her to ask for help, and the hard-won lessons that cracked her open in ways she never saw coming. This is more than a story about surviving postpartum—it’s about reclaiming yourself, finding strength in vulnerability, and smashing the unrealistic expectations placed on moms. If you’ve ever felt lost in the chaos of motherhood, this one’s for you.CONTACTInstagram: ⁠@revelinthechaos_official⁠Facebook: ⁠Revel in the Chaos⁠Email: taraschifsky@gmail.comRESOURCESPostpartumDepression.orgPostpartum Support InternationalNational Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI)Suicide and Crisis Lifeline: Call or Text 988CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction and Reflection on Previous Episode05:57 The Struggles of Postpartum Depression11:51 Seeking Help and Finding Relief18:10 The Transformation of Self-Identity23:59 Navigating Motherhood and Mental Health30:01 Grief and Acceptance in Motherhood35:54 Support and Connection with Other Moms41:52 Empathy and Reaching Out to OthersKEYWORDSpostpartum depression, mental health, motherhood, self-identity, support, anxiety, healing, intrusive thoughts, emotional well-being, parenting
