Send us Fan Mail**We need to talk about mental health**I never thought that would be my story — therapy, meds, and something I didn’t even know existed until I was drowning in it: postpartum rage.This episode is the most vulnerable I’ve ever been on the mic. I’m taking you all the way back — from being the anxious “good girl” with constant stomach aches, to sneaking into therapy like I was robbing a bank, to finally saying yes to SSRIs after my third baby broke me wide open.I share the therapists who weren’t right (including one who literally texted during sessions 🙃), the mental health stigma I carried from growing up in the 90s, and the moment my midwife looked me in the eye and said, “You are a good mom — and you need help.”If you’ve ever wondered:Is my anger normal?Am I weak if I need meds?How do I even start therapy without feeling like a failure?…this episode is for you.This is my messy, honest, and life-changing journey — and I’m finally saying it out loud so you don’t have to feel alone in yours.(fixed link) If you vibed with this episode, here’s how you can keep the chaos going: Hit Follow so new episodes show up without you having to remember (because who has the brain space?)Share it with your favorite boss bestie so they know they’re not alone 🍷Leave a rating & review — it’s basically the podcast version of a compliment, and you know I live for those 💕Pop by instagram @saideegrimley or tiktok @wholetmedothispod and tell me what no ones saying out loud as a high achieving working mom
