Ep. 83 Honest Mom Talk With Sarah Merrill Hall: feeling lost, perinatal depression, & laughing through ALL of the chaos

This week we’re joined by the hilarious and unfiltered Sarah Merrill Hall — creator of Big Kid Problems and host of the hit podcast Bottle Service. Sarah has a knack for turning life’s most chaotic, unglamorous moments into comedy gold, and motherhood has only given her more material.We dive into her shift from cracking jokes about adulting struggles to finding the funny in spit-up, meltdowns, and all things mom life. Sarah opens up about getting lost in the identity shift that comes with becoming a mom, the “can’t make this sh*t up” moments from pregnancy and postpartum, and how humor has become her secret weapon in surviving the messy middle of motherhood.She also gets real about the surprises no one warns you about, her experience with postpartum (& perinatal) depression and how she overcame it, and the hormonal rollercoaster every mom deserves a manual for. And of course, we cover what she wishes every new mom could hear when they’re in the thick of it — depleted, doubting themselves, and just trying to make it through.If you need a reminder that you’re not alone, plus a few laughs along the way, this episode is for you.Follow Sarah on Instagram @bigkidproblems and binge her podcast Bottle Service wherever you listen!P.S. we are in her pod too!
