PATRICIA HOPPMANN - NICU, PPD, and One Mom's Unplanned Dream Come True

Send us Fan MailOn today's episode, we're sitting down with Patricia Hoppmann — a Peer Support Program Assistant here at PSI and, as she puts it, the team's unofficial 'sweeper.' That’s a sports reference … sigh … nevermind. We’ll chat about how Patricia's journey into motherhood was unplanned. The road that followed included early labor, the NICU, breastfeeding challenges, PPD, and the very real fear of being honest about how she was feeling. What changed everything? Peer support — and finding the right therapist. This one is honest, heartfelt, and full of the kind of realness that makes you feel less alone. So, without further ado, please sit back, relax, and enjoy this episode with our good friend, Patricia.Mentioned on today's episode:PSI's Postpartum Planning ClassPSI's Peer Support GroupsPodcast: Good HangWatching: 30 Rock; Parks and Recreation; Seinfeld; Schitt's Creek; Severancewww.doesthedogdie.comConnect with Patricia: [email protected] in sharing your story?Fill out our podcast interest form here!
