Postpartum Depression in the Church: Breaking Silence, Restoring Identity, and Rebuilding Work-Life Balance

Postpartum depression is often misunderstood and rarely discussed in faith spaces—especially among high-capacity Christian women. In this episode of The Abiding CEO®, Dr. Betsy is joined by therapist and author Theresa Thomas, LPC, who shares her powerful journey through postpartum psychosis and the grace that met her there. Together, they unpack how postpartum depression impacts identity, clarity, and work-life balance, and why healing is not about hustling harder, but abiding deeper. This conversation offers biblical reassurance, clinical wisdom, and practical tools for women navigating motherhood, leadership, and mental health with faith.
