In this episode, Sarah - a nurse, mom, and mental health advocate - takes us inside her whirlwind journey through postpartum psychosis. From a premature birth and NICU stay to walking into her own workplace in the grips of psychosis and professing her love to her once boss, Sarah shares the moments that shocked her and those around her.

She uses a tornado as a metaphor for the chaos of postpartum psychosis, reflects on her bipolar diagnosis, and wonders about the connection between thyroid health and mental health. Most importantly, Sarah shows how recovery is possible and why whole-family support, sleep, and community matter.

Trigger warning: we discuss some death related delusions, and suicidal thoughts. Take care as you listen.
