In nearly every neighborhood in America there will be at least a few mothers who have experienced Postpartum Depression (PPD). Despite its prevalence and severity, it’s a topic that is rarely discussed. At the core of BoldJourney is a belief that learning from each other’s experiences is essential and so we asked some incredible mothers to open up to us about their experiences with PPD.

A huge reason why I started my photography business, besides making an income as a stay at home mom, was because of my experience with postpartum depression. Postpartum depression was an unexpected visitor after welcoming our first baby. A new mom with a newborn, unsure of her new identity, and scared to let people down. I spent my first few months as a new mother being absolutely miserable and not understanding what was going on, after all wasn’t this supposed to be one of the best times of our lives? Read more>>
