62. How to Support Your Wife Through Postpartum Depression & Anxiety (From a Husband’s Perspective)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Postpartum isn’t just a transition for moms—it deeply impacts marriage, communication, and connection too.
In today’s episode, I’m joined by my husband as we have an honest conversation about what it really looked like to walk through postpartum depression and anxiety together. From the inside perspective of a husband, we’re talking about the things that were confusing, the things that helped, and the things he wishes more men understood about this season.
If you’re a mom in the thick of postpartum, this episode will help you feel seen and understood. And if you’re sharing this with your husband (highly recommend), it will give him practical, tangible ways to support you—without feeling like he has to “fix” everything.
We’re breaking down what support actually looks like, how to navigate the emotional weight of postpartum mental health, and how to stay connected even when things feel heavy.
Because you were never meant to walk through this alone—and your husband doesn’t have to feel lost in how to support you either.
💛 In This Episode, We Talk About:
- What postpartum depression and anxiety looked like in real life
- A husband’s perspective on navigating postpartum mental health
- Practical ways husbands can show up during this season
- Communication struggles (and what actually helps)
If this episode encouraged you, supported you, or helped you feel a little less alone, I want to invite you into a space where you don’t have to navigate postpartum by yourself.
Join my Postpartum on Purpose Bible Study Community where we walk through this season with faith, support, and real conversations about what motherhood actually looks like.
