In this episode Jonna starts a conversation with her good friend Colleen, mama of 2 under 2 and Physician Assistant about Postpartum Depression and Anxiety (PPD/PPA). While the spectrum of PPD/PPA can't possibly be covered in 15 to 30 minutes, they talk about the grace required to steward a PPD/PPA journey and the spectrum of symptoms mamas might experience.

Stay tuned for Part 2 where Jonna and Colleen get more into the meat of how to take action in your PPD/PPA journey. And how to fight the shame and lies Satan can throw your way.
