Welcome back to the Messy Success Podcast! In today’s episode, Elizabeth sits down with life coach and mom of eight, Gloria Niemi, for a beautifully honest conversation about the emotional side of postpartum depression. Gloria opens up about what it was like to experience PPD seven times—and how she finally found a path to joy by healing the wounds beneath the surface. Together, they talk about the power of asking for help, the guilt so many moms carry, and why your purpose might be the key to feeling whole again. Whether you’re in the thick of motherhood or supporting someone who is, this episode will give you the words, warmth, and wisdom you didn’t know you needed.
