There is no reason to believe that. And that's one of the biggest lies that is implanted first into our hearts. I battled that for the longest time. For four years, I kept it all buried in and battled it myself when I could have released it a little bit at a time.
Julie Thomas's story is one many women might find familiar yet often unspoken. In this episode of 'Anchored by the Sword', Julie shares her deeply personal battle with postpartum depression following the birth of her second son. For years, she wrestled with anxiety, confusion, and an overwhelming sense of shame, leading her down a path of isolation and even suicidal thoughts.

She talks about the pivotal moment when she felt a divine push to start sharing her story, despite the fear and spiritual battles that ensued. Her journey didn't just end with finding her own voice; it extended to helping others find theirs. By speaking out in small groups and eventually through her book 'Hope Inside Out', Julie discovered a sense of freedom she never thought possible.
This episode isn't just a story of struggle; it's a beacon of hope, showing that even in our darkest times, sharing our experiences can lead to profound healing. If you're feeling alone in your battle, Julie's story might be the reminder you need that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
