Meds & Motherhood: Navigating Mental Health with Marla Sablyak

I just wanted to mention, you know, this podcast isn't just about sobriety, it's just here as a platform for people to tell stories about their mental health and help, hopefully, help others and inspire others and really help people get honest with themselves about whatever they need, whatever that looks like.
Motherhood is challenging enough without the added weight of mental health struggles. In this episode of 'Soberland', Lindsay Cowan chats with Marla Sablyak, who opens up about her journey with PMDD and depression. Marla shares her decision to try antidepressants and how this choice has impacted her life as a mother. The conversation is raw and real, touching on difficult topics like self-harm and suicidal thoughts. But it's not all heavy; there's a thread of hope and support woven throughout.
Both Lindsay and Marla emphasize the importance of therapy and a solid support system. They also tackle societal pressures on mothers and how humor can be a lifeline when dealing with anxiety. This episode isn't just about sobriety; it's about creating a space where people can share their mental health journeys openly and honestly. If you're a parent or someone grappling with mental health issues, this conversation offers both comfort and insight.
