You’re holding your baby. Maybe your partner is in the next room. You’re surrounded by people—and yet, you feel completely alone.

In this heartfelt solo episode of Let’s Thrive Postpartum, host Kelly Siebold opens up about her personal experience with postpartum depression and the deep loneliness that followed. She shares what it felt like to feel invisible in early motherhood, why so many moms experience this kind of isolation, and what actually helps.

Whether you’re newly postpartum or months (or years) into motherhood, this episode is for any mom who has ever thought:“Why do I feel so lonely when I’m never alone?”

You’ll learn:

• Why postpartum loneliness is so common—but rarely talked about
• How postpartum depression and anxiety contribute to feelings of isolation
• The 4 types of social support every mom needs (and how to find them)
• Low-pressure ways to reconnect with yourself and others—starting today
• A personal story of healing, hope, and what helped Kelly survive the hardest moments

This isn’t about having the perfect support system. It’s about taking one small step out of the dark—and knowing you don’t have to do this alone.
