Dan is very honest and raw in this episode, sharing the mental health difficulties that his wife, Kat, has been dealing with since her pregnancy with their daughter Ava. A difficult pregnancy, navigating the stresses of COVID and a birth that ended in an unwanted caesarean all being contributing factors to Kat's mental load entering motherhood. I had tears when we recorded this episode; listening to how Dan and Kat felt let down multiple times during postpartum was difficult to hear. In saying that, I do recommend being brave and listening to this episode - their story may help you or help you support someone you know.
