Motherhood isn’t always picture-perfect—and for many women, the journey is filled with silent struggles that go unseen and undiscussed.
In this deeply personal episode of Conversations with Intent, Arden O’Connor speaks with Lindsay Halliday, a clinical case manager and mother of three, about her emotional path through infertility, miscarriage, and postpartum depression (PPD). Lindsay opens up about the highs and lows of becoming a parent—sharing her experience with fertility tracking, invasive testing, and a devastating misdiagnosis, all while trying to remain hopeful.
She also bravely discusses her postpartum depression, a condition she didn’t recognize at first despite her background in mental health. Thanks to a routine screening at her 8-week postpartum visit, she was able to get the help she needed—and later took proactive steps to protect her mental health before the birth of her twins.
This episode challenges the myth of “perfect motherhood” and encourages honest, supportive conversations about maternal mental health and the real-life challenges behind growing a family.
Topics Covered:
The emotional impact of miscarriage and infertility
Navigating pregnancy after loss
Recognizing and treating postpartum depression (PPD)
The importance of mental health screenings for new moms
Proactive care: antidepressants before and after delivery
Breaking the silence around motherhood and mental health
