Amanda shares her raw story of postpartum depression – a battle that began the day she found out she was unexpectedly pregnant and slowly spiraled into a suffocating abyss. But this isn’t just a book about postpartum depression. It’s a story for anyone who has ever faced despair, shame, or inner torment and wondered if freedom was possible.

With unfiltered honesty, Amanda describes the slow burn of intrusive thoughts, the moment the veil lifted and she saw the lies for what they were, and how surrendering everything to Jesus began her journey toward true healing. She talks about the battles that continued even after the breakthrough, and the beauty she discovered in the war.

Amanda and Shelly also discuss Amanda’s publishing journey with Redemption Press, the vulnerability of telling your story, and the unexpected ways God uses our deepest pain for His glory.

Whether you’ve faced depression, heartbreak, anxiety, or any other kind of darkness, this conversation will remind you that you’re not alone, and that Hope has a name: Jesus.
