In this powerful episode, you will hear the inspiring story of Monica Olano, a mother from New Orleans whose life took an unexpected turn after the traumatic birth of her twins. Struggling with severe postpartum depression and anxiety, Monica initially turned to alcohol as a coping mechanism, only to find it worsening her ability to care for her three young children.
