In 2021, I gave birth to my first child at 27 weeks. I felt completely alone. No one understood, and social media made it worse. Everyone else seemed fine, and I felt like a failure. That isolation became mental illness. When I opened up online, I found others like me, parents who knew the fear, guilt, and pain. Now I’m creating that same space for others. The Silent Struggles Podcast shares the pain you don’t talk about and the doubts you hide. I’m Michelle, your host. We break the silence, one story at a time.
