After a full year away from the mic, Getting Magnetic is back… but this time, it’s not about a schedule. It’s about sharing when we feel called.

In this comeback episode, Sandy gets raw and vulnerable for the first time about what really happened during Crew’s birth and the months that followed. From an intense labor and unexpected C-section, to the physical recovery that shook her… to the mental, emotional, and spiritual unraveling that no one prepares you for.

We talk about postpartum preeclampsia, sleep deprivation, panic attacks, paranoia, and the moment everything shifted when Sandy experienced a repressed memory surfacing one week postpartum — a moment that changed the entire trajectory of her healing journey and our marriage.

This is Part 1 of a multi-part postpartum series where we’ll share the full arc, the resources that helped, and bring on some of the key people who supported Sandy through the darkest season of our lives.

Trigger warning: This episode includes conversations around traumatic birth, postpartum anxiety/depression, postpartum psychosis, and sexual trauma. Please take care of yourself as you listen.

Part 2 picks up right as we take the first major step toward getting Sandy the right help — and it gets even more intense from there.
