Motherhood isn’t always Instagram-perfect. Sometimes it’s tears, panic, guilt, and intrusive thoughts you’re too scared to admit.

In this episode of Brutally Human, we get unapologetically real about postpartum depression. We cover:

• What it is and why it happens (hint: hormones are chaos)

• The silent, scary thoughts many moms keep to themselves

• What friends, family, and partners should and should not do

• Practical coping strategies, therapy insights, and grounding techniques

• Why seeking professional help is not a weakness — it’s survival

You are not broken, you are not failing, and you deserve help.

Society loves to shame “addicts.” But what about the Starbucks fiends, scratch-off junkies, dopamine-chasing doomscrollers, and fantasy football maniacs? In this episode of Brutally Human, we get uncomfortably real about everyday addictions that everyone ignores — and yes, that probably includes you.

We’re calling out hypocrisy, pointing fingers… and forcing you to stare in the mirror. If you laugh, cringe, and mutter “oh shit… that’s me,” congratulations — this episode did its job.

Remember Tom? The guy who just wanted to be everyone’s friend on MySpace? Yeah, we failed him—and now we’re stuck with Mark “Suckerberg” and a social media world that’s frying our brains. In this episode of Brutally Human, I’m calling out the toxic dumpster fire that is modern social media, breaking down the actual psychology of why it’s wrecking our mental health, and reminding you that maybe it’s time for a tolerance break.

👉 Plus, grab the exclusive “I Failed Tom” shirt at Petty Merch if you’re ready to admit your part in killing MySpace (just to stick it to Zuck).

Because let’s be honest—social media isn’t that serious.
