Parenting is supposed to come naturally to us, right? Especially moms! After the baby (or babies in my case) arrives, those motherhood instincts are supposed to kick in and you are supposed to know exactly what to do, right? Wrong! Postpartum depression is real, and many mothers don't realize they are living with it. This leads to feelings of shame, guilt, and oftentimes resentment. Now you may be asking yourself, “Mike is not a mother, why is he talking about postpartum depression?” Well, my guest today, Suzanne Yatim Aslam, was living with postpartum depression and turned to writing to help manage her way through it. This ultimately led to a book called Post Pardon Me, which she came on Uncorking a Story to chat about. Meet Suzanne Yatim Aslam: Suzanne is a former actor and Miss Arab USA turned writer. Her personal experience with postpartum depression and anxiety left her feeling alone and confused. In her book Post Pardon Me, she addresses the dark thoughts that so many mothers have but are too scared to say out loud. She's thrilled to get this book into the hands of mothers who may be struggling with postpartum depression and anxiety. Key Topics: How Suzanne's mental health changed after becoming a mother. How she turned to writing and visualization to help process and manage her postpartum depression. How telling her story not only helped her address her feelings, but how her story has been therapeutic to other women who saw themselves on Suzanne's pages. Why Suzanne felt as if she had imposter syndrome when going through the publishing process. Why she'd tell her younger self to not take things so seriously and to play more.

As men, it's in our nature to want to fix things. And I'm not just talking about doing repairs around the house. I'm talking about how we deal with feelings, ours and those of our spouses. And I've definitely been that guy, trying to “fix” my wife's feelings.  But when's the last time that you paused for a moment and tried to really understand what she's going through?  Society expects women to be the perfect mothers right out of the gate. But, so many of them struggle with anxiety and depression during pregnancy and the postpartum period. So let's leave our egos at the doorstep here, fellas. The truth is, no one is born with the tools to be the perfect parent. Shocker, I know!  And no one knows this better than today's guest, Suzanne Aslam. Suzanne is a former actress and Miss Arab USA turned writer. She wrote Postpardon Me, a book about her spiral into postpartum depression and how she got out of it. Now, she helps other women experiencing postpartum depression feel more understood. In our conversation, we explore how the support from her husband (and fellow Front Row Dad Kasim Aslam) helped her to get through depression, how she freed herself from the cultural pressures about motherhood, and much more. If you want to learn how to build a deeper connection with your wife and be a better husband and role model to your children, Suzanne is the person to listen to.  Suzanne Aslam Podcast Highlights How to best support your wife when she's going through perinatal and postpartum depression? What happens when you're being present and empathetic with your wife, and not trying to “fix her”. Don't just wait for her to tell you when she needs your support. Read what she's going through, and be there for her no matter what. Taking turns with regular breaks from parenting to spend time with ourselves, even for a few hours, is a great way to recharge. We will fail as husbands and dads. And that's OK! Get the Full Show Notes Want access to the full show notes, including links to all resources mentioned during today's conversation?

This is an abbreviated version of the full podcast, also available here! Today with On The Edge Podcast, we're excited to talk to Author Suzanne Yatim Aslam. She's here to talk about her book ‘ Post Pardon Me.” The book is about a woman's spiral into post-pardon depression and anxiety and how she found her way out of it. We'll get into the book and a whole bunch of other stuff so stick around for this great interview! Suzanne introduces herself and her background. Suzanne is a first generation American who's parents came from the Bethlehem area. How does one go from escaping the Upper Peninsula to becoming Miss Arab USA? Let's talk about Human Rights. I get the impression that sometimes the USA is taking the definition of ‘human rights' a little too far, which devalues the meaning of actual human rights worldwide. What do you think? Scott talks about a trip he took to Palestine and Israel, one of the best and most informative trips he took in his life. Suzanne and Scott discuss religion and politics in the Middle East. Where did the idea for your book come from? Was it easy to make the decision to have children? Why did you decide to move forward with having kids instead of not having them, especially if you weren't confident about the decision? It's a lonely world after having a child and finding out that the whole situation is just super depressing. There's this inner guilt that you're supposed to be happy about the situation but for a lot of people it just isn't. Before Scott had kids, one of his friends gave him some great advice about the first few years of being a father. The truth is, it sucks most of the time. It seems like men seem to have this ‘bro talk' with each other, but women don't. Do you think that's true and why do women do this to each other? What was it like tackling the first emotions of having a child? Again, while the world says that everyone is supposed to just be super happy, that's not the reality for many parents. Dads worry about providing, moms worry about losing their entire work and social life. Traditional roles vs different solutions become a problem. How long does this last and how do you get over it? It takes a village to raise a kid. Is this really true? Did you experience this in your life? Nobody says the truth about parenting when they're going through the hard part. The truth is, many of us have the thought ‘I don't like my kid.” You're not supposed to say you don't like your kid. This was part of the inspiration for Suzanne's book, allowing parents to see that in print and know that they're not the only ones having the thought. We discuss the power of communication and couples asking each other exactly what they need and want.
