Postpartum OCD, Intrusive Thoughts & Making Peace with a Noisy Mind!

November 2, 2026 · 1 h 1 min

Show notes

Did you know roughly 1 in 6 postpartum women experience OCD symptoms? It is one of those things that is way more common than we realize and not talked about enough! This week, Sarah is joined by Jenna Overbaugh, LPC, an anxiety and OCD expert with nearly 20 years of experience, personal experience with OCD, AND an upcoming book, Making Peace with a Noisy Mind.

They get into the nitty-gritty of postpartum OCD, intrusive vs. ruminating thoughts, and the scary thoughts so many moms are terrified to say out loud for fear of being labeled a “bad mom.” Plus, we discuss what to look out for, how to support someone you love, and how to get help without shame or judgment. Because this is WAY more common than expected ❤️
