The Samis: Postpartum Depression, Fertility Diagnosis & Loving Yourself Through the Hard Stuff
Show notes
Sami Clarke and Sam Spalter are back on the mic together, and this one feels like being let into their actual FaceTime. Two best friends, two wildly different seasons: Sam deep in new motherhood, still navigating the rawness of postpartum, and Sami fresh off a yes-summer in Ibiza and London, sitting with the quiet ache of watching everyone around her have babies while wanting that life for herself too.
Tune in as they go there, all the way there. Sam opens up about the panic attacks, the emergency C-section shame, the breastfeeding that didn't work, and the moment she finally told Sami how low the lows really were. Sami shares a fertility diagnosis she'd been scared to face, learning she has endometriosis and PCOS, and the emotional shift from "what is wrong with me" to "how can I love you more, body." And somewhere in the middle of all of it, they talk about the grass always being greener, crying to Yellow by Coldplay in the car, and why the most healing thing either of them did was just tell the truth.
This episode is also a love letter to the friendships that don't just show up for the highlight reel. The ones who fly out at 11 days postpartum, give you permission to not form a sentence, and text you "I'm so excited to see your new normal" before they even land. If you've ever held back the ugly truth because you thought you should only feel grateful right now, this one will meet you exactly where you are.
