Surviving Postpartum Depression: Kayla’s Battle & Healing Journey

What happens when your dream of becoming a mother turns into your darkest battle?

In this deeply emotional and powerful episode of For the Hayters, Kayla Heckaman opens up about her journey through infertility, IVF, a surprise natural pregnancy—and the postpartum depression that nearly cost her everything. After years of fighting to become a mom, Kayla delivered her second son prematurely and soon found herself facing postpartum depression, anxiety, rage, and suicidal thoughts.

She shares what it was like to feel completely alone during a time that was supposed to be filled with joy, the moment she knew she needed help, and how she began to climb her way back. If you or someone you love is navigating postpartum struggles, this story will make you feel seen, supported, and understood.
