    Postpartum Depression (10 years later)

    It's her oldest's 10th birthday which means she’s been a mom for a decade, and Colleen takes a look back at her viral Scary Mommy post from ten years ago about her struggle with postpartum depression.  This episode isn’t really about kids, though. It’s about what nobody told her when she became a mom. It’s about postpartum depression, identity loss, brain chemistry, rage crying, and the relief of finally realizing ohhhh wait, I’m not broken… I just need sleep and probably a Prozac prescription. Colleen reads an essay she wrote 10 years ago (that went viral on Scary Mommy) called “Why Didn’t Anyone Tell Me About the Darkness,” and then reflects on the human she’s become since. If you’ve ever felt like you were drowning in early motherhood—or just life in general—you’ll feel seen, heard, and slightly more normal after this one.

    I Can Talk to Dead People

    This episode of Tell Me Immediately is a ride—so buckle up. We're covers period parties (yep, that’s a thing), telepathic communication, and the fact that I can apparently talk to dead people. Casual. What’s Inside This Episode? 💃 Period Parties?!  Are we celebrating or oversharing? Would teenage you have survived your mother throwing one of these? (Absolutely not.) 🧠 The Telepathy Tapes: Have you heard of this podcast? Turns out, nonverbal autistic children and young adults might be telepathically communicating with each other. Across the world. Without ever meeting. It's life changing.  👻 Oh, Also—Talking to Dead People. No, really. It started after my dad passed, and now I occasionally get full-on spirit messages for people. It happened again this week. Twice. So naturally, I’m questioning everything I know about reality and wondering how one “practices” mediumship. Do I need a mentor? A business card? A ghost hotline? (Help.) If you’ve ever questioned the limits of consciousness, debated whether we’re really alone, or just want to hear me process the absolute weirdness of my life—this episode is for you.
