The ride home with a newborn is supposed to feel magical, so why does it sometimes feel terrifying? We’re joined in the studio by Emily Thibodeaux, a new mom from Church Point, Louisiana, who opens up about postpartum depression and the quiet thoughts that can follow you through those first weeks. We talk about the hospital blur, the shock of realizing your world just changed overnight, and the strange mix of joy and fear that can live in the same moment.

We also get real about postpartum anxiety, sleep deprivation, and the pressure to “do it right.” From breastfeeding struggles to feeling like you’re no longer yourself, we name the guilt that shows up when you step away for an errand, take a shower, or simply admit you need help. Emily shares why shame keeps so many mothers silent, and we reflect on how earlier generations carried postpartum mental health battles with fewer resources and even less permission to talk.

What helped most for Emily wasn’t a perfect routine, it was people. We dig into how faith, family, and community support can hold you up when you feel like you’re barely surviving, including a simple SOS text system that lets a friend pray for you right away with no explanations required. If you’re a new mom, love a new mom, or want to understand postpartum depression with more compassion, this conversation is for you. Subscribe, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a review so more moms can find this when they feel alone.

First-Time Mom Identity Shock

SPEAKER_01

No, I felt the same way.

SPEAKER_02

I remember s stepping away to go to the grocery store the first time, and I felt like I was walking naked. You know, because there was no more me. It was me and this baby. Yes. You know. Um, and now I just want to tell you that that gets better because then your kids start aggravating you and you're more than happy.

SPEAKER_03

More than happy to get a break.

SPEAKER_00

Welcome to Coffee Talk with the Cajun Mamas. Grab a cup of coffee, settle in, and let's dive into real conversations about life, motherhood, and a little inspiration to brighten your day.

SPEAKER_04

All right, y'all. Welcome to Coffee Talk with the Cajun Mamas. We are um joined by a special guest today in studio with us, Miss Emily Thieberot. Yes, ma'am. Welcome. Um, first we're gonna start off by thanking our sponsor for March, Little Pearls Pediatric Dentistry in Lafayette Louis.

SPEAKER_05

That's what it is. We got it.

SPEAKER_04

Little Pearls. Little Pearls. I love the little logo. It's so cute. So cute. Um, okay, y'all. Little Pearls Pediatric Dentistry is focused on child oral health, age oral health from ages zero to 15. Did you know you're supposed to bring your baby baby to the dentist? I did not know that. Um, and then I also didn't know when I had a kid that as soon as their little teeth start coming out, you're supposed to brush them.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. And I I mean I mean, it seems like you should know that, but you don't think about that. No other things you got going on. No, but thankfully, Dr. Dr. Ansley Oye is there to remind you that you need to brush them dolls.

SPEAKER_04

I know. I really felt bad when I when I first realized like Brynn had been having teeth for a while before I was like, oh my God, I need to put that little thing on my finger and scrub their little teeth, you know? Yeah. But anyway, um, she actually offers a complimentary visit for you for your first visit uh if your kids under two years of age, which I think is cool. Like most people don't do that. Yeah. Um, and I feel like that also gets them comfortable with going to the dentist too. Like she, this is her specialty. So you're gonna you you're gonna have a good, comfortable experience there with your child. It's very much geared toward making them feel comfortable and safe and fun, like making it fun for the kids.

SPEAKER_02

And everybody in the office is so sweet, let me just say. I got to meet them the other day and they were just so welcoming, so sweet. It's just a nice, it was a nice environment. Environment, right.

So thank you, Little Pearls Pediatric Dentistry, for being our sponsor this month.

Why Postpartum Depression Matters

SPEAKER_02

Thank you so much. And it's perfect that y'all are our sponsor this month because today we are talking with uh Emily Thibodeau primarily on uh postbortom depression. Um I just thought um actually I'm gonna give y'all a little backstory on how all this came to be. All right, we was at the Morty Girl, me and Emily, and I've been knowing her since she was little, and we kind of like the the person who watched me and and like kind of raised me is her aunt, right? Miss Paula?

SPEAKER_06

Correct.

SPEAKER_02

Okay. So I just kind of been knowing her for a while, and and we go to church together. We don't really talk or nothing like that. It's just we're acquaintances. And then at the Marty Girl, we started talking because at Marty Girl, that's what you do, you talk to people. And um, she was like, I listen to you podcasts, I got my friends listening. I really think maybe you should do a a podcast on the post on postpartum depression. I said, Well, maybe you should come. Uh-huh. Did do you, you know, and she was like, Um, okay, let me pray. I said, well, pray about it. She tried to be pray about it.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Pray about it and let's, you know, let's see how it goes. You know, so I'm just so excited to have you here. So welcome. Thank you. Um tell us a little bit about yourself and uh how all this started.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, so I'm Emily Thibodeau, 30 years old. Uh I've been married for four years now, to Coi. We've been together for eight. Um, born and raised, still live in Church Point, Louisiana. Uh like you said, we went Mardi Gras and got to talking about our babies and postpartum, and I was looking for advice and you trapped me into coming up there and telling my story.

Birth Blur And The First Nights

SPEAKER_02

But yeah, I mean it is a story that so many like they I always as a mama, I'm always like, you know, there's so many things that you don't expect. Absolutely, yeah. You know, or they say you might get this, but you don't realize it's happening to you. Right. You know, so I'm like, okay, well, yeah, let's let's hear about that journey for you. Yeah, you know.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, so um I got pregnant last February, so we right around a year that you know we've been going through this, but um I feel like during your pregnancy you're very distracted, you know, with your appointments and the excitement of it all the nursery and the baby shower, and um, you know, a lot of mamas did tell me, you know, prepare for this and you know how to cope and start praying, get your prayers in, and my mom especially, she had suffered with it. So I always heard about it, but until you're in it, you don't understand the impact it has on you and the guilt and the shame you have that comes with it. So um fast forward to November, we had Liza, and it's very surreal, you know. In the hospital, it seems like such a blur where honestly don't remember much of it. Um I felt like everyone else took care of Liza, like Koy, our parents, our friends that came and I just didn't sleep for two days and we're just there. Yeah, just in a room full of people, you feel it's a shock.

SPEAKER_04

It's a shock to your body, it's a shock to you to your reality because all of a sudden the this little baby is everything. Right. Like your world stops, and everything is about this little baby, and you in charge of keeping it alive, okay. I'll never forget realizing like the nursing and stuff, and that didn't come. I just thought, oh, we're gonna plop it, plop the baby on, and it's just gonna nobody tells you the struggles of nursing, nobody tells you how you're gonna feel like outside of your body, so to speak. Like you just feel it's just it's weird, and yeah, the weight of like you responsible now to this baby alive and going and yeah, yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_06

For two days, we you know, I stayed in the hospital and I would just watch her sleep, and you know, it's quiet, and um, I didn't even have the capacity to pray or to even realize what was about to happen, you know, and then you go home, and that's the reality of you know, this is my responsibility, our world has changed, and um and just to start it off, you know, uh the first night we got home, and by the way, I'm so blessed, like our our parents, our friends, you know, I had all my dishes done, all the laundry was done, I had a big roast on on the stove when we got home.

SPEAKER_04

Literally, you all you really needed to do was was feed and love on that baby.

SPEAKER_06

Yes, all I had to do was enjoy.

SPEAKER_04

That's how it was for for for me too.

SPEAKER_06

And man, we just we broke down when we got home. Like my mom was like, okay, you know, we leave in, and I'm like, uh-oh. Whoa, you know, yeah, like this baby's gonna look at me the way I look at my mom. And that's heavy, you know. Oh wow, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's and uh just you know, you kind of I in that moment I kind of felt not worthless, but not worthy of an angel on earth in my hands from God that it's now my time to take care of this. The pressure of that is very overwhelming, you know. So um, yeah.

SPEAKER_04

And isn't it weird how you can feel those feelings in the at the same time as feeling all the love and the joy? It's like they coexist, they coincide, which I think makes it even more overwhelming because like it's so confusing. Like you're overwhelmed with joy, but you also overwhelm with fear, yes, and just the unknown and the responsibility, but like at the same time, you wouldn't change a second of it, right?

SPEAKER_06

But it's very it's overwhelming. Yeah, I I remember my whole pregnancy, I was like, I can't wait to be off of work, you know, those six weeks, which is not a lot of time, but it's not I flew by. Yeah, it was the fastest of my life. But yeah, I remember telling my mom, like, I'm gonna drink my coffee and we're gonna watch our shows and just you know, snuggle. And y'all, I sat on that couch like distraught, you know, and I would look out the window waiting for you know, my mom would come help me at the time. Um, and my mother-in-law, I would just wait by the door for like someone else to come do this. Yeah, like because I just don't know if I'm worthy or if I can, and yeah, ooh, it was or if you're doing it right. Right, yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Every decision, like you you second guess and you overthink, and like if the I mean, in my case, like Brent, my firstborn, she she didn't sleep much. Like, I didn't know if that was normal or not. You know, you see these shows and movies and all stuff, and they like babies sleep, they just sleep all the time, and it's like mine didn't. And she would catnap like fift ten, fifteen minutes all throughout the day, and like I just couldn't get nothing done. And I just remember calling my mother-in-law one day crying, like something's wrong with her, something's wrong with my baby, she will not sleep. And my mother, bless her heart, she's like, You're just you're you're tired, you're exhausted. Like, let me come, I'ma come, I'll I'll watch her while you get some rest. And the sleep deprivation makes it even worse.

Guilt Anxiety And Scary Thoughts

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, like you sleepwalking, yeah, literally. I remember when you said I was just staring out the window, I was like, I remember having Roz and I was in a place in my life where I could relax. You know, my kids were at school, and it was just me and Roz. And I just would look out the window and I'm like, oh my god, this is what I wanted all my life, but now what do I do? Yeah, you know. But one thing about being a first-time mom, um, and I totally remember this uh when I was when I had Isla, was now I am not me anymore. I am me and this person. Yeah, you know, you're with your husband, he's kind of his own entity, whatever. But this is mine, okay? And and it's probably not really like that, you know, obviously. But I felt the same way. I remember stepping away to go to the grocery store the first time, and I felt like I was walking naked. Yeah. You know, because there was no more me. It was me and this baby. Yes, you know. Um, and now I just want to tell you that that gets better because then your kids start aggravating you and you're more than happy to get away. More than happy to get a break. You know, a break. Yeah. Um, but I just remember that feeling so naked and like, oh God, what am I doing? If it's if I step away, I'm not a good mama. If if I have to step away, you know. And I remember them saying, Um, if you can't do it or if you're getting too frustrated, give the baby on to the your partner. And luckily, Chase wasn't as frustrated as me at the time. I was frustrated, so it kind of balanced out. Yes. And I would say, here you go. And then I would step away, maybe go take a shower or something. And then by the time I was finished with that, I was ready to come back. Because you're not doing it as good as me. Let me just say, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But you know my baby. Yeah. But you feel better after that. But it's just like it is a whole identity thing, too, because it's like, okay, now it's not just me anymore. I can't just go and do. Um, I can't, you know, I can't like pick up and go to Walmart. Maybe then that's probably the most I know, but it's it's weird.

SPEAKER_04

Like your mind plays tricks on you and you feel almost trapped in a way. Yes. You feel like you're no longer you.

SPEAKER_06

Like you're like, Like you aren't allowed to do those things anymore. Yes. Because you feel guilty about it, you know, like, or if something would bad would happen, like I went to doom.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Like, she's gonna fall on the concrete. I'm gonna drop her when I'm walking. Like, I'm gonna die in a car wreck, I'm gonna leave her motherless. Yeah. Like that's me. And I'm like, I was like, this is gonna be my fault. You know, it's no one, it's not my husband's or anyone. And I had to learn to uh kind of let go that responsibility. My mother-in-law says, our kids are for God, not for us. So it's that's hard though. Because you're like, you feel so responsible, and it's you have to give it to God because you go crazy.

SPEAKER_02

That's what a good mother-in-law says. Yes, I am. Oh man, she's great. I got two mamas for sure. Yes, I'm blessed. It's good to have that person though, that can be the voice of reason that can totally relate to you at the time. And sometimes, you know, it seems like our parents, well, you did that so long ago and it's so different, but it's really not that much different, you know. Like we always say, Oh, they they they we did this and y'all okay. Yes, our kids are gonna be okay too.

SPEAKER_06

And I want to raise them just how I was raised. So, you know, I I put that trust in them, and it's we're almost four months postpartum now, so I'm almost at a 180, you know. I still have the mental confidence to come back and um, you know, the exercising and all the try to get back to some type of normal state, you know. Yeah, but we're getting there, so I mean compared to the first six weeks to now is like uh getting used to it, you know, but she's still fresh.

Healing Body And Finding Normal

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, yeah. After like I have to after I have so many. After I had these last two, it was like I wanted to get back to working out and I wanted to do this, and then my friend Kate that works at um, she's the the at the gym in town at Evolve, she was like, you know, your body's really not gonna come back until a year after you have the baby. You it's okay to give yourself time and grace. And I was so tired of people saying, give yourself grace, give yourself grace, but your body has just gone through something so major that like you have to. And so once she told me that, she was like, You're not gonna be like, it's gonna be okay. Just do something with yourself, just move your body, yeah. You know, don't be too hard on yourself because I was hardcore in the gym, like I had lost all kind of weight, I was slim and trim, and then I go pop, get pregnant again and twice. So you know, don't be too hard on yourself about that either. Because I had to come out of that and still like I keep going back to working out, but it's always a struggle and mentally trying to get myself back moving just because now you got all this extra weight on you and and um not necessarily weight, I'm talking about like the kids weight um and the mental weight on you, yeah. And that's just another thing that's me that I got to but it's good to go for a walk sometimes because let me tell you what, I come back with a good in a good headspace after I take a nice prayer walk. Yes.

SPEAKER_06

My mom had mentioned to me how you know her journey with postpartum, like you said, 30 years ago, there wasn't Netflix or Facebook, and she was telling me all this, like you know, there wasn't any distractions to get her through those times.

SPEAKER_04

And that's a good point. Yeah. You're just really sitting at home alone with your baby and soap operas and prices, right? That's all you have, you know.

SPEAKER_06

Not kept my mom, but you know, but um, it really put it into perspective for me or a phone call from a friend, something that easy. Like back then it wasn't like that, you know. I had to turn down lots of visitors because in the hospital I was, yeah, you come on Monday and you'll be Tuesday. Oh my gosh. I got home and I said, I'll call y'all later.

SPEAKER_04

No wonder we were worn out because all them visitors Oh, I didn't want no after the first one.

SPEAKER_02

I was like, Y'all don't come to the hospital. I'ma see you when I get home. But you get that after, you know. Yeah, but on the first one, you're like, Oh yeah, we're gonna do this, I'm gonna be fine. And then it's just it it's it rocks your world really good. That's the best in the best way by you know, yeah, absolutely.

SPEAKER_04

So what did your your mom went through it pretty bad?

SPEAKER_06

Yes, like my brother had colic, and I think he was worse than me, but um just Was he her first? I was the first. You're the first, okay. Yeah, so her second baby was even worse than I was. But um you know how tough mama herself that you know you gotta get up and raise them kids, you know? Uh dad went back to work and mama stayed home and you know, no phones, no probably no cable at the time, honestly. But yeah. Uh questioning if she was crazy or you know, you had so much. Yeah. It's a shame because you you look at your child like it don't feel like mine. You know, that's some of the thoughts I had. You know, it's like a stranger in your house that, oh my gosh, am I gonna bond with this baby? You know, why? Because everyone kind of talks it up like it's euphoric and it's it's actually very traumatizing, you know, and beautiful at the same time. But it's it's very confusing. And you know, the girl older she gets, obviously, we're so in love with her, you know. But the her eyes are open and she's cooing, and it's you know, I know as we get better, it's gonna get better as we get older. Yes. Um, it does get better. Yeah, it's you don't want to tell someone, you know, I'm never doing this again. Because in the moment I was like, this is gonna be my only child because I can't do this again, you know.

Prayer Circle And SOS Support

SPEAKER_02

But I know we have a friend that was like that too. Um I don't want to say her name, but uh she was like, I I couldn't, I can't, I couldn't have any more. And it was years before she had another baby, and it's just like you the older you get too, I feel like it's you learn through it, and but then also I'm just like thinking about your mama in those times, and it just wasn't talked about, you know, like your mental struggles were your mental struggles, and that's probably why she thought you was crazy, yeah. You know, because like nobody was out there telling her that this was completely normal, right? You know, and so we have that though, and that's one of the reasons I wanted to have you on here. Um, just I mean, I know, I know you are probably looking for me to give you this great advice on it, but like tell me how to cope with it. I know, I I really wish I could tell you that, but man, the only thing that got me through was people being able talking like this, people being able to tell me, you know what, you're not alone. And it's gonna be okay. Yeah you know, eventually. Like when you're sick and you're really, really down, and like you got the flu, and you like, I'm never I I look at the people on TV and I think, oh, look at them. They're just in their best life right now, and I'm gonna die in this bed right now. And like in a couple of days, you're up, you're doing the thing, you know. But it it just it it will be it will get better. Um, and I always say, as long as you, you know, as long as you keep Jesus at the uh at the forefront, and I know that's what people say, that's what people say, but I feel like social media is good for some things, like we find a lot of prayers. My husband sends me prayers all the time, reels, and they're all prayers, and sometimes I'm like, oh Lord, I don't have time to listen to this preacher right now, or I'm in a place where I can't listen to this preacher right now. But this morning he sent me one and then I sent it to you. Yeah, and then just keeping a prayer circle open, we also, you know, like we have a uh a group chat that's a prayer. We call our our our mom to rage is what we call our friends, and I know you got a little group of friends, you know. Um, and just keeping those lines of communication open. Yeah, and like I have a friend, uh Justine, I'll bring up Justine again. Sometimes she's just like, I need to talk. Oh, and I called her one day, she's like, Okay, um, I just need to be in. Okay. Or she'll and one day I'm like, listen, I need you to pray for me right now. She was like, just whenever that happens, so she already had like a system in place for that and friends that do this with her. And uh she said, just send me an SOS um emoji. She said, and I'm not gonna ask you anything, I'm just gonna stop what I'm doing, I'm gonna pray for you right then.

SPEAKER_05

Nice.

SPEAKER_02

And I thought, how and you know, Justine. If Justine's feeling some type of way, she's just like, hey, I have a migraine right now, how can I pray for you?

SPEAKER_06

That's how my mother-in-law is. So like serving God and give your suffering to God.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. And I'm just like, man, okay, so I'm I'm trying to be more like that. So anyway, I sent her an SOS on Monday. Okay? On Monday, I sent her an SOS. Sent her one for me today. She started praying, she started praying, she started praying, and I'm telling you in an hour, I was like, she texted me, she was like, How you feeling? I'm like, I'm feeling so much better, thank you so much. She didn't ask me what happened, and um, and we couldn't figure it out. I couldn't figure out why I was having a bad day on Monday, and then she was like, That's because we have an interview with a Katie, a Catholic, a Katie and a Catholic, and we're doing this postpartum. Anytime, and I'm sure you've heard heard us say this before. Anytime we have something we want to help somebody with or we know is going to be good for you know us and them, we always get an attack attack by the devil.

SPEAKER_06

So anyway, yeah, uh I say the prayers of my loved ones got me through those beginning weeks because you're not praying at that time. You can't you survive, you just surviving, yeah, in your

SPEAKER_04

Mind is not right in its right mind because you're sleep deprived, you're overworked, you're overstressed, you're overwhelmed. Yeah. Yeah. I'd like to.

SPEAKER_06

Just insist. Oh my gosh. I just love her so much.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, me too. Oh my gosh. And so listen, anytime you need us, or send me an SOS. I go send me an SOS. And then start that, you know, pass that forward. I just thought that was so powerful that I I needed to be able to do that.

SPEAKER_04

Sometimes you don't have time to explain anything either. You just like I'm just so about to lose my mind. I need this right now.

SPEAKER_02

And so SOS. And and that, tell your friends, okay, let's start this Justine movement. I don't know who started it. Maybe it wasn't just and and and get praying for your friends. Pray for yourself, but pray, you know, and your family, but your friends, reach out to them. Reach out to your your new mama friends, reach out to your old mama friends because they're lonely. You know, they're looking, they need somebody. So just reach out and and make sure that we all taking care of each other because it takes a village sometimes.

Seeking Help And Neighborly Support

SPEAKER_04

Absolutely. Let me ask you this did you seek help outside as far as like from you, doctor, or anything like that about it? I did not. Okay. No.

SPEAKER_02

And they always come with their little surveys.

SPEAKER_04

Surveys, yeah.

SPEAKER_06

But if I was honest, I was scared what they would uh Oh what they would do. Yeah, I know what you mean. I gave it to prayer and my family and friends. And that's always what gets me through, you know. Um, and I was shocked, like girls in the community my age reaching out to me like that I've never spoken to before. I know like you said, acquaintances, and I'm I know who they are, but right hey, I have some extra diapers. Hey, I have this and bottles and formula, and I it was amazing. Like at least 10 girls reached out to me. That's awesome. So I'm like, I gotta carry on the you know, one of my good friends just had her third baby, but I'm like, hey girl, how you doing?

SPEAKER_04

You know, like just making sure they're good and and you never know you know what the Bible says what the enemy means for harm, God will use for good. And I don't believe that God like wanted you to have to go through this, but at the same time, we live in a fallen world, absolutely, we go through struggles, but he can use it for his glory and for good. And your your testimony, your testimony, my testimony, who else will it help? And and that's you know, I'm he's gonna use it, and you're gonna be able to help encourage other mamas to get through these times.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, yeah, everyone tune in.

SPEAKER_02

And yeah, and just being able just coming on here and and talking with us, and you'd be like, okay, now I can SOI. I've got some more people to SOS, I've got some more people on my side. Oh, and we already are. We already are. So there you go.

SPEAKER_06

Yes. My next oh, that's all she does.

SPEAKER_02

Oh that second one's always bad though. That second one though. It's no issue when that comes.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, right, it's gonna be a whole nother deal. Right. Be stronger next time. Oh, listen.

SPEAKER_04

Well, you'll be a little prepared. Like you won't be prepared, yeah. You'll be a little more relaxed. Uh the second baby I for sure was more relaxed in things where I'm like, I'm not too worried about that. It'll be okay. You know, that's why they're all bad. Probably so babies. Probably so. They just get away with it because we get away with it, yeah. Yes, we're not worried.

SPEAKER_02

Well, thank you so much for coming on here. Thank you all for having me. Uh this was wonderful. This was wonderful. I'm so glad that we met up from Morty Girl and we were able to talk freely with our little beers. Yes. Um, because then maybe this episode wouldn't happen, and hopefully, if if this resonates with you or if you know someone who might be going through this, please share this episode with them because we want to kind of reach out as many and just let everybody know that you're not alone and it's it will it will come back, it will be okay. Yes. So, all right, with that, well, the end of this, we're going to thank uh Little Pearls Dentistry. It's pediatric dentistry. Yes. For your little ones. And you know, it's nice to have these places like this where your kids can go and they're not scared to go to the dentist. Yes. It's never a problem when you go to a place like what uh Ainsley has, okay? She is a skilled pediatric dentist and she's um she's a caring provider. She believes every child should have the opportunity to uh go and without a traumatic experience to their first dentist appointment, right? Because you just never know what you're doing.

I wish I'd have brought my oldest to a place like this because let's just say like I mean, I I'm not trying to be ugly, but not all dentists are good with kids. And my poor little girl was kind of traumatized after the first time we went to the dentist. Right. And and we we good now, but you want to start those good dental habits early and you know, going to Dr. Ainsley and her staff, you'll be alright.

SPEAKER_02

And I feel like somebody who is geared only to pediatric dentistry, like they're they're used to working, yes, you know, and and the fears that they have and all the things. So she's trying to make it a uh a positive part of uh childhood. Yeah. And so if you are if you're looking for a dentist for your child and you are in the Lafayette area, she's located at 2912 Johnston Street, um, kind of behind Mel's Diner and next to Aveda in that shopping center. Um, and you can uh see more on her website at LittlePearlsDDS.com, or you can call her at 337-568-0322. Thank you so much for being our sponsor, and thank you so much for listening. See y'all next time.
