Welcome to EP04 of Beyond The Balls!
This episode is a chat between hosts Jayde Couldwell & Chi Lo and father of twins Luke O’Brien on his journey with mental health. We talk about male postpartum depression and tips on coping, what to expect when expecting and how to better prepare for children. Luke opened up his heart to us on the difficulties of being a father of twins and the depression that came with it. His bravery in wanting his story to help others is something we are grateful to share.
