Motherhood Is Celebrated — But Mothers Are Often Forgotten In this powerful NBC interview, Carly Church, founder of We Got You, Mama, speaks openly about the real, unfiltered realities of postpartum life and early motherhood — the parts that rarely make it into baby books, baby showers, or casual conversations.
While our culture celebrates babies, it often overlooks the emotional, physical, and mental health challenges mothers face after giving birth. And the truth is clear: motherhood isn’t broken — the support system is. With 1 in 5 women experiencing postpartum depression and over 60% of moms reporting feelings of isolation, this conversation shines a light on why so many mothers struggle silently — and why they were never meant to do this alone.
From Postpartum Anxiety to Rebuilding the Village Carly shares her personal journey through postpartum anxiety, raising three children across different stages of motherhood, and the moment she realized just how little support exists for moms — especially in the early postpartum period. Her book, We Got You, Mama, was born from one recurring thought: “I just wish I knew this.” In this interview, Carly explains why she’s on a mission to give mothers the resources, education, and community she wishes she had — from the newborn stage through toddlers, teens, and beyond. Because when you become a mother, you’re postpartum forever — and support should never expire.
What This Interview Covers In this NBC segment, you’ll learn: What postpartum actually means (and why it applies to every mother) Why moms feel pressured to “bounce back” before they’ve healed How the postpartum brain is biologically rewired Why isolation is one of the biggest threats to maternal mental health The myth of “doing it all” and why it’s harming mothers How villages used to support moms — and why we must rebuild them
Why supporting mothers benefits children, families, and entire communities Carly also discusses how modern motherhood often expects women to: Breastfeed like nothing changed Return to work while still healing Normalize exhaustion, anxiety, and physical pain Figure everything out alone — usually at 3 a.m. while Googling for answers And why none of that is normal — or acceptable.
