Dounii Stories: Naomi & Mickey - The Power of Support During Postpartum
Naomi and Micky, a same-sex couple, about their journey to becoming parents. We talk about everything—from choosing sperm and doing IUI, to the surprise of having twins, and all the highs and lows that came with it. Naomi gets really real about postpartum depression and living with bipolar, and how having Micky’s support made all the difference. We also dig into what it’s like to navigate parenting as a same-sex couple, the unexpected challenges, and the ways love and partnership can carry you through even the hardest moments. This episode is honest, heartfelt, and a reminder that building a family doesn’t come without struggles—but it’s worth it.
