134. Katie Lowes on Miscarriage, Postpartum Depression & Motherhood

Katie Lowes is getting brutally honest about motherhood, miscarriage, postpartum depression, marriage, aging, body image, and the identity shifts that come with becoming a parent.

You know Katie from hit shows like Scandal, Inventing Anna, and The Hunting Wives — but in this conversation, she opens up in a way audiences rarely get to hear.

Katie shares:

  • the miscarriage that changed her relationship with motherhood forever

  • how Shonda Rhimes encouraged her to start a family

  • her terrifying experience with severe postpartum depression and intrusive thoughts

  • the reality of taking medication for maternal mental health

  • how motherhood permanently changed her identity

  • balancing Hollywood, marriage, career, and raising kids

  • the surprising celiac diagnosis that transformed her health

  • peri-menopause, aging, body image, and strength training in your 40s

This episode is funny, emotional, deeply vulnerable, and incredibly important for women navigating fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood, mental health, and the pressure to “do it all.”
