Join me every week as we listen to the stories of mamas sharing their motherhood and birth experiences. Hold space with me as we normalize these experiences and extend compassion. Hear from providers such as myself and others across the country bringing helpful tips, literature, and providing support.
This week's episode we hear from a mama who experienced signs of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders possibly in her pregnancy that were missed and later diagnosed with postpartum depression. She shares her journey of recovery, gems throughout that helped, expectations that she had to adjust, and so much more. Listen and hold space with me as she reminds us all the importance of advocating for your needs, listening to your body, and having people in your life that will encourage you to do what's necessary in difficult moments that feel right for you. She is starting her Doula career and would love to connect her work to you so go follow her accounts. FYI: She's in the DMV area:
