56: Maternal Mental Health Matters to Kristen

In this episode, I talk with my friend and former colleague, Kristen. Kristen is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a mom of two. Since experiencing some struggles herself with postpartum depression and anxiety, she has felt drawn to helping others in similar situations. We discuss some of the common emotions of parenthood, the concerns regarding the lack of maternal mental health assessment in postpartum care, and the importance of reaching out for support. I absolutely love Kristen’s vulnerability throughout this episode.
