Today I'm chatting with Amy aka One Tuff Muvva. This episode comes with a trigger warning as we are chatting about severe postnatal depression that led to Amy spending some time in a mother and baby unit. 

I also want to apologise for the sound quality on some of the audio - I forgot to plug my mic in so it's a bit echoey - sorry!

Amy and I talk about her experience of antenatal depression, postnatal depression and her stay in a mother and baby unit. 

It sounds as though this episode will be really heavy, and there are definitely some elements of Amy's story that are difficult to hear. However, this is definitely not a doom and gloom episode. 

Amy's story is majorly inspirational and she talks us through her recovery from perinatal mental illness. She shares the amazing transformation she experienced during and after her recovery and how this has impacted positively on every aspect of her life. 

Amy has gone on to do amazing things when it comes to campaigning for mental health through her One Tuff Muvva brand and also through her work at Funky Pigeon where she designed a whole range of cards to send to people who are experiencing mental illness and also led a campaign to raise awareness of mental health. 

You are going to want to listen to the end of this episode, it's bloody awesome and I think you'll be totally inspired by Amy's story. 

 As always, I'd love for you to leave me a review on iTunes and also share with another mum or parent who you think would enjoy the episode.
