Haley Ashcom Miller is a working mom of four, maternal mental health advocate, and postpartum psychosis survivor with a professional background spanning government and marketing.

After experiencing postpartum psychosis following the birth of her first child, Haley began sharing her story publicly to bring greater awareness to a condition that remains deeply misunderstood and heavily stigmatized.

Through candid conversations about psychosis, motherhood, recovery, and life after postpartum mental illness, Haley is working to challenge the way we talk about mothers experiencing severe mental health crises. Her advocacy is rooted in a simple belief: better awareness, better conversations, and better resources can save lives—and every mother deserves compassion and access to care.

Leslie Dobson on the Lindsay Clancy case and Postpartum depression

Dr. Leslie Dobson is a forensic psychologist who is providing legal expertise and media commentary on the Lindsay Clancy trial. Dr. Dobson talks about the internet conspiracy theories regarding Lindsay’s husband, and how it is connected to an unwillingness to accept the horror of postpartum psychosis.

Part Two.

The Lindsay Clancy Murder Trial is forcing a harrowing national conversation about postpartum anxiety, depression, and psychosis. Lindsay Clancy is accused of the murders of her three children while in the throes of postpartum psychosis. The case has opened a national conversation on the limits of the mental health care system, criminal responsibility while mentally ill, and what sentence suits a person who had lost touch with reality at the time of the crime. 

We are bringing back a riveting conversation with Sara Townshend,  the author of  SETTING THE WIRE, a memoir of postpartum psychosis. She was a psychotherapist and new mother when she experienced the most disturbing experience of her lifetime—postpartum psychosis. Sara was able to get the help she needed to recover, but not before hospitalization.

This is a Re-Visit.

A No Stone Unturned episode from 2019."A talk with Doctors, Do I need therapy?"We hire personal trainers to help us get in shape, tutors for difficult subjects, and music instructors to learn to master musical instruments.  So, why are people reluctant to hire a therapist, a person trained to help people better manage their minds? In this episode, Jenna, Sheila and Brian talk about how therapy works and what really goes on in therapeutic sessions.

This is a Re-visit.

Doctors Jenna LeJune and Brian Goff.This show aired more than six years ago. We originally titled it “Why Therapy”. But in hindsight we easily could have called it “Why therapy could work for you and what to expect when you get there...Oh, and by the way there are different kinds of therapist approaches so, here’s what you could be looking for” It’s a Doctors only discussion and an interesting insider view from a couple of mental health care professionals. We hope you enjoy the episode.
