Trigger Warning: pregnancy loss is covered in this episode.

In this episode, we dive into the critical yet often overlooked topic of perinatal mental health—including conditions like postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, and psychosis. From pregnancy through the first year after birth, we explore the emotional and psychological changes many birthing people face, and why awareness and early support matter so much. We also discuss the vital role partners and loved ones can play in offering compassionate, informed support during this vulnerable time.

Whether you're a new parent, expecting, or supporting someone through the journey, this episode offers insights, validation, and real-world guidance to help you feel less alone and more empowered.
