ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The Lindsay Clancy tragedy and trial has been on many of our hearts and minds over the past few weeks. So many of us can see ourselves in this story and feel lucky (and feel survivor's guilt) that this level of tragedy didn't happen to us when we were postpartum. But it shouldn't require luck to survive postpartum. Moms deserve better. In this podcast episode, I'm unpacking the top 3 ways that the U.S. fails moms as exposed by this tragedy. I also share how we can make things better and resources you can access now if you need help.
