Kelly Siebold is a Post Partum Depression and Anxiety survivor as well as the Founder and CEO of Thrive Postpartum and host of the Let's Thrive Postpartum podcast, and a visionary leader dedicated to transforming maternal mental health through innovative technology.

Kelly's path to the founding of Thrive Postpartum began after the birth of her first child when she became a statistic as one of the 1 in 5 new mothers affected by postpartum depression and anxiety.

Kelly describes how just six weeks postpartum she began experiencing overwhelming feelings of loneliness, depression, anxiety, rage, and intrusive thoughts. She explains that she knew something was wrong, but it wasn't until the day she found herself screaming at her baby, then three months old, that something was terribly wrong.

As Kelly sought help, she realized that there was a significant lack of accessibility for 24/7 support for mothers experiencing similar struggles. Determined to make a difference, she leveraged her decades of expertise in the tech industry to build Thrive Postpartum, a platform designed to provide immediate, comprehensive support for maternal mental wellness.

Through Thrive Postpartum, Kelly aims to ensure that no mother feels alone in her journey. The platform offers educational resources, therapist-led group support programs, and a community of moms, all available around the clock. Kelly's mission is to help new mothers find themselves again and thrive in their roles. Kelly's story and dedication resonate deeply with many, as she openly shares her experiences to break the stigma around postpartum mental health. Her leadership and advocacy are shaping a new era of maternal support, where every mother has the tools and community she needs to thrive.
