  • 5. The Trauma of Postpartum Depression and the Freedom to Get Help with Cathy Jo Lang

    Welcome to Episode 5 of the Warrior Words podcast!

     

    In today's episode, I got to speak with Cathy Jo Lang about the trauma of postpartum depression. This type of trauma has many new moms wondering if they are good moms. They may also be suffering in silence for fear of what others might think of them.

    Many are afraid to ask for help. Let's change that!
