Healing after birth is just as emotional as it is physical. 🤍

Postpartum depression can make even the smallest moments feel overwhelming, but support, connection, and self-compassion can make a difference. Acknowledging how you feel, finding community, moving your body, and reaching out for professional help are all important steps toward healing.

No mother should have to navigate this alone. If you or someone you love is struggling after bringing a baby into the world, know that support exists and help is available.

Postpartum depression affects about 1 in 7 women, yet so many mothers feel alone in their experience. ❤️‍🩹

In this episode, Dr. Karen Sheffield-Abdullah, certified nurse-midwife and mindfulness instructor, joins the Just A Mom podcast to talk about postpartum depression, maternal mental health, and why screening, sleep, support, and mindfulness matter so much during the postpartum period.

We also discuss the impact of social media on new moms, the difference between postpartum depression and anxiety, and the groundbreaking MomGenes Study exploring the genetic factors behind postpartum depression.

This is an important conversation for moms, partners, families, and anyone who wants to better understand maternal mental health.
