Welcome to the Mom & Mind Podcast!

This podcast focuses on the Maternal Mental Health struggles related to becoming pregnant, being pregnant, birth and early parenthood. We talk about all of the stuff that you wish someone would have told you BEFORE you tried to be pregnant or have a baby. Postpartum depression is only part of the story.

The goal of this podcast to put all of this info out in the open. There’s no need to hide these very human experiences…so many people deal with these struggles. So, the podcast provides real life stories of moms, dads and family AND we will talk with experts, leaders and advocates in the field of maternal mental health and maternal health. You deserve to be informed!!!!

Bonus Episode: 3 Years of Mom & Mind

Jun 17, 2019

Today’s show is a bonus episode as we celebrate our 3rd anniversary! It’s been an adventure and a learning process along the way. I’ll admit that I had no clue what I was doing when we started, or what was involved in doing a podcast, but I knew we needed to get information and resources out there to moms and families. So now, after 152 episodes, I’m proud of how far we’ve come on the journey---and we’ll keep going to get the word out to even more moms and families in the future!

Show Highlights:

  • The incredible details of the podcast’s reach: we’ve had 240,000 downloads in over 75 countries!
  • The facts that show the need: 20% of new parents will experience perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, so we still have a lot of work to do
  • How I got started without knowing anything about podcasting
  • The rewarding feeling from the feedback, knowing the show has helped listeners
  • The benefit in sitting and sharing with each other
  • The intensity of our heavy topics and episodes
  • Why I don’t want anyone to feel alone in this struggle
  • The expenses involved to keep the show going, along with our new fundraising efforts
  • Information about the new Monthly Mom and Mind Collaborative
