Haley and McKinsey are our guests for this week's episode. They both have stories about postpartum depression, and want to share how different their situations were, between the two of them.
Haley & McKinsey's goals for sharing their stories was to show how different perinatal health looks for different people, & to get rid of the shame surrounding mental health. They also shared their perspectives on some ways that we can help someone who might be going through some difficult times. These ladies also talk about what helped them to heal, and their lives now while they continue to work on themselves and their mental health.
