49: MMH Awareness with Dr. Kat!

Special Episode: MMH Awareness Week! Just me, chatting with you! Hey everyone, welcome to maternal mental health week! I wanted to come in and have a chat with you guys about all of the awesomeness happening to raise awareness during the month of May and also touch base about why we need this awareness. The Mom & Mind podcast goal is first and foremost to get information and awareness of maternal mental health issues out in the public. I really really believe that we deserve to be aware and educated on these topics so that we can make informed decisions about our health and mental health.
