I filmed this video in a hotel where we evacuated to because of the LA fires. I’m sharing practical tips for navigating postpartum depression (PPD) without medication. As a mom of three, a maternal life coach, and a certified doula, I know how overwhelming those early months can be. I’ve been there, and I want you to know—you’re not alone, and it does get better. While I’m absolutely pro-medication and encourage anyone who needs it to seek medical help, this video focuses on things you can try before or alongside medication to support your mental health. This video is longer and very chatty so feel free to listen to it like a podcast while you do your normal life things. :)
