INTRODUCING ... the I AM ONE Podcast!
Manage episode 355166794 series 3447173
Welcome to the I AM ONE Podcast, where we chat with Postpartum Support International (PSI) staff and volunteers to discuss why and how they’re supporting the mental health of new families. Periodically, we'll feature episodes dedicated to learning about PSI Programs, but primarily we'll focus on the lived experience of volunteers who will share the following:
- How Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) have touched their lives;
- How they sought & received help;
- How they're channeling their energy to help folks in the perinatal period now.
Hearing one person’s story on a podcast changed the trajectory of my life. It was the catalyst to me opening up about my undiagnosed postpartum anxiety, depression & OCD, processing my own trauma, and realizing that advocacy is my life's work. I discovered that there's strength in processing trauma and empowerment in sharing stories - so that's what we're here to do!
Whether you're seeking stories from someone who's been there, or looking for a way to channel your passion for perinatal mental health advocacy, we hope these stories offer encouragement. This podcast makes room for the serious and the silly. We hope each episode will illustrate that none of us are alone, and that no matter our story, we can all say, "I AM ONE," of many who are touched by PMADs.
Please follow, subscribe (and whatever else all the tech savvy geniuses do!) so you don't miss an episode. Beginning February 28, 2023 - new episodes will release every Tuesday morning at 3am Pacific Time.
Thanks for listening!
