In this episode I sit down with Jenny Tucker, a maternal mental health advocate, yoga teacher, and founder of The Centerline Community—a thriving support network for new and expecting mothers. Jenny opens up about her own journey into motherhood, where she discovered just how limited true postpartum support really was. Drawing from her background in mental health counseling, yoga, and community outreach, she created a space where moms can feel connected, empowered, and less alone.
Our conversation dives into powerful topics like matrescence—the often-overlooked transition into motherhood—the postpartum “portal” as a time of transformation, and the importance of re-centering the mother in both family and cultural narratives. Jenny also shares personal experiences with postpartum depression (PPD) and dysphoric milk ejection reflex (DMER), highlighting the importance of maternal advocacy and accessible postpartum care.
This episode is a reminder that with the right support and community, the challenges of postpartum can become a season of healing and growth. Jenny’s story offers hope, validation, and encouragement for moms at every stage, reminding us all that moms are stronger and more powerful than they often realize. Whether you’re a new mom, expecting, or simply passionate about reshaping the culture of motherhood, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, supported, and inspired.
