Kicking off this series on postpartum I had the pleasure of having a great conversation with Marcus and Nicole Wooden about their journey with postpartum as individuals and a married couple. Their story is nothing short of inspiring, educational, eye-opening, and insightful.
Author, speaker, and parent coach, Nicole Woodcox Bolden, LCSW @thrivingwithbabychicago has over 17 years of experience supporting parents in raising healthy children without losing themselves. With the mission to assist mothers managing postpartum depression & anxiety, Nicole's journal entitled, Mama’s Mind Matters, and a book entitled, Uncover Your Light, helps women slow down for a cou ofple minutes a day to have an intentional pause to think about themselves. Speaking on the national stage on topics such as Postpartum mental health, managing anxiety & societal norms, parent re-entry into the workplace, and navigating marriage goals & expectations in parenthood. Nicole aims to empower, educate, inform, and truly hold space for parents/caregivers.
Marcus has been an advocate for social justice issues relating to health disparities and the well-being of underserved populations. His experience as a father, along with his research, has led him to become passionate about supporting families, especially fathers as they start their journey through fatherhood. He currently has his Masters of Public Health and has worked in nonprofit, tech, and school settings. Marcus is passionate about not only supporting families but also compiling more research on best practices to help get families through the birthing process.
