In this powerful and compassionate episode of The Yellow Feeling, I sit down with Samantha Reaves, MA, PMH-C, a communications specialist with Postpartum Support International (PSI) , to talk all things perinatal mental health. Together, we unpack the difference between the "baby blues" and deeper postpartum conditions like depression, OCD, and anxiety—and how often these experiences are misunderstood, minimized, or missed entirely.
Samantha shares her story and the many resources that PSI provides, along with practical tips for navigating the perinatal period with more awareness, gentleness, and support. Whether you’re in the thick of new motherhood or reflecting on your journey years later, this episode is a warm, honest reminder: you are not alone, and help is out there.
Let’s keep breaking the stigma—one raw and real story at a time.
