The Moment with Myf Warhurst

Today Myf brings you an episode from The Lizzy Hoo Show and the guest is none other than Myf herself.Myf recounts the outrageous tale of being upgraded to business class and getting a little too excited with the champagne. Oblivious at the time, Myf later pieces together hazy memories of finding herself in parts of the plane she definitely shouldn’t have been, and vomiting in places she absolutely shouldn’t have either.

Myf is joined by Julie, CEO of PANDA (Perinatal Anxiety & Depression Australia), for a difficult but important conversation prompted by the Lindsay Clancy mistrial in the US. They unpack the difference between the "baby blues," postnatal depression and postnatal psychosis, and discuss the cultural shift happening around how society responds to mothers in crisis.
