Parenthood - A podcast by Leonie Akhidenor

Categories:

Chelsea and I discuss her journey as a new mum, experiencing severe post-natal depression. Her story is a powerful example of how through great adversity you can transform yourself and your life. Chelsea is now a key note speaker, the Founder and Director of EQ Minds, an ambassador for The Gidget Foundation and supports many mental health initiatives. She is passionate about retelling her story in the hope that it may resonate with even just one other mum and save a life. We discuss the signs and symptoms of post-natal depression, how dark depression can get and where to turn to for help. Note this episode has a trigger warning as we discuss suicide.Resources:The Gidget Foundation - https://gidgetfoundation.org.au/EQ Minds - Insta handle @eqminds Hosted on Acast.
