009 | Postpartum Psychosis + Healing | with Lisa Abramson

Many moms and moms-to-be aren’t aware of Postpartum Psychosis, and it certainly wasn’t something our guest ever thought possible when she got pregnant. And although it isn’t very common – it affects about 1 in 1000 new moms – it’s something that women should be aware of and talking about. So, in today’s episode, Lisa Abramson shares her journey of giving birth, coming to terms with her psychosis, seeking professional help, and ultimately committing to mindfulness self-care practices that allowed her to heal herself and, later, give birth to a second healthy baby girl. It’s a powerful and moving story, but the most beautiful thing about it is that Lisa didn’t stop after healing herself – she is now showing up for thousands of other women, as an executive coach, mindfulness teacher, and the author of The Wise Mama Guide to Maternity Leave.
