Episode 24: Speaking Up about Perinatal Mood Disorders - with Rachel Emery

On today's episode of The Momlife Mindset Podcast - I had the pleasure of interviewing Rachel Emery. Rachel is a Labor & Delivery nurse turned family nurse practitioner currently working in an OBGYN office in rural Indiana. She is married to her college sweetheart, Kyle, and they have 3 young children - they live on a farm and raise cattle. Rachel's passion is taking care of women of childbearing age and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, especially postpartum depression and anxiety. In her free time she enjoys helping on the farm, being with family, watching her kiddos play sports and show calves and riding her Peloton! I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did. Rachel shares her heart around her own personal experience with PPA (after her first baby) and PPD (after her 3rd baby) while also navigating no real changes after her 2nd baby. She offers so many powerful nuggets of feedback and perspective related to postpartum healthcare and the importance of speaking up for how we feel from the inside out through each of our child birthing experiences.
