Maternal Mental Health AFTER Postpartum

We need to talk. Because maternal mental health is not just postpartum depression—it’s identity loss, invisible labor, and the emotional toll of surviving systems that were never built for mothers in the first place. In this solo episode, Sam breaks down the real state of maternal mental health across the entire motherhood journey, unpacks the daily emotional weight that moms carry, and explains how understanding matrescence could change everything.This episode marks the launch of the Maternal Mental Health Collection—a bold, unapologetic drop designed to name what’s really happening to moms, and why it’s time we stop pretending everything’s fine.The Collection goes live on May 1, 2025 at www.welcomemamaco.comLinks Mentioned:The Maternal Mental Health Collection: welcomemamaco.comJoin the Just a Mom Moms Club: welcomemamaco.com/jmmcConnect on Instagram: @samthomsonhallTopics Covered:Why maternal mental health is more than a diagnosisEveryday struggles that don’t get clinical attentionHow systems and culture fail momsThe framework of matrescenceWhy this collection exists—and who it’s forWe want to hear your birth and motherhood stories!
