Send us Fan MailOn today’s episode, we’re sitting down with our friend, and Perinatal Mental Health-Certified powerhouse, Patience Riley. Patience is a Licensed Mental Health Therapist, a foodie, a military spouse, and a mother of two. We’ll hear all about how loneliness and isolation played a role in her transition to motherhood, especially with a partner on deployment. Patience is behind some pretty incredible work here at PSI as the Communications Manager of the Perinatal Mental Health Alliance for People of Color and we are absolutely thrilled to bring you her story.Mentioned in today's episode:Military Support GroupsPerinatal Mental Health Alliance for People of Color (website)Alliance (Instagram)National Board for Certified CounselorsAnnual PSI ConferencePodcast: Live Like HerBook: Holier Than Thou, Believing BiggerPatience:@whoamama_blog (Instagram + Facebook)LinkedInPinterestYouTube (Mindfulness Tips)https://whoamamas.comInterested in sharing your story?Fill out our podcast interest form here!
