SARAH KOTRANZA: PPD, Legal Justice & Fighting for Change

Send us Fan MailOn today's episode, we're sitting down with the incredible Sarah Kotranza — who is currently serving on PSI's Board of Directors, where she focuses on Legal Justice and Policy and Advocacy. Driven by her own lived experience, Sarah has been a passionate voice at the intersection of perinatal mental health and policy since 2013. We’ll chat about her journey through postpartum depression after the birth of her son, how community and treatment helped her not just survive but actually enjoy motherhood, and why she's so committed to making sure legal professionals understand perinatal mental health disorders. She also shares her thoughts on self-love, music as meditation, and letting yourself not have everything figured out. So, without further ado, please sit back, relax, and enjoy this episode with our friend, Sarah.Mentioned on today's episode:Maternal Mental Health Leadership AllianceThe Blue Dot ProjectMind the GapPSI ChaptersPodcast: The Emily ShowWatching: Tournament of ChampionsConnect with Sarah: [email protected] in sharing your story?Fill out our podcast interest form here!
