Incantations of a Shadow Midwife
I Judge Our Community, Not Her
On depletion, maternal burnout, and why we mourn brilliant women instead of nourishing them while they're alive — reflections after Dr. Carolyn Elliott's death.

This is something that I feel we (women specifically) have been conditioned to do over the generations - stop listening to our instincts, and start sacrificing how we feel for the sake of others. I honestly feel this is a big part that plays into maternal mental health.
How This Pregnancy is Different
I had to make the conscious decision to be at peace that this pregnancy is going to be different.
How I Healed from "Postpartum Mood Disorders" Without SSRIs
This post is not shaming anyone who decided to go the route of prescription healing! This is me sharing that it is not the only choice or route of healing and my experience.
