Maternal Mental Health Matters: Why We Need to Talk About It, with Carrie Stone and Megan O’Toole

Becoming a mother can be beautiful—but it can also be overwhelming, isolating, and emotionally challenging. In this episode, we invite Carrie Stone, LMHC, PMH-C; and Megan O'Toole, LMHC, ATR, PMH-C to explore the critical topic of maternal mental health and why honest conversations are so important. You'll learn the difference between common “baby blues” and the more serious postpartum depression (PPD), and why so many women suffer in silence. We’ll also discuss how loved ones can offer meaningful support and how mothers can ask for help without shame. Whether you're a parent, partner, friend, or health professional, this episode will equip you with the tools to advocate, support, and speak up—because maternal mental health matters.
