Empowered Ease with Jennifer Ohlinger

This powerful conversation explores the hidden realities of maternal mental health that aren't covered in typical birth preparation classes. Stephanie reveals critical information every expectant and new parent should know, including the surprising fact that most women experiencing postpartum depression feel most suicidal between months eight and ten—not during the initial newborn phase when most support is concentrated. We discuss the biological perfect storm of physical recovery, severe sleep deprivation, and hormonal fluctuations that create unique vulnerabilities during this transition.
