In today’s episode, we tackle the important topic of prenatal depression, an often overlooked issue affecting 1 in 7 women. Our guest, Laila from the Learning to Mom Podcast, shares her personal experience with prenatal depression and provides invaluable guidance on how to recognize and manage it.

Prenatal depression is a serious issue, and its symptoms, including persistent sadness, appetite and sleep changes, excessive worry, irritability, guilt, and self-harm thoughts, should not be ignored.

Join us as we discuss contributing factors, and the need for better awareness and support, as well as provide 8 practical tips for mothers navigating prenatal depression.

• One of the biggest questions we get is, "What protein powder do you recommend?" While there are many out there, not all are created equal. We always look for third-party tested ones, that have no artificial ingredients and have at least 20 grams or more of high-quality protein. So we are happy to partner with Just Ingredients to give you 10% off your order.
