Hello beautiful podcast listeners and welcome to this week's episode. In today's conversation I speak with Alison, about her experience developing postnatal depression and anxiety after the birth of her first daughter.

Alison was left recovering from her birth with undiagnosed and severely low iron levels. Couple that with a baby who would only sleep whilst being held, sleep deprivation and feeling like she could not talk about how hard things were getting, Alison's PND and PNA symptoms worsened and she was admitted to an inpatient early parenting unit.

3 years on and Alison has learnt to prioritise her self care, plan things in the diary to look forward to and is grateful for the small things in life.

I loved recording this episode, and I hope you enjoy listening too.
