Breathing In and Tweeting Out: How Social Media Helped My Postpartum Depression with Cydni Beer

Hey, friends! It's Self Isolation week 1000 and we're feeling it. This week's episode is utterly delightful, and while we went in with the intention of Quarantine Talking, what evolved was a beautiful discussion about social media, postpartum depression, finding yourself again, living your authentic life and we're so here for it.

If you're not already familiar with humorist and mom of three, Cydni Beer, you are in for a treat (Although we're pretty sure you've seen at least half a dozen of he viral tweets coming through your feed.) What started as a simple way to dig herself out of massive postpartum depression, has turned into a full-fledged, bonafied, high-profile account, and we chat with Cydni about the nexus of her social media efforts, how it's helped her and how she sees it helping others.

If you think this episode can help a loved one who is struggling with PPD, please pass it on!
