HERE WE ARE AGAIN bringing some flavour to your Friday!! Today we continue on our mental health series and are here to chat about pre and post natal depression. This one has another trigger warning as it contains talk of miscarriage and some heavy topics surrounding pre and post natal depression, so if this is too much for you today please sit this one out. BUT if you stay for the journey it is an extremely important conversation that needs to be had to reduce stigmas and raise awareness. Today we talk to Luce, who personally experienced pre and post natal depression. This episode is raw, honest and confronting but Luce speaks with such vulnerability and truth and we are honoured to have held space for this conversation. www.instagram.com/thereallucehawkins


If you have suffered or are suffering from pre and post natal depression, you don’t have to do it alone and for those who know someone or a loved one experiencing this, just be there, reach out… any support would be taken with open arms. People always ask, “How is the baby?”… start asking “How are you?”. I promise it will make the world of difference to those struggling and will create a non judgmental space for someone to chat and feel safe.
