More than just depression: a postpartum mental health journey | Emily Phelps | TEDxBloomington

People say having a baby changes everything. And for Emily Phelps, it certainly did. Her unexpected struggle with multiple postpartum mood disorders forced her to reexamine everything she thought she knew about becoming a mother. Her humor and down-to-earth story sheds a light on a topic that's not talked about nearly enough. Through the story of her own struggle, she seeks to help others better understand these common disorders, realize they don't just happen to moms, and provide tangible tips to help the loved ones in your life who may be experiencing them. Emily is the founder of Matrescence Perinatal Care, an organization seeking to provide superior educational and social support to new and expecting families. She works as both a birth and postpartum doula. She has her Master's in Leadership Development with a research focus in how adult learners retain information. In addition to her work as a doula, she is an adjunct professor of Women's Leadership and an experienced corporate trainer and facilitator. All of her work, regardless of venue, revolves around ensuring others have the space to speak their truths, to be heard, and the tools to cultivate their own confidence. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
