Becoming a mom is a beautiful journey, but preparing for all the eventualities physically and mentally can be scary and confusing.
In this episode of the Jōrni Podcast, you get to hear from New Mommy Guru, Kristen O'Dell, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, to discover motherhood and mental health.
Kristen helps pregnant women learn about postpartum depression and anxiety before their baby is born so they can best recognize it if it happens and get help quickly.
