In this episode we talk with Dr. Rowena Winkler, a postpartum psychosis survivor, PhD in Communication, and advocate for maternal mental health. Rowena shares her experiences with psychosis as a college student and a second-time mom, offering insight into the early signs, triggers, and recovery process. We cover the impact of trauma on mental health, the relationship between sleep and psychosis, and the phases of psychosis. Rowena also shares how she has leaned on her creative side to process, including blog posts, journaling, and a monologue about her experiences.

This conversation is honest, energizing, and informative. Rowena reminds us that help is available and no one has to navigate mental health challenges alone.
