Hi, guys. Welcome back to Preview Lions podcast. This is Sarah and I have Whitney with me. Whitney, hello, my friend.

Hey, friends. We are back. And, you know, Whitney, March is a big month in general, but it talks, it's like

National Women Empowerment Month. It's Women's History Month. Love it. So what better to talk about

something that we're both passionate about. I know you offer to your clients and PREVIA does, but how there's a big important

conversation that is missing when it comes to maternal mental health.

And it shouldn't be, but it is a preventative conversation of, okay, I'm pregnant. I'm fine. Why would I even need you

Whitney? Like, why would I be a mature mental therapist? Like, shouldn't I be like Googling

Pinterest nursery room ideas or like figuring out diapers? But like the more important conversation is your mental health

really needs to be looked at more than what your nursery is going to look like right well and here's

the thing the two can coexist you can be Pinteresting those nurseries absolutely and you can

have a therapist on board.

Yes. 100% the two can coexist.

And the reason that you would want to have a therapist on board, even if you're feeling

fine in pregnancy.

And here's the thing.

You genuinely could be.

We could not be experiencing anxiety.

We could not be experiencing depression, OCD, anything of that nature.

And your pregnancy could go smooth. You may not have a traumatic delivery.

Everything could be as it's supposed to be. It could be picture perfect. However, postpartum,

we don't really ever know what that is actually going to look like.

And so we talk about this quite a bit.
