WE ARE NOT OKAY; A Discussion on Maternal Mental Health—with Karla Carlston Artwork

Speaking to Shame

The safe place to identify your shame, call it by its name, and ditch it cuz it's lame.The place where we answer the question "Who was I before the world and shame said I wasn't enough?" The place where we talk about the heartbreaking and unfair, because the joy and the healing are worth that fight. The place where you can set down the heavy burden of the shame that never belonged to you.🧡

WE ARE NOT OKAY; A Discussion on Maternal Mental Health—with Karla Carlston

November 04, 2022 • Emily Stearman/Karla Carlston • Season 2 • Episode 9

Maternal mental health IS HEALTH.

⚠️CW: Talk of suicidal thoughts/ideations and intrusive thoughts ⚠️

On today’s episode, I sat down with Karla Carlston, CEO and founder of J.O.T. Journals. Karla’s mission is to get the tool of journaling into as many hands as possible.
Her own journey through postpartum anxiety/depression drove her to the creation of a journal that would show all the moments in life, even the difficult ones.

Karla is a survivor of postpartum anxiety and depression, and wants others to know they don’t have to do it alone.
Find Karla and J.O.T. at Pinners Conference this weekend!

If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide due to postpartum depression, please call or text 988 for help.
