This week on Her Time To Talk, we're joined by therapist, mother, and assistant practice manager at Her Time Therapy—Lauren Veazey—for an intimate and powerful conversation about the emotional reality of new motherhood.
Lauren shares her personal story of miscarriage, postpartum anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and identity loss alongside her clinical insight into the difference between the baby blues and postpartum depression. We talk openly about the cultural silence that keeps so many mothers suffering alone—and why healing starts with being witnessed, validated, and supported.
Whether you’re a new parent, someone navigating fertility, or simply trying to understand what support during the perinatal period should look like, this episode is for you.
In this episode, we explore:
- What distinguishes baby blues from clinical postpartum depression
- How intrusive thoughts show up—and why they’re more common than you think
- The grief and identity shift that can come with becoming a parent
- What therapy can offer for women in the perinatal and postpartum periods
- Why naming your experience and sharing your story can be a radical act of healing
