@pearlsofjasmine - I AM ONE Pharmacist Mom Who Wasn't Immune to Severe PPD
Manage episode 378685686 series 3447173
On today’s episode, we’re sitting down with Jasmine, a pharmacist by trade and a fierce perinatal mental health advocate by heart. In the early days of a global pandemic, she chose to join PSI as a volunteer in the Peer Mentor Program after being rocked by her own lived experience with infertility, PPA, severe PPD. We’ll hear about the difficulty accepting advice on medication (even as a pharmacist) as well as difficulty opening up about feelings when it felt like nobody who looked like her was speaking up. Jasmine is doing some incredible advocacy work now on social media and on her brand new podcast featuring stories from the Asian American Pacific Islander community. So, pull up a chair or throw on your favorite walking shoes and enjoy this episode with @pearlsofjasmine.
