Aly Thayer - Postpartum Depression & Founder of PPD Journey

Aly Thayer is the founder of PPD Journey, an organization created to bring awareness to some of the harsh realities of postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, and PTSD that many new mothers experience. After battling severe postpartum depression herself, Aly has made it her mission to help other mamas find community through this dark journey, and to help ignite change in the current medical approach to aiding postpartum illnesses. In this interview, Aly is fully open and honest about her own story, while also bringing light to some of the societal and medical shortcomings that she hopes to be a part in fixing. 

This is an extremely important conversation to have, not just for postpartum mothers, but for their support systems as well. These are the type of vulnerable, but necessary conversations that can truly save lives.
