I spoke with Shelley Irwin on WGVU News about my forthcoming book, Persevered: A Maternal Mental Health Memoir. Maternal mental health crises are common, treatable, and deadly if ignored. We need to talk about this more, not less.

Received advance copies of my book today dedicated to my son. He knows I hope that telling this difficult story can help others feel less alone and afraid.

As we say goodbye to 2025 (finally!), thoughts and hopes for 2026:

"For last year's words belong to last year's language
And next year's words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning."

β€”T.S. Eliot (Little Gidding), Four Quartets"

Kahlil Gibran - On Children

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

Plan to work and exercise before attending the largest North American conference dedicated to presenting scientific advances in perinatal mental health. We aim to support women and address a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality.

We've started a Starter Pack of people we've published in Assay over the last eleven years--we're adding as we can, but if we've published you and you're not in the pack, comment and we'll add you. We're still trying to figure out who's here on Bluesky.
