Healing the Tigress
A podcast that focuses on conversations & stories around Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) maternal mental health, hosted by PPD and PPA survivors Peggy (LCSW, PMH-C) & Jasmine (PharmD, PMH-C). We know that mental health is not talked about enough in our AAPI communities, and we want to break these stigmas especially for mothers and partners. We talk with AAPI guests about different mood disorders and parenting, particularly what that looks like through the lens of our culture within the Western world. We hope this podcast reminds you that you are not alone in your struggles as an AAPI parent!
