Emily Mitchell, a wellness coach from Texas, focuses on helping mothers deal with postpartum depression, a condition that affects 1 in 7 women. Drawing from her own experiences with mental health struggles, she emphasizes the importance of seeking help. Mitchell highlights how restrictive dieting can worsen mental health crises and believes that support from accountability groups can lead to better adherence to wellness changes. Through her work, she aims to address the unique pressures faced by mothers and promote a healthier mindset about food and body image.
"I can't do this anymore," she remembers telling her husband at 3 a.m., too weary to be dramatic. "It's too much. I've got to get some help."
"High-achieving women can be the hardest on themselves. I always thought depression was a choice... I didn't realize that when we don't heal past wounds... it affects our health."
