I AM ONE Podcast by Postpartum Support International
Perinatal mental health advocates reflect on their own lived experience during the perinatal period (pregnancy + postpartum). Guests explain how they sought & received help, how they found PSI, and how they’re supporting the mental health of new families now.
We’ll illustrate PSI’s core belief, that “You are not alone; You are not to blame; With help you will be well,” through storytelling. Each episode will demonstrate that none of us are alone, and that no matter our story, we can all say, “I AM ONE,” of many who are touched by Perinatal Mental Health Disorders (PMHD).
Whether you’re seeking stories from someone who’s been there, or looking for a way to channel your passion for perinatal mental health advocacy, we hope to offer encouragement while making room for the serious and the silly. There is strength in processing trauma and empowerment in sharing stories – so that’s what we’re here to do!

EMILY CLARK: I AM ONE Twin Mom & Legislation Advocate (PPA, PPD)
TRIGGER WARNING: Suicidal thoughts
On today’s episode, we’re chatting with Emily Clark, a 15-year elementary school teacher turned perinatal mental health advocate. Em is the Communication Manager for the Climb Out of the Darkness Program here at PSI, she volunteers as a Climb Leader of Team OKC, and if that’s not enough, she helped create impactful legislation change in her home state of Oklahoma, requiring routine screenings of new & expectant parents! We’ll hear how Postpartum Anxiety & Depression after the birth of her twins has helped her unapologetically open up about her experience and fueled her fight to support parents in the perinatal period.
