Host Frantzces Lys talks with Rachel Star Withers, who has experienced these stigmas as a person living with schizophrenia, as well as licensed therapist Kati Morton. Both guests have found strength in taking ownership of the narrative, and have found that he best way to dismantle stereotypes surrounding mental health and medications is by talking openly and honestly.

Understanding Maternal Mental Health: Pregnancy & Postpartum
There are significant ways that pregnancy and birth can shake our mental health. What can cause postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, and psychosis? Who can you turn to for help and support to pull you out of what can be an isolating experience? And what happens when the doctor's office itself causes even more anxiety?
Host Frantzces Lys first speaks with a doula and a reproductive psychiatrist on navigating mental health during pregnancy and how we can recognize the symptoms of postpartum disorders. Then Frantzces hears from a mom and patient advocate who navigated postpartum herself.
Dr. Shari Lusskin is a clinical professor of psychiatry, obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive science at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City.

Exploring Cultural Differences in Mental Health
No two mental health journeys are the same. Our unique identities and experiences play a huge role in shaping our perspectives and actions.
How can our cultures uplift our spirits and benefit our collective health? What’s preventing more therapists from various cultural backgrounds from joining the field? And how do you find a therapist who understands and respects your culture?
Host Frantzces Lys is joined by fellow experts in a roundtable discussion to explore how cultural differences shape our health journeys: Dulce Orozco is a therapist who focuses on women of Latina and Hispanic origin in her practice. Krystle Canare is deputy director of the National Asian American Pacific Islander Mental Health Association and vice chair of the Asian Mental Health Collective, working to destigmatize mental health in the AAPI communities. Dr. Earl Turner is a licensed psychologist, professor, internationally recognized speaker, and founder and executive director of Therapy for Black Kids, which provides mental health support and psychoeducational resources to parents.

Celeste is also a best-selling author, mental health advocate and host of the “Celeste The Therapist” podcast .

Customer Reviews
A power series about mental health
This series includes powerful interviews and stories about mental health. Frantzces does an amazing job creating a calm and focused tone as the host and it is created and developed in a thoughtful manner.
Beautifully crafted stories
Frantzces does a beautiful job of telling vulnerable stories with compassion and respect. I had the pleasure of being interviewed on the episode about postpartum depression and the entire experience was comforting and healing.
Very powerful
I am a social worker in healthcare and it’s refreshing and encouraging to hear burnout talked about as something you can overcome, not something you have to suffer through.
