Michael Dunne: I’m Michael Dunne. Despite the war with Iran, rising inflation and other huge stories, the trial of Lindsey Clancy has captivated national attention for months. This is the incredibly tragic story of a mother who, under postpartum psychosis she says, killed her children and tried to kill herself. Throughout the trial, a big question emerged: Do we as a society truly understand postpartum depression and psychosis and their impacts? Today on the show, you’ll hear from the leader of a local nonprofit that helps mothers and families better understand and cope with postpartum depression and psychosis. She’ll explain her organization’s efforts through her own personal story. Then, at the end of the show, one of our reporters will discuss local policy action against data centers.

Dunne: Lyndsie Leech, executive director of WellMama, thanks so much for coming in and talking with us.
