About this episode
**Trigger warning: contains mention of suicide** On this deeply moving episode, we’re joined by Melissa Lavasani—a mom of two who turned to psychedelics to heal from postpartum depression when nothing else worked. Melissa opens up about her debilitating struggle with PPD during her second pregnancy and postpartum journey. At the recommendation of a friend, she turned to psychedelics as a last-ditch effort—choosing to isolate herself in the process due to the stigma and illegality of it at the time. What followed was a transformation she never could’ve imagined: becoming an advocate for making psychedelics more accessible, especially when it comes to women’s mental health. Whether you’re personally navigating postpartum depression or not, normalizing these conversations and sharing alternative approaches to healing is powerful and necessary. You are not alone.
