In this powerful episode of Her Time To Talk, we’re exploring a topic that hits close to home for so many women: depression. We unpack the complex web of biological, societal, and political factors that contribute to why women are disproportionately affected by depression—and more importantly, what you can do about it.

From postpartum mental health to the ongoing fight for women’s healthcare access, we take a deep dive into the real reasons behind rising depression rates, especially among women of color. You’ll learn how systemic issues like gender-based oppression, underfunded medical research, and the motherhood penalty impact mental health on a daily basis.

But we don’t stop at naming the problem—we guide you through evidence-based, actionable strategies to begin feeling better. Whether it’s building an integrative care team, challenging negative thought patterns, or simply learning how to move your body again, this episode is a compassionate and empowering roadmap for those struggling with depression.

📌 If you’ve been feeling stuck, alone, or overwhelmed—this one’s for you.
