In Episode 5 of the Guitars & Granola Bars podcast, I’m chatting with music therapist Meryl Brown. Meryl openly shares her struggle with postpartum depression, how she completely rebuilt her private practice after recovering, and the steps she took to successfully prevent PPD after the birth of her second daughter.
Meet Meryl
Meryl Brown is a mother of 2 (a 5 year old and 9 month old), wife and music therapist living and working in Central Illinois.
