This week we talk to Carolyn Ball about how food became a trusted friend that ‘spoke' when she couldn't. An ally during postnatal depression and an experience that has shaped her perspective on the foodservice industry, and on selling as a profession within it. We also cover B2B marketing and how businesses can leverage their food offering to reward and attract employees. LINKS: Recommended reads – a mix of science, spirit, sales and cultural inspiration.

"Shortly after the birth of my daughter, I spent 10 days locked in the psych ward of the hospital after my postpartum depression and psychosis made me suicidal. In my altered psychotic state, I thought my house was bugged and the police were coming to arrest me for a crime for which I was wrongly accused. I thought the only way out of my crisis was to kill myself, so I told my mom and husband that I was going to go jump off the Golden Gate Bridge."
Tara Campbell talks to Lisa Abramson, a former marketing executive turned executive coach, speaker and entrepreneur, who changed her direction after battling postpartum depression and psychosis. Lisa found running and yoga inspired and motivated her during her struggle, which has since guided her to a higher level of self awareness and discipline in her daily schedule and sleep routine. After a decade spent as a marketing executive in California, she now works full-time to inspire other women to follow their dreams to achieve success through Mindfulness Based Achievement (MBA), a program she co-founded, which delivers corporate and individual programs.

Many moms and moms-to-be aren’t aware of Postpartum Psychosis, and it certainly wasn’t something our guest ever thought possible when she got pregnant. And although it isn’t very common – it affects about 1 in 1000 new moms – it’s something that women should be aware of and talking about. So, in today’s episode, Lisa Abramson shares her journey of giving birth, coming to terms with her psychosis, seeking professional help, and ultimately committing to mindfulness self-care practices that allowed her to heal herself and, later, give birth to a second healthy baby girl. It’s a powerful and moving story, but the most beautiful thing about it is that Lisa didn’t stop after healing herself – she is now showing up for thousands of other women, as an executive coach, mindfulness teacher, and the author of The Wise Mama Guide to Maternity Leave.
