 About Our Guest

We had Molly Carr on the pod, she has a postgraduate in music therapy, she’s a new mammy, and I’m lucky to call her my future sister in law. Molly gave birth to my beautiful nephew nearly a year ago, but after Ro was born Molly experienced postnatal depression. I’m so glad she decided to share her experience with us all, I hope that it reaches other mammies out there so they don’t feel so alone in their experiences.
