<p>Postpartum challenges can feel overwhelming, especially for new mothers. In this podcast for the Nevada Author Network, we explore the journey of Ashley Hanna-Morgan, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and author, who combines her professional insights with personal experiences in her latest book, &quot;In Her Own Backyard.&quot; Join us as we delve into how storytelling can illuminate the often-hidden struggles of postpartum mental health, and the importance of support in this vulnerable time.</p><p>Ashley is a certified perinatal mental health therapist and social worker with over eight years of experience helping parents navigate the complexities of pregnancy and postpartum mental health. As an author, she learned lessons about writing. For instance, she notes a common mistake that new writers make is to shy away from their own personal experiences when writing a book. She endorses embracing these moments that lead to more authentic storytelling. She also endorses creating a routine versus waiting for inspiration, which can lead to inconsistent progress and results.</p><p>You can learn more about Ashley at her website <a href="https://ashleyhannamorgan.com/">https://ashleyhannamorgan.com/</a></p><p>You can find her on Instagram at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/AshleyHannahMorgan">https://www.instagram.com/AshleyHannahMorgan</a></p><p><br></p><p>+++</p><p>Cassidy Carson and JT Hume (“CC &amp; JT”) are independent writers, publishers, and co-owners of <a href="https://twomoorebooks.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Two Moore Books, LLC</a> out of Carson City, Nevada, USA.
