What is postpartum depression and how is it diagnosed?
Postpartum depression can't be diagnosed until six weeks postpartum. It doesn't necessarily mean sitting around crying. It can manifest as anxiety, fear of being alone with the baby, or so fear of your person leaving the house and leaving you alone with the baby. In offering support during this time, you need to try and make it as easy on the person as possible. Jordi Salander is a trusted, experienced, and compassionate postpartum expert and maternal wellness advocate, best known as the founder of Postpartum Expert, where she helps mothers through postpartum recovery and healing. Postpartum support matters. We just don't do a good job. We don't provide practical support. Everyone who wants to come see the baby, come help.
Do something practical for her. And we don't even separate puppies from their mothers for eight weeks. Why are we separating women from their babies at six? Yeah.

Welcome to another episode of the Living Your Legacy podcast, the Women in Power edition.
How does Jodi Hillebrand define postpartum support?
Joining me today is Jodi. What was your last name again, Jodi? Steelander. I wanted you to say that to confirm because that's quite the last name. Jodi, you've been founder of?
Postpartum Expert is the umbrella brand for a few different of my companies, but that is what we're doing.
Right on, Jodi. Welcome to Inside Success. You just finished filming your episode for Women in Power. How do you feel? I'm glad it's over.
I still feel a little bummed. No, I feel good. I shared a lot, and I'm not used to sharing my personal story, but it feels good to put it out there. And my purpose in sharing is that if it resonates with somebody, then... Great. You know, it'll resonate with who it needs to and people who need to receive it will receive the message.
Right on. When does your message begin or when did you start receiving your message?
So my journey into postpartum care started after the birth of my first child. When I realized there's a lot of emphasis put on childbirth education and birth and Literally nothing for when postpartum happens. And the postpartum period is actually the first 12 months after a baby is born. So that's a lot longer than people tend to think. Sure. So when I found out that there was little support and little education and things like that, it really inspired me to want to do more.
What is—what's happening today when a child is born? What immediately happens? Is it a peaceful process? Is it a grueling process for the child, for the parent? Like, it doesn't seem very pleasant, does it? Let's start there. This is quite the experience. Before we get into the post-punctual— I was just like— I apologize because I'm not a father, so I haven't experienced this myself. But I would like to, from what I experienced, my friends have had their families, and they've always got this awful story of something happening, and it wasn't great, and then there is the lingering months afterwards. Can you walk us through why this happens, why it's so common, and why you're here to do what you do to inform us, to educate us?
Well, how much time do we have?
20 minutes. 20 minutes.
All right. I'll nod and smile because that's my first loaded question. Yeah.
Well, birth is intense. Yes. Right? So you want to go into it feeling empowered. You want to make sure that you have information that you need. If you're going to go into a hospital to deliver your baby... you are going to need to advocate for yourself. Hospitals have policies, and those policies are for the hospital, not necessarily for the woman or the birthing person. And a lot of times when you go in, what happens is what they call a cascade of interventions, right? Got it. So you go in and you kind of interrupt this natural process. And then one thing starts, like maybe they need a little Pitocin. And then, you know, that is a very strong contracting medicine.
