From Postpartum Struggles to Purpose: How Mother Up! Is Changing Lives
In this inspiring episode of the SML Buzz Podcast, PJ sits down with Katie Douglas, Founder of Mother Up! Inc., to discuss her deeply personal journey through postpartum depression and the incredible nonprofit she is building to support mothers in crisis.
Katie shares how her own experience sparked a vision for something that doesn't currently exist in Virginia—a place where mothers can receive mental health treatment without being separated from their babies.
The conversation explores:
❤️ Katie's remarkable life journey and what brought her to Southwest Virginia
❤️ The powerful story behind the creation of Mother Up! Inc.
❤️ Why postpartum mental health deserves more attention and support
❤️ The organization's vision for a first-of-its-kind crisis center for mothers and infants
❤️ How the community can help through volunteering, fundraising, and spreading awareness
You'll also learn about Bricks & Blooms, Mother Up!'s upcoming family-friendly fundraiser, where the community can come together to help build something truly life-changing for local families.
This is more than a conversation about mental health—it's a conversation about hope, healing, and creating a community where no mother has to struggle alone.
💛 If you've ever known a new mom, love someone raising a family, or simply believe in supporting your community, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
