Shattered Conception

On this episode of Shattered Conception I'm talking with comedian, actress, social media influencer, wife and mother, Angelina Spicer.  Spicer has smartly delved deep for comedy that’s authentic, transparent, and relatable. By using her social media platform, she became an outspoken advocate for maternal mental health after she was admitted into a psychiatric facility for a seven day treatment of postpartum depression when her daughter was 8 months old. She was admitted because she had scary thoughts that just would not abate on their own. It was then that her journey to remove the stigma from the shame and guilt associated with a Postpartum Mood and Anxiety Disorder began. She became the 2018 Spokeswoman for The Blue Dot Project, has lobbied on Capitol Hill, and has recently help pass three new pieces of legislation for new moms in California through supporting 2020Mom and the Maternal Mental Health NOW Task Force (which I am also a member). Angelina has also been featured in USA Today & Essence magazine
