What happens when your story becomes your strength, and your strength becomes a force for change?
In this episode, I’m joined by Tracey Robinson, occupational therapist, coach, and founder of Mother Nature Coaching. Tracy shares her personal story of postpartum psychosis, the fear of being sectioned, and the long road to recovery and the quiet courage it took to rebuild. Tracey’s story didn’t just shape her healing; it ignited a passion to transform perinatal mental health from the inside out.
We reflect on the power of peer support, the importance of informed choice, and the shift from “what’s wrong with you?” to “what matters to you?” Tracey’s journey led her to coaching, where equal partnership and nature-based restoration became tools for confidence and connection. Her lived experience now informs national strategy, helping shape services that listen, include, and empower.
This is an episode about vulnerability, voice, and the systemic change that begins with being truly seen.
