Mary Seid is the founder of Hera. She’s spent her career in marketing and communications, primarily agency-side, but recently in a consulting role. While she’s loved her jobs, her favorite part of work always centered around helping others….helping clients identify and achieve their goals, helping team members learn and grow and mentoring younger colleagues. Personally, she has two children and while she was never diagnosed after her first, she certainly dealt with anxiety as part of pregnancy and postpartum. As someone who lives with anxiety regardless, this shouldn’t have come as a surprise. And yet, she still didn’t recognize the signs. After having her second during the height of Covid, it was not surprising when Mary developed postpartum anxiety again. This time she really had to prioritize her health, take a look at her daily life and make some changes. It took time, a lot of support and individual work. Now it’s her turn to help – to share what she learned and help other moms feel less alone, to provide tools, resources and perspective. Life can be stressful and hectic – but it doesn’t have to be.
