  • Black Maternal Mortality & Mental Health Disparities

    Black Maternal Mortality & Mental Health Disparities
    Apr 20 2026
    “Mental health conditions are the leading cause of maternal mortality…” Ep. 151 In this episode of Healthy Illness, I’m continuing the conversation on Black maternal health because this isn’t just about statistics, it’s about lives. As a birth and postpartum doula, I share how mental health, systemic bias, and gaps in care are impacting Black mothers at higher rates and what we can do about it 🖤 Black women are three to five times more likely to die from childbirth-related complications than white women. 🖤 Mental health conditions are the leading cause of maternal mortality, affecting 1 in 5 women. “Individually, we can make changes to this big thing we call the system by how we move about our day-to-day lives.” Related Episodes What It Really Takes to Be a Calming Nature Doula with Shannon Johns (Part 2) | Podcasts The Weight of the Cape — Healing from the Superwoman Schema | Podcasts Resources Mentioned: https://www.calmingnaturedoula.com/ Black Mamas Matter Alliance - Advancing Black Maternal Health, Rights & Justice. - Download Factsheet Dial 988 for immediate assistance or 741741 for text support Use 211 as the helpline for resources 🎙️ Hosted by Coach Kelly Marie, founder of Front Seat Life LLC 📲 Instagram @‌thefrontseatlife FB @‌thefrontseatlife, Email KellyMarie@FrontSeatLife.com 🎧 Produced & edited by JazzCast Pros Chapters: 00:00:00: Black Maternal Health Beyond Awareness Week 00:03:01 The Reality of Bias in Maternal Healthcare 00:07:12 Why Black Women Face Higher Maternal Health Risks 00:09:48 Maternal Mental Health: The Silent Crisis 00:12:58 Advocacy Starts With You: Taking Personal Responsibility 00:18:32 How We Create Change for Black Maternal Health 00:22:06 Preventive Care & Mental Health: What You Need to Know Learn more about your ad choices.
