How postpartum depression & anxiety changed Larissa Leone’s life - KICBUMP

Larissa Leone is the founder of the postnatal stay Homb. Larissa went through postnatal anxiety and depression after giving birth to her daughter Valentina almost 13 years ago. That experience, and knowing that no other postnatal stay like it existed, inspired Larissa to create Homb.

Steph stayed at Homb after giving birth to Billie earlier this year and knew a little bit about Larissa’s story but in this episode Steph sits down with Larissa to learn more and find out where Homb came from.

Larissa shares about her experience of postnatal anxiety & depression, how her postpartum differed between her first Valentina, and her second Sebastian, the research she did before creating Homb, and the profound impact she has had on families who got to experience Homb.
