If you follow the term "postpartum depression" on Twitter, this week you could not possibly have missed 4,158,064,397 people retweet the fact that Gwyneth Paltrow shared a little bit more of her experience with postpartum depression in the February issue of Good Housekeeping.
If you aren't on Twitter, I link to the story here for you now. (Note: the postpartum depression part of the story is on pg. 4)
For more, here's how Gwyneth was covered at Cafe Mom's The Stir and also at AOL Health (which, I'm very excited to say, also link to my piece at ParentDish on PPD).
Glad Gwyneth Paltrow continues to be open to talking about postpartum depression! The more we talk, the better.
Now, if I could only get her to join the board of Postpartum Progress Inc. the Nonprofit …..
What? A girl can dream. Gwyneth seems like the earnest sort. I bet she'd be serious about kicking some PPD ass and getting more funding for more and better services for women. Or maybe I have no idea what I'm talking about. Anyway. Off to clear out my Twitter stream.
Tra la la …
I think you should try to email her – seriously! The worst thing that could happen is she'd say no or none of her people would answer back. I remember your story from a while back about the need for celebrity moms to step up and push for more research/funding, etc. It was refreshing to see more coverage on her experience in the media. Go Gwyneth – love her!
Why not? Of course she should join your board! We just need to find the path into her.
I think we should all e-mail her and tell her what a great thing it would be for her to join your board! What do you/we have to loose!
