Welcome to Week 1 of our 4 part series on Mental Health, Women's Health and how it's a little different for teen moms. This week I talk with Rea, who experienced a lot of stigma and shame related to her pregnancy at 14. We discuss how the things said to us and about us stayed with us, and played a part in shaping who we became. Although our situations were different, they were the same in many ways... Especially the ways that it affected our mental health for years to come.
