Absolutely true ❤️❤️❤️
❓Why do we sing❓ ❤️🌟Singing is proven to release 'happy hormones' and act as a natural antidepressant
When did you last sing for the sheer joy of using your voice?🙌 As children, we sing unselfconsciously every day. But on reaching adulthood our lives can become less tuneful Atosa & Sarah visited @DarentValleyHsp to encourage pregnant people & new parents to refind their voices🎶

Listen to me share my experience of #postnataldepression with the fabulous @chrisha_jay & @DrLynseyM. I hope it helps professionals know what to look out for & gives parents hope that recovery is possible. 💜 #perinatalmentalhealth
Depression is common in the perinatal period, and it can have a profound impact on families. Join @chrisha_jay and @DrLynseyM as we talk with the incredible @howlett_leanne about perinatal depression and what can be done about it. Available wherever you get your podcasts!

It really is an exciting time! Yesterday we met with people from around the world at our first meeting of the Music and Parental Wellbeing Research Network, so much energy and innovation in the room 🌟 Find out more/join us at musicandparentalwellbeing.org
‘This is an exciting time for us...’ Royal College of Music researchers Professor @rosielperkins and Dr @NetaSpiro told #UpbeatOnline about the inspiring networks they’ve created to explore connections between music and wellbeing. Read the full story: bit.ly/43oFz53

Copped a bit of flak for using the phrase ‘women and birthing people’ in this interview. If you’d like to learn more about why I use inclusive terms, you can read my book WOMB which is translated into 20 languages, so hopefully available wherever my critics are in the world 💅

In my new column for @PsychologiesMag I write about reframing the singing experience to focus on the process rather than the product - the joy of singing for the sake of it. There’s quotes from @tomvanderbilt, @Philippa_Perry, Kate Valentine @singingmamascic and Rumi! Out now!
