Sabrina Hill on postnatal psychosis, trolls & letting go
We’re big fans of Sabrina Hill. You might know her from Instagram where she shares hair education tips with her 113 thousand Instagram followers or as the owner of Kopper Hair Salon right in the heart of Cork City. But there is much, much more to Sabrina’s story. In her 20s, she gave birth to her first son Aaron which saw her experience frightening postnatal psychosis. Then last year, in her 40s, she gave birth to her now one year old son Robin. In this episode she details the debilitating hyperemesis gravidarum (severe vomiting) she suffered throughout the pregnancy and how it tested her mental health. Sabrina also talked to us about anxiety and how women need to let go of the idea of being a burden on people. We loved this chat with Sabrina and hope you do too!
