Dr. Molly Dickens is a stress physiologist who’s attempting to map the sources of maternal stress and do a major reframe of how we address it. A childcare crisis was a tipping point for a mental health spiral I had in 2021, and I am very much here for how Molly is interested in reframing stress as a social and community problem, rather than a personal one, so I asked to talk to her more about her work.

You can stay up to date on the latest from the Maternal Stress Project with Molly’s Substack.
