Katherine Stone Biography

Katherine Stone spent a year after the birth of her first child, suffering from postpartum depression, feeling alone and flawed, sure that her kid would never love her. After she recovered, she thought it was past time for someone to raise awareness about this frequent but underreported delivery issue, so she founded the award-winning, worldwide known website Postpartum Progress to doing just that. Postpartum Progress is now the world's most popular blog about postpartum depression (and all other mental illnesses connected to pregnancy and delivery), with hundreds of thousands of women reading it each year. Following that initiative, Stone established Postpartum Progress, Inc., a nationwide organization dedicated to substantially increasing support and resources for women suffering from a perinatal mental disorder. As a contributing expert for BlogHer, the world's biggest network for women in social media, the Today Show website, and PBS' This Emotional Life, Stone has written about postpartum depression. She's also been in CNN, Health.com, and iVillage films on postpartum depression. She's won a number of honors for her work, including the inaugural Bloganthropy Award, which honors people who use social media to make a difference; a spot on More magazine's annual Fierce List; and recognition as a WebMD Health Hero, which honors people who have overcome obstacles and helped transform healthcare. Katherine Stone, dubbed "the mother of all moms" by her followers and fans, is adamant that her daughter's generation does not suffer in silence. She is a creative and entertaining speaker who speaks on postpartum depression, parenthood, social media, and the patient empowerment movement at events around the country.
