Podcasts about maternal

Today I sat down to talk about something I think about a lot…the crunchy mom movement. Why are so many families walking away from traditional healthcare unheard? Caitlyn Shollmeier, a certified nurse midwife and founder of Lila Maternity, joins me to dig into why this is not really about essential oils or cloth diapers. When women do not feel like a person in the room any more they lose trust and feel like just another number on a chart. Caitlyn shared her own birth story with twins that stuck with me. She felt dismissed by almost her entire care team, except for one nurse who took the time to listen. That relationship changed her birth story. It is a good reminder that as clinicians, the small stuff, like explaining what is happening and why, is never actually small. We discuss:  Why the crunchy mom movement is growing and what is usually underneath it How shame and lack of time in modern health care push families toward alternative spaces The difference between correcting misinformation and actually building trust Why compassion works better than fact checking when someone feels dismissed How to spot red flags in online parenting communities Caitlyn's own birth story and that one nurse who changed everything What real informed consent should sound like in a room To connect with Caitlyn Schollmeier follow her on TikTok @themodernmidwife and check out her laborwear line: https://www.wearlila.com  Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.

Know your number, but it hasn't moved in two years? Take The Practice Revenue Diagnostic, a free six minute assessment that shows you which of the five stages you're actually in and the one thing holding it there.  Growth doesn't ask you to have it all figured out, it asks you to stop hiding the parts of you that are still becoming. Maternal mental health counselor Allison Davis has spent her career researching exactly what it costs when nobody names that. In this episode of The Wellness CEO Evolution, I am joined by Allison Davis, an author, scholar, and maternal mental health counselor whose work sits at the intersection of motherhood, trauma, ecological crisis, and care. Allison shares how she built a telehealth practice to reach mothers in states where perinatal support barely exists, why she believes motherhood deserves the same developmental respect we give adolescence, and how her own unsupported transition into parenthood became the research question that shaped her entire career. Together, we explore matrescence, maternal eco-distress, the real economics of running a practice inside and outside the insurance system, the grief that lives inside every milestone a child outgrows, and the nature based practices she leans on so the work doesn't hollow her out. If you have ever felt like your practice, your business, or your own growth got shelved the moment you became responsible for someone else's, this conversation will meet you there. Listen to this episode of The Wellness CEO Evolution: Matrescence, Eco-Distress, and Building a Maternal Mental Health Practice with Allison Davis P.S. If you already know your number's been sitting in the same place for two years, I built something for you. It's a short diagnostic, takes about six minutes, and it'll tell you which of the five stages you're actually in and the one thing that's holding it. It's free. Go find out where you are.

Allison Davis is an author, scholar, and maternal mental health counselor who runs a telehealth private practice serving mothers across two states, with a focus on matrescence, the developmental period of becoming a mother. She teaches eco-psychology in the mythological studies program at Pacifica, and her research examines the intersection of motherhood and ecological crisis. Allison treats birth trauma using EMDR and trains providers to run nonclinical mothers' groups that offer support without pathologizing the ordinary struggles of matrescence. Her forthcoming book releases November 4th, and pre-orders through her website include a bonus workbook of expressive ecotherapy resources not available afterward.

She explains how she rediscovered the interests she had quietly set aside after having children, and why the pressure to keep kids constantly enrolled left everyone in her house stressed and irritable. It is an honest look at finding fulfillment across the long journey of parenting rather than in every individual moment of it. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://declutteryourlife.co/3-secrets-joyful-motherhood/ Quotes to ponder: "I am a mother, not a martyr. Some sacrifices come with the territory, but setting aside my passions because I have children is no longer one of them." "Art supplies scattered across every flat surface in my home have become evidence of creativity and love." "I said no often, protecting our downtime like the treasure it was, which allowed me to say yes to the things that mattered most."

Join the waitlist for first access and 30% off.Does the thought of getting through bedtime without that evening glass of wine feel almost impossible?Motherhood can leave your nervous system completely overwhelmed. You're overstimulated, exhausted, carrying the mental load and desperately looking for something that will help you switch off. It makes sense that alcohol can begin to feel like the quickest way to find relief.But what if the thing helping you cope in the moment is actually making you feel more anxious, affecting your sleep and leaving motherhood feeling even harder the next day?In this powerful Moment, Zoe is joined by author, entrepreneur and Made in Chelsea alumna Millie Mackintosh to unpack the reality behind “mummy needs wine” culture.Millie shares how easily alcohol became intertwined with motherhood, from champagne after giving birth to drinking at children's parties and counting down to that first evening glass. She explains why she eventually realised it was stealing her joy, and the practical first steps that helped her change her relationship with drinking.This isn't about judgement or labels. It's an honest conversation for anyone who has wondered whether alcohol is still working for them.

Social isolation may influence how the body recovers from pelvic floor injury after childbirth. Lindsay Burnett, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor and physician-scientist at UC San Diego, studies factors during pregnancy and postpartum that may affect pelvic floor muscle recovery, including medications, diet, exercise and social interaction. Her research grew from clinical observations connecting patients' perceptions of traumatic births with physical outcomes such as fecal incontinence. In a preclinical model, social support was associated with improved pelvic floor muscle regeneration and distinct metabolic changes. Burnett is investigating metabolites involved in wound healing and skeletal muscle regeneration, along with possible connections between social interaction, the gut microbiome and systemic metabolism. The research offers a biological perspective on why emotional and social support may matter during postpartum recovery. Series: "Motherhood Channel" [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 41640]

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial ended with an 11-to-1 split, a mistrial, and a system that reportedly had no tools to prevent the outcome. One holdout juror allegedly admitted reasonable doubt and refused to apply the court's instructions. Seven weeks of testimony, over 80 witnesses, and 38 hours of deliberation were erased on September 4.Defense attorney Bob Motta joins the show to analyze the full scope of what the mistrial exposed. He starts with the jury room — what jurors have publicly described about the holdout's conduct, why the defense's emergency appeal to the Massachusetts SJC was denied, and what the legal system's inability to act reveals about how well-equipped it is to handle cases built on psychiatric evidence.Motta moves to the legal maneuvering that followed. Reddington filed a Rule 25 motion on September 10, arguing the mistrial was not a manifest necessity and seeking an acquittal finding before the state can retry. The hearing is September 29. Reddington has publicly stated he won't accept prison time in any deal. Cruz has said only that his office will address the case at the appropriate time. Motta examines the power dynamic and where a realistic resolution might fall.The conversation closes on the question the system is avoiding. Lindsay is reportedly paralyzed at Tewksbury State Hospital on suicide watch. Patrick Clancy faces the prospect of another extended trial. Eleven jurors reportedly accepted Dr. Resnick's testimony that Lindsay's psychotic state, not malice, drove her actions. Motta addresses whether the first-degree murder framework can process this kind of case — and what continued prosecution signals about the system's treatment of maternal mental illness.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

 In this episode of the LIFTS Podcast, host Gwyneth Hyndman joins Rylee Andrews, a Maternal Support Professional with the Butte 4 C's, to talk about the realities facing families across Southwest Montana. Rylee shares what she is seeing in homes right now as the cost of groceries, gas, housing, childcare, and healthcare continues to put pressure on family budgets. She talks about the difficult choices parents are making, from delaying medical appointments to sacrificing their own needs so their children can have what they need. The conversation also explores the emotional toll of that stress, including what Rylee is seeing through postpartum depression screenings and the importance of recognizing when a parent may need additional support. She speaks openly about her own experience as a mom of three and how that lived experience helps her connect with families in an authentic, judgment-free way. Gwyneth and Rylee also talk about Meals for Moms, a program made possible through the generosity of an anonymous donor that provides nourishing meals to families during those exhausting first weeks with a new baby. Since launching in January 2026, the program has delivered hundreds of meals to local families—and has also helped connect families with additional home-visiting support. Guest Bio Rylee Andrews is a Maternal Support Professional with the Butte 4 C's, where she works alongside families during pregnancy and the first year of a baby's life. With a background that includes 10 years working in childcare and her own experience as a mother of three young children, Rylee brings both professional training and lived experience to her work. In This Episode Supporting families before they reach a crisis: Rylee explains how the Butte 4 C's works alongside families early, helping them build confidence, find resources, and create their own support networks. The realities of rising costs: A look at how higher costs for groceries, gas, housing, childcare, and healthcare are forcing Montana families to make difficult choices—and sometimes put their own needs last. Maternal mental health: Rylee shares what she is seeing through postpartum depression screenings and why financial stress, uncertainty, and isolation can have such a profound effect on parents and families. The importance of lived experience: As a mother of three herself, Rylee talks about how remembering her own challenging moments in early parenthood helps her connect with the families she serves. 406 Healthy Start: Learn how this home-visiting program supports families during pregnancy and baby's first year with education, encouragement, practical resources, and one-on-one support. Meals for Moms: Hear the story behind this community-supported program providing nourishing meals to families during those exhausting first weeks after bringing home a new baby—and how a simple meal can become a doorway to additional support. It takes a village: Gwyneth and Rylee talk about the importance of accepting help, building community connections, and reminding parents that they were never meant to do this alone. Looking toward the future: Rylee discusses the growing need for family services across Southwest Montana and the ongoing challenge of securing funding so organizations can continue to meet families where they are. Enjoying the podcast?

In episode #459 of The Hormone Puzzle Podcast, our guest, Rebecca Rumsey talks about The Truth Behind 'Advanced Maternal Age.

Today's Headlines: Trump skipped the 9/11 memorial ceremony in New York to fall asleep at the Pentagon's 9/11 ceremony. He then flew to Ireland where the Irish president seated him behind a notably small desk, protests featured an inflatable Trump being inflatable-Netanyahu'd in the streets, and he called Irish reunification "fantastic" and "a cool thing," breaking 28 years of official US neutrality on an issue that has historically caused quite a bit of conflict. This landed at an awkward moment given that Northern Ireland, Wales, and Scotland are meeting today to discuss potentially dissolving the United Kingdom entirely. Trump also lunged at ABC reporter Rachel Scott when she asked about his $5,000 check promise and pointed out the national debt is $40 trillion, the White House called journalist Aaron Rupar a "sick, deluded freak" for noting Natalie Harp was in Ireland, and Trump blamed Zelensky for global energy prices and told him to stop hitting Russian diesel. It was quite the weekend for the President. While we're on that, a Russian drone strike near the Polish border may have targeted a train carrying Boris Johnson and David Petraeus, prompting air raid warnings in Poland. In other news, An American diplomat accused of possessing child sex abuse material was quietly flown out of London on a secret military flight before police could question him. France expanded its Epstein investigation, identifying 13 new potential victims and multiple potential recruiters, one of whom was found dead in his home right before he was set to be questioned. On AI, Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Dario Amodei all posted this weekend calling for AI regulation and a slowdown — simultaneously — very sketchy. And finally, ectopic pregnancy deaths have nearly doubled since the pandemic and increased even more in states with abortion bans, and Texas responded by simply deciding not to analyze maternal mortality data from 2022 and 2023 — the years the abortion ban went into effect — making it impossible to measure its impact.

Before having children, she thought combining work and family was largely a logistical challenge, something you could solve with enough childcare, money and careful planning. Then she became a mother and realised she'd forgotten something much harder to quantify: love.We talk about the invisible mental load, wanting to be the primary attachment figure, the complicated emotions that can come with childcare, and why loving your work doesn't make it any easier to miss the school plays, appointments and everyday moments with your children.Because perhaps the tension between motherhood and ambition isn't an equation we're supposed to perfectly solve.

But becoming a mother forced her to rethink what success actually meant. She shares why having her two boys made her braver and more ambitious, but also far more protective of her time. Now, before saying yes to work, she asks whether it brings her joy, makes financial sense or genuinely moves the needle — because leaving her children has to be for a good reason.We talk about reinventing your career after children and the fear that comes with starting something completely new. Frankie opens up about imposter syndrome as a founder and the important realisation that even the most successful people don't have everything figured out, they're learning as they go too.Frankie also speaks incredibly openly about depression, anxiety and maternal mental health. She was talking publicly about her mental health at a time when those conversations were far less common, and shares why mothers need permission to admit they're struggling without first having to reassure everyone that they love their children.We also explore something I think so many mothers will recognise: how easily the things that bring us joy disappear once we have children. Frankie shares why, after losing confidence in her singing following The Saturdays, she's started vocal training again — not for an audition or career goal, but simply because she loves it.This is such a warm and reassuring conversation about ambition after motherhood, mum guilt, mental health, career pivots and permitting yourself to want something for yourself too.

Chegou no estúdio, numa terça-feira de manhã, uma onda de energia!Bia e Branca são gêmeas, amigas e também companheiras de profissão. Durante anos, construíram uma carreira juntas no nado sincronizado, e essa parceria continua hoje na maternidade.Em cinco anos, foram seis filhos no total: três cada uma.A maternidade das duas se entrelaça: uma assiste ao parto da outra, uma vive uma perda gestacional enquanto a outra engravida, e a felicidade de uma é também a felicidade da outra. Mas as experiências de cada uma são diferentes.Bia teve partos rápidos, viveu uma perda gestacional e, depois do nascimento do segundo filho, procurou ajuda psiquiátrica. Engravidou do terceiro filho com DIU.Branca viveu uma gestação marcada pela suspeita de síndrome de Down, um parto com episiotomia e estava grávida enquanto acompanhava a mãe, que estava morrendo. Hoje, ela vive o doce puerpério do seu terceiro filho.Elas contam aqui suas experiências de maternidade, falam do amor que sentem uma pela outra e contam sobre a leveza e o otimismo que as caracterizam.Com Bia e Branca, falamos sobre irmandade e sobre essa experiência tão particular de ter alguém ao lado que conhece profundamente a sua história.

What if the opportunities you're waiting for aren't passing you by because you lack experience, but because the right people don't know what you're capable of?In this powerful Moment, Zoe is joined by personal branding expert and entrepreneur Amelia Sordell to explore why women need to stop waiting to be picked and start making themselves visible.Amelia explains that your personal brand isn't simply what you post on social media. It's the impression you create through your values, behaviour, knowledge, experience and the way you show up in the world. You don't need to become an influencer or add another overwhelming task to your life—but you do need to take control of your own story.They explore why so many talented women and mothers downplay their achievements, while people with far less experience confidently put themselves forward. Amelia also shares the “big red button” moments that changed her life, from leaving a secure job with two young children to closing the multimillion-pound agency she no longer wanted to run.Her message is simple but powerful: confidence doesn't arrive before you act. Confidence is built by finding the courage to take a risk, discovering that you can handle it and then doing it again.

On the September 4, 2026 episode of The Charlie James Show, host Charlie James provides extensive commentary on the mistrial declared in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial due to an 11-1 hung jury. James strongly criticizes the defense, arguing that Clancy's acts of strangling her three children were premeditated, deliberate, and unjustifiable despite postpartum psychosis claims. Callers weigh in on personal responsibility and systemic failures within medical care, while James draws comparisons to other recent cases of maternal infanticide. Additionally, the broadcast addresses political headlines, including California Governor Gavin Newsom's campaign visit to South Carolina, local redistricting debates, and upcoming Labor Day weekend events across the state.

Martha Redpath, a CNM turned burnout and boundaries coach, joins Augustine to talk about what happens when the people who hold space for everyone else run out of space for themselves. Martha traces her path from home birth CNM in Vermont to founder of Provider Space Coaching — a pivot that came out of her own reckoning with alcohol, burnout, and eventually grief after losing her husband.The conversation moves through the state of community-based midwifery today (closures, legal exposure, the pressure CPMs face that CNMs often don't), the martyrdom culture baked into midwifery training, and what it actually looks like to teach boundaries as a clinical skill rather than a personality trait. Martha and Augustine also get into nervous system regulation, the difference between CNM and CPM entry points into boundary-setting, and why the ability to disappoint people — kindly and clearly — might be the most underrated skill in this profession.Key TopicsMartha's path: nursing → home birth CNM in Vermont → 10 years in a small hospital birthing center → burnout, alcohol, and the pivot to coachingThe current landscape for community-based midwives: closures, lawsuits, board investigations, and the Texas trend of using public social media posts as testimony against midwivesHistorical spikes in home birth rates (Ricki Lake's documentary, the ACA, COVID) and where rates stand nowCNM vs. CPM pathways into professional boundary-setting — and why CPMs often enter the field less boundariedThe martyrdom/"lone cowboy" culture in community-based midwifery, and generational shifts around itMartha's coaching framework: strengths-based reflection across eight life domains, nervous system regulation, "tiny habits," and discomfort resilienceGrief as a parallel thread to birth work, following the loss of Martha's husbandThe value of one truly safe confidant ("marble jar friends") for midwives carrying constant on-call stressResources Mentioned:Martha's coaching practice: providerspacecoaching.com — sliding scale fees, one-off debrief calls, and a six-week burnout package built around The Big Life JournalStudent Midwife's Keepsake Journal — the HIPAA-appropriate documentation journal mentioned in the mid-episode ad, with space for 100 birth records and built-in compliance guidance

Three days. Seventeen hours. Twelve jurors, five possible verdicts, and a door nobody can see behind.Day three of deliberations in the Lindsay Clancy trial ended Monday afternoon with no verdict and instructions to come back Tuesday. Robin breaks down where the case actually stands...the criminal responsibility standard, what "not guilty" would really mean here, and why the jury's request for the pill bottles and the knife tells you they're doing the work.Then the sidewalk: the pink shirts, the twenty-five-plus Etsy designs, the defense attorney fan merchandise, the free coffee at a verdict watch, and the fact that somebody bought the Duxbury house.Plus a viral post arguing that a not-guilty verdict from a nine-woman jury is grounds for repealing the Nineteenth Amendment, and the math problem that argument doesn't survive.And in Philadelphia in the House of Horrors case...fifty hard drives, five urns, four missing women, no bodies, and what investigators say they found on one of those drives this week, which is something Western media very much claims doesn't exist as a theory. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-unfiltered-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.TikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedevilpolitics

Pregnancy and infancy are critical periods in children's development and are also the most economically vulnerable times for families. Rx Kids is a public health initiative addressing this dilemma for families in Michigan with a bold approach: It gives moms $1,500 during pregnancy and $500/month for their baby's first six months-no strings attached. Announced in early July, Cleveland has been selected as the first expansion site outside of Michigan.rnrnFounded by Dr. Mona Hanna and Luke Shaefer, Ph.D., Rx Kids is the nation's first-ever community-wide prenatal and infant cash prescription program. Launched in 2024 and serving more than 15,000 families, the public health intervention is built upon the principle of trusting mothers. It focuses on improving birth outcomes, increasing food and housing stability, and providing every child a healthy start in life. Now, a new study has found that neonatal mortality-the death of an infant within the first 28 days of life-fell by nearly 50% in Flint following the launch of Rx Kids.rnrnDr. Mona Hanna is the Director of Rx Kids and Associate Dean for Public Health at Michigan State University College of Human Medicine. In 2026, Dr. Hanna was named one of Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in Health for her work leading Rx Kids. She was also named one of Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World and recognized as one of USA Today's Women of the Century for her role in uncovering the Flint water crisis and leading recovery efforts.

As part of our summer hiatus, we're bringing you an extended version of one of our favourite episodes – the doctor who was fired for washing his hands. We originally released this episode in 2023 as a short story. Then this summer, as part of our CBC Radio Summer Series, we reworked and extended the episode – to become a full-length show. Reminder we're back in September resuming our regular season episodes. But for now, enjoy the crazy story of Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis.Did you know in the late 1800s, doctors didn't wash their hands? When Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis – an obstetrician in Vienna – realized women in his hospital were dying at staggering rates, he implemented staff-wide mandatory hand washing. Maternal death rates dropped by 90%. But doctors weren't happy. Semmelweis was called "crazy," told his idea was superstitious, not scientific.Ask us Anything:Email us: hello@apostrophepodcasts.caWrite to us on socials: @apostrophepodLeave us a voicemailWe don't regret to inform you – you can now listen ad-free!

When high-profile cases like Lindsay Clancy hit the news, public fear and sensationalism surrounding Postpartum Psychosis (PPP) spike—making clinical clarity and lived experience more vital than ever. In this special re-released episode, we sit down with Aaisha Alvi, author of "A Mom Like That: A Memoir of Postpartum Psychosis." Aaisha is a two-time PPP survivor who navigated severe hallucinations, delusions, and several medical dismissals before finally receiving life-saving psychiatric treatment.Community birth workers, midwives, and doulas are often the primary line of defense in the first 14 days postpartum. In this conversation, we break down:* The clinical differences between Postpartum Depression (1 in 5) and Postpartum Psychosis (1-2 per 1,000).* What hallucinations and delusions actually look and feel like from the inside.* Why calling PPP "rare" leads to dangerous medical dismissals in emergency rooms and clinics.* Exact red flags, key phrases, and emergency protocols birth workers must use when advocating for a client in crisis.CONTENT WARNING: This conversation includes discussion of severe perinatal mental health crises, intrusive thoughts, and psychiatric emergencies. RESOURCES & LINKS:• Learn more about Aaisha Alvi & grab her memoir: https://www.aaishaalvi.com• Follow Aaisha on Instagram: @AaishaAlviWrites• Postpartum Support International (PSI): Call or text 1-800-944-4773 | https://www.postpartum.net• National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: Call or text 988• Explore Midwifery Wisdom courses & resources: https://www.midwiferywisdom.com

For most of modern obstetric practice, the question "what does the CDC recommend?" and the question "what does ACOG recommend?" had the same answer. In 2026, they no longer do. In this episode, we walk through how the two most influential sources of maternal immunization guidance in the United States came apart, what each one now actually says, and — most importantly — what that means for the pregnant patient sitting in your office, or for the pregnant person reading conflicting headlines and trying to decide what to do. What we cover How we got here. The May 2025 announcement removing COVID-19 vaccination from federal recommendations for healthy children and pregnant women; the replacement of the entire Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices in June 2025; the shift to "shared" or "individual-based" clinical decision-making; and the January 2026 overhaul of the childhood schedule made without the standard ACIP process. ACOG's break from ACIP. In February 2026, ACOG withdrew as a liaison organization to ACIP, citing concerns that the committee's scientific integrity and evidence-based approach had been compromised. The first independent maternal schedule. On June 10, 2026, ACOG released its 2026 Maternal Immunization Schedule — the first time the College has issued a schedule that differs from federal recommendations. It is endorsed by 13 medical societies and health organizations. Where the two schedules actually diverge. ACOG places four vaccines in the "routinely recommended during pregnancy" category: influenza (inactivated or recombinant), COVID-19, Tdap, and RSV. Current federal guidance routinely recommends Tdap and RSV in pregnancy, and treats COVID-19 vaccination as an individual decision-making conversation rather than standard preventive care. The thimerosal question. Federal guidance advises thimerosal-free influenza products; ACOG's position is that thimerosal-containing vaccines are safe in pregnancy. What hasn't changed: the evidence. Pregnancy remains a recognized risk factor for severe COVID-19 illness, ICU admission, and mechanical ventilation. Millions of doses administered in pregnancy have not shown an increased risk of adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Maternal vaccination transfers antibodies transplacentally to infants under six months, who are too young to be vaccinated themselves. The counseling problem. As of February 2026, roughly 11% of pregnant women had received a COVID-19 vaccine this season — a substantial drop from the prior year. We talk candidly about what happens to uptake when guidance becomes contradictory, and how to have a productive conversation with a patient who has read three different things from three "official" sources. Practical guidance for clinicians. Documentation, timing windows, coadministration, and how to counsel without either dismissing a patient's hesitancy or overstating certainty. Key timing windows in ACOG's 2026 schedule Influenza — inactivated or recombinant product only, any trimester, ideally before the start of flu season. COVID-19 — any trimester, any available product, with emphasis on vaccination at the earliest opportunity. Tdap — every pregnancy regardless of prior Tdap history, preferably early in the 27–36 week window. RSV (Abrysvo) — a single dose between 32 weeks 0 days and 36 weeks 6 days; infant monoclonal antibody is an alternative, including in subsequent pregnancies after a prior Abrysvo dose. The takeaway Federal recommendations changed. The underlying science did not. Where guidance conflicts, the question for clinicians is not which agency has more authority but which recommendation is supported by the evidence — and how to communicate that clearly enough that patients can make an informed decision rather than a confused one.

During August, the Motherkind team and I try to practise what we preach by slowing down, taking some time off and making the juggle just a little easier over the summer holidays.So, throughout the month, we're bringing you some of our most listened-to episodes of the year so far.If you're the person who remembers the PE kits, books the appointments, sorts the childcare, knows when the suncream needs reapplying and automatically assumes you're looking after the children unless you've specifically arranged otherwise — this episode is for you.This week's episode is with author Lou Beckett for a brilliantly honest conversation about being the default parent and the invisible mental, emotional and physical load so many mothers carry.Lou describes default parenting as something bigger than the mental load. It's not only thinking about everything that needs to happen; it's doing it, managing it and carrying the underlying assumption that ultimately, you are responsible. And often, couples don't consciously choose these roles at all. They simply fall into them after having children and never stop to renegotiate them.We talk about what that does to your identity, your relationship and your time — including Lou's experience of stepping away from her career while her husband's career accelerated, and the gradual feeling that she had lost sight of who she was outside motherhood.Lou also shares what has actually helped them change the dynamic at home: having honest conversations about responsibility, creating space for both parents' needs and recognising that wanting time for yourself doesn't make you selfish. We also talk about the enormous standards mothers place on themselves, comparison, mum guilt and why sometimes “good enough” really is enough.This is a funny, validating and incredibly relatable conversation for any mother who has ever thought: Why does everything seem to fall to me?

OK, Fam - it's the one you've been waiting for! On October 9, 2020, 27-year-old Taylor Parker was pulled over on a Texas highway. When the cops approached the car, they found a nearly hysterical Parker holding a baby she claimed to have JUST given birth to. It would quickly be revealed that that was a lie. Please, please, PLEASE pull over as you listen to us unravel this shocking and terrifying story of murder, kidnapping, and the most exasperating case of willful blindness and/or TOTAL COMPLICITY we've ever seen.
