Episode 3114: Shawna Scafe examines the mothers our culture applauds and the mothers it quietly dismisses, starting with that loaded little phrase, just a mom. She shares what it felt like to be called that after leaving her career, and makes the case that a mother's worth is not something anyone else gets to hand out. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://simpleonpurpose.ca/moms-without-value-just-a-mom/ Quotes to ponder: "It's a term that makes it socially acceptable to discreetly tear down the value of being a mother." "For modern moms there is little value put on being a stay at home mom, it's not enough." "You have to know that you are valuable as a mother no matter how mundane it may feel."

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.

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?
There's a particular kind of quiet worry that comes with being Childfree, the suspicion that everyone else received some piece of wiring you're missing. Dr. Amy Blackstone spent her mid-30s certain she was broken as a woman, and she went looking for the research to explain what had gone wrong with her. What she found became her life's work. There is no maternal instinct waiting to switch on, and the majority of Childfree people she interviewed had opted out for a reason that genuinely surprised her: they watched their parents do it well, understood exactly what good parenting asks of a person, and chose to put their energy somewhere else. She joins Dr. Jay Zigmont, CFP® for a conversation that runs from the political noise around falling birth rates to what the research actually says about regret, and lands on the thing that reframes everything. If you feel wrong, it may be because you've been measuring yourself against the wrong population.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why there is no scientific basis for the maternal instinct, and how the absence of that supposed pull leaves so many people convinced something is wrong with themThe biggest surprise in Dr. Amy Blackstone's research, that most Childfree people she interviewed had good childhoods and opted out precisely because they saw how much good parenting requiresWhat the research actually shows about regret, why the distinction between Childfree and Childless matters so much, which group does report unhappiness later in life, and how that compares to the share of parents who regret having kidsWhy measuring your life against the standard life script guarantees you'll feel like you're doing it wrong, and how comparing yourself to the right population changes the entire pictureHow stigma around the Childfree choice has shifted over the decades, what today's pronatalist politics and policy fights look like, and why roughly a quarter of the country remains almost entirely underservedResources Mentioned: Laura Carroll, Childfree author and advocate who revitalized International Childfree Day: https://childfreeinsights.com/resources/podcast/episode-74/ Marcia Drut-Davis, author of Confessions of a Childfree Woman:https://www.amazon.com/stores/Marcia-Drut-Davis/author/B08429L4CL The Childfree Path to a Healthier Planet | Jay Zigmont, PhD, MBA, CFP® | TEDxWilsonPark: https://youtu.be/ltZpfHCpHPg?si=38LrZlkf4oMGWyE8 Episode Guest:Dr. Amy Blackstone is a public sociologist who studies and writes about reproductive justice, population trends, workplace sexual harassment, activism and other forms of civic engagement, power and politics, and any other topic that strikes her fancy, hits the news, or gets myopic dingdongs with too much power riled up. In recent years, much of her focus has been dedicated to the COVID-19 pandemic and what's been left in its wake: a silent but no less crushing aftershock, an illness known as Long COVID, that has claimed millions, snatching her from public life, while the world carries on as if nothing has happened. Her book, CHILDFREE BY CHOICE (Penguin Random House) enraged pronatalists the world over, a career highlight. Dr. Blackstone worked as a professor of sociology at the University of Maine for a quarter century and she now looks forward to a future of retirement and troublemaking.Connect with Dr. Amy Blackstone:Website: amyblackstonephd.com Instagram: instagram.com/a.maria.blackstone/ Childfree by Choice by Dr. Amy Blackstone https://www.amazon.com/stores/Amy-Blackstone/author/B07T7TM4DT Episode Host:Dr. Jay Zigmont, CFP® (he/him) is the Founder of Childfree Wealth, a life and financial planning firm dedicated to helping people simplify their finances so they can live an amazing Childfree life.

Althea Hrdlichka opened a birth center in Colorado in 2020 — a state where CPMs were not legally allowed to practice in birth centers. She then changed the law. She opened a second location in 2026.

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've ever wondered why you're eating well, exercising, and still struggling with brain fog, exhaustion, or stubborn belly fat, this episode is going to completely change how you think about your body.This week I'm joined by bestselling author and women's health expert Dr Mindy Pelz. We explore why so much health advice has been designed around male bodies, why chronic stress changes everything for women, and how understanding your hormones can help you feel calmer, think more clearly and work with your body rather than against it.We also dive into fasting for women, why it isn't one-size-fits-all, what every mother should know about stress and self-care, and Dr Mindy's fascinating perspective on why perimenopause isn't something to fear—but a powerful new chapter of leadership and confidence.Whether you're navigating early motherhood, feeling overwhelmed by brain fog, or starting to think about perimenopause, this conversation is packed with practical, hopeful insights.

Corina was literally born into midwifery. She came into the world in an old school bus on The Farm — the legendary intentional community in Tennessee founded by Stephen Gaskin and Ina May Gaskin — and grew up surrounded by communal living, the absence of money, and birth as an ordinary, community experience. After years of practicing midwifery across six countries, raising three daughters as a single mother, navigating a nine-year mental health journey, and returning to The Farm as part of a new generation of midwives, she has arrived at something extraordinary: a framework for motherhood that she believes could change everything.This episode is for every midwife who has ever burned out, every mother who has lost herself, and everyone who believes birth work is about so much more than catching babies.In this episode we cover:Growing up on The Farm — communal living, kid herds, no money, and birth as a normal community eventLeaving The Farm at 10, landing in Hollywood Florida, and the culture shock of the "real world"Her first birth on her 21st birthday — and three months apprenticing with Ina May and the Farm midwives that summerGetting licensed in 1999, practicing in Florida, taking students to Honduras, and attending births across six countriesBecoming a mother as a midwife — and how her first postpartum experience shattered every expectation she hadA nine-year mental health journey including depression, anxiety, and eventually a bipolar diagnosis — and the shame of suffering in silence as "the one who knows"The vision for Motherfly — a new archetype for motherhood rooted in self-compassion, creativity, and community rather than martyrdom and supermom mythologyWhat matrescence is, why it matters, and why it should be a household wordReturning to The Farm in 2020 — driving through the Confederate-flag South with her Black daughters, the financial relief, and the racial reckoning of arriving in a predominantly white communityThe onboarding meeting that became a confrontation — and the "Midwives for Black Lives" sign that nobody would respond toHolding Ina May's legacy with nuance — the good, the harm, and the missed opportunityFounding Community Birth and Wellness with three other midwives — and the spontaneous passing of the torch at the Sanctuary SummitThe Motherfly nine-month group coaching container, the Matrescent Circle, and what's coming nextWhy our culture does a so-so job birthing babies and a terrible job birthing mothersResources & Links:

In this episode, Augustine sits down with Dr. Koen Deurloo, a Dutch gynecologist at the Diakonessenhuis in Utrecht and the first physician in the Netherlands to perform a maternal-assisted cesarean (MAC) — a technique that lets the birthing parent help lift their own baby from the incision during a planned cesarean. What began as a single patient's request in 2018 has grown into a practice Dr. Deurloo has now performed more than 200 times, and one he freely shares with hospitals around the world.This conversation goes far beyond the surgical technique. Dr. Deurloo talks candidly about the home births of his own two daughters and how that experience shaped his respect for the midwifery model of care, learning to ask "why" instead of overriding a patient's choice, and building one of the most collaborative OB-midwife relationships in the Netherlands — a country where roughly 90% of pregnancies start with midwifery-led care. He shares research on women who request care outside standard guidelines, why the "dead baby card" says more about a provider's own trauma than about safety, and how he trains residents, midwives, and doulas to work from a shared goal instead of competing silos.Dr. Deurloo is also the author of Door de ogen van een gynaecoloog ("Through the Eyes of a Gynecologist"), a collection of 35 stories from his clinical life.Whether you're a physician, midwife, doula, or student, this episode offers a rare, first-hand look at what it looks like when a high-risk hospital system chooses trust and autonomy over rigid protocol — and how that shift actually happened, person by person.In this episode we cover:The story behind the first maternal-assisted cesarean in the Netherlands and how the procedure has evolved since 2018What selection criteria Dr. Deurloo uses for MAC, and why he doesn't offer it routinely to every patientHow the Dutch maternity system integrates first- and second-degree midwives with hospital-based obstetric careDr. Deurloo's research on women who request birth outside clinical guidelines — and what happened to their outcomesReframing the "dead baby card" as a signal of provider trauma, not patient riskHow to build trust between physicians, midwives, and doulas without changing the actual clinical carePractical advice for starting pilot programs and finding your "pioneers" when introducing new practices into a hospital systemResources & Links:
If AI continues to develop without appropriate guardrails, a worst-case scenario could lead to human extinction, warns the 'godfather of artificial intelligence' Geoffrey Hinton. But the Nobel Prize winner has a solution: AI must foster 'maternal' instincts, empathy and kindness. Hinton tells host Nahlah Ayed that it's fairly inevitable AI will become smarter than humans, but if we could make it care more for us than it did about itself, good things could happen. *This episode originally aired on Feb. 18, 2026.Like this episode?

Do you want to know why most daughters of narcissistic mothers remain stuck in the cycle of pain and toxicity never fully breaking free? There's an immense value in learning about maternal narcissism and the trauma we carry as a result of it. This helps bring awareness to the topic and give words to what we have experienced, or are still experiencing. But awareness alone is not enough to bring true resolution and healing. Awareness is the first step, not the only one. To fully recover from maternal narcissistic abuse, and not only that, but to fully break free, reclaim your life and be your authentic self, there are 2 more steps you need to take. In this episode I share what these 2 steps are and the fundamental difference between following old patterns on rehearsing, and actually resolving.

Feminists have been arguing about the politics of homemaking for a long time. In her 1963 feminist classic, The Feminine Mystique, Betty Friedan famously compared the suburban American home to a “comfortable concentration camp”, arguing that homemaking was not just a waste of a woman's talents, but a form of degradation.Maternal feminists reject this characterisation. But they also highlight the ways in which stay-at-home parents – mostly, but by no means exclusively, mothers – are made vulnerable, particularly financially. My guest today is focused on how public policy can best reduce this vulnerability.Ivana Greco is a homemaker and homeschooling mother of four. She has a degree from Harvard Law School and practiced law for ten years. She now writes about issues impacting homemakers, women, children and families. Hosted on Acast.

Episode 3088: Crystal Karges explores how intuitive eating can help expectant mothers navigate changing appetites, food aversions, intense cravings, and anxiety around the scale. Her compassionate guidance encourages listeners to honor physical cues, seek support, and cultivate a peaceful relationship with food throughout the journey into motherhood. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.crystalkarges.com/blog/weight-gain-cravings-and-hunger-oh-my-how-to-trust-your-body-during-pregnancy Quotes to ponder: “The most beautiful thing that was reinforced to me during each of my pregnancies was that my body was always right all along and knew exactly what I needed to grow each of our precious babies.” “If you quiet the external noise long enough, you can find that your body does know exactly what you are needing - whether it is an extra snack before bedtime, a power-nap midday, or avoiding a certain food that just doesn't seem appealing.” “What's most important during your pregnancy is not how much weight you've gained or what the number on the scale says but rather, that you are solidifying a healthy relationship with food and your body.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Improving maternal health outcomes requires coordinated systems that ensure every patient receives the right level of care at the right time. In this bonus, long-form episode, Daniel Edney, ASTHOpresident-elect and state health officer for the Mississippi State Department of Health, explains how Mississippi is using Rural Health Transformation Program grant funding to build a statewide obstetrical system of care, establish new neonatal intensive care units, strengthen EMS coordination, and close critical gaps in care for rural communities. He also discusses how data, innovation, and broad partnerships are driving the state's effort to reduce maternal and infant mortality. Later, Ramya Flores, director of Maternal and Infant Health at ASTHO, puts Mississippi's work into a national context, highlighting how states are adopting levels of maternal care to improve access to risk-appropriate services. She outlines the partnerships, investments, and implementation strategies that support successful maternal care systems and previews ASTHO's latest resources to help states advance this work.
In this episode, Augustine shares a real one-on-one consult from the very first Midwifery Wisdom Fellowship cohort — a conversation with Emmelia.Emmelia is navigating a question many apprentice and student midwives face: what does a sustainable path in this work actually look like? She's processing betrayal by a preceptor who left her stranded without signed-off skills, wrestling with whether solo practice or a birth center model fits her life, and trying to figure out if she can be both a hands-on provider and a business owner without losing herself — or her family — in the process.Augustine and Emmelia talk through the Dunning-Kruger effect and why that crash in confidence after early competence is actually a sign of real growth. They talk about processing trauma from an unsupportive preceptor relationship, the difference between scarcity and abundance mindset in a competitive field, and why so many birth centers close within a few years while others last for decades. It's an honest look at the tension between calling and capacity — and a reminder that building something sustainable is its own form of midwifery.Emmelia generously gave us permission to share this consult, believing other students and apprentices working through similar struggles might find something useful in it.To learn more about the next cohort of the Midwifery Wisdom Fellowship starting September 1, 2026, visit our website https://www.midwiferywisdomcollective.com/midwifery-wisdom-fellowship-2

Only in this past year did it come on my radar that some therapy clinics are offering prenatal therapy. While I can personally relate to the desire to have a therapist guide you through such a complex stage of health, I thought that because it isn't offered widely, the evidence base would probably be weak.I couldn't have been more wrong. The evidence for prenatal prevention therapy is robust for improving:Pelvic health. Pelvic floor muscle training during pregnancy reduces urinary incontinence by 28% and cuts the risk of severe perineal tears in half (Zhang et al., 2024).Pregnancy outcomes. Prenatal exercise programs lower the risk of gestational diabetes by 25%, hypertensive disorders by 33%, and cesarean delivery by 14% (Xiang et al., 2026).Mental health. Mind-body interventions like yoga, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral therapy significantly reduce prenatal anxiety, depression, and stress — while also improving pain management and self-efficacy (Miao et al., 2026).Maternal role and quality of life. OT-specific prenatal interventions improve maternal quality of life, emotional regulation, and coping — with benefits that persist into the postpartum period (Karakus & Akyurek, 2026).Despite this evidence, prenatal therapy remains vastly underutilized. The gap between what the research supports and what is actually available to pregnant individuals represents one of the biggest opportunities in our profession right now.In this course, we'll welcome Marissa Ruhl from Thrive OT, who is paving the way in offering these services and will share what she has learned about helping to build a thriving practice around this massive need.See full course details here:https://otpotential.com/continuing-education/course/prenatal-therapy See all OT CEU courses here:https://otpotential.com/ceu-podcast-coursesCheck our our live webinar schedule here:https://otpotential.com/live-ot-ceu-webinarsSupport the show by using the OTPOTENTIAL Medbridge Code:https://otpotential.com/blog/promo-code-for-medbridgeTry 2 free OT Potential courses here:https://otpotential.com/free-ot-ceusSupport the show

Susie went off on people with misophonia out of nowhere. Sarah teaches us about "analog rules." We discuss the insane documentary, Maternal Instinct, where a woman pretended to be pregnant and then kills a pregnant woman and steals her baby. We learn how this happened and discuss how the medical professionals who knew she couldn't be pregnant claimed they couldn't alert anyone because of HIPPA rules. We find out why young people are growing out their bushes, and we are not sure we support this. Maybe a little bush maintenance would be a nice compromise? An Amazon worker was delivering a package when he was confronted with his own lost cat at the home of his neighbor (who had stolen it), and after he took his cat back he was fired. We find out how climate change is affecting animals, and it turns out, we're not the only ones who are sweating our balls off.00:00 - Why Toy Story's Message of Imagination Matters03:14 - From Space Analogs to Personal Growth and Cozy Comfort15:18 - Gen Z's 'Bush in a Bikini' Trend and Pubic Hair Debates27:58 - The Amazon Driver Who Found His Lost Cat at a Delivery34:57 - Unraveling the Web of Lies: Maternal Instinct Documentary Part 142:35 - The Horrific Fake Pregnancy, Murder, and Baby Theft59:18 - HIPAA's Role and the Bystander Effect in a Tragic Case01:01:49 - Climate Change's Effect on Behavior and Episode TakeawaysBrain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Head to https://cozyearth.com and use my code BRAINCANDY for an exclusive 20% off.

When a Texas trooper pulled her over, Taylor Parker said she was rushing to the hospital, doing CPR on the newborn baby she just gave birth to in her car. But when doctors examined her, they realized she'd never been pregnant. For months, Parker had told everyone she was carrying her boyfriend's baby, posing on social media with a pregnant belly. But friends knew she'd had a hysterectomy years before. Then as her purported due date arrived, miles away, police made a gruesome discovery. The Netflix documentary “Maternal Instinct” recounts the 2020 story of Taylor Parker, and how her efforts to fake a pregnancy resulted in a tragic conclusion. The film uses body-worn camera footage, digital evidence, and interviews with Parker's boyfriend and others to piece together her elaborate scheme and the lengths she went to resolve it.

Before she was a Netflix documentary, Reagan Simmons-Hancock had a name, a daughter, and a baby due in weeks. This is the part the cameras skipped. The Netflix documentary Maternal Instinct tells the story of Taylor Parker, who faked a pregnancy for nearly a year — fake ultrasounds, a silicone belly, even a gender reveal — before committing one of the rarest and most disturbing crimes there is: fetal abduction. In 2020, in the tiny town of New Boston, Texas, that lie ended in the murder of her friend Reagan Simmons-Hancock. Tyrella and Nikita walk through how a con artist with a fabricated oil-and-gas fortune slowly escalated toward the unthinkable. Part 1 traces Reagan's life and the years of deception by Taylor Parker that led to October 9th: the cons, the fake inheritance, the invented villains, and the warnings no one could legally act on. Part 2 covers everything Netflix left out — what Taylor did from behind bars. Patrons have it now; everyone else, it drops Thursday. Content warning: this episode discusses graphic violence and the death of an infant.
On this week's The Lo Life, Lo is joined once again by resident true crime junkie Hayley Orrantia for an episode filled with jaw-dropping stories that prove truth really is stranger than fiction.The episode kicks off with the unbelievable true story of the woman responsible for kidnapping thousands of babies across America and how she managed to get away with it for decades. It's one of the most shocking scandals in U.S. history, and the details are almost impossible to believe.Then, Lo and Hayley dive into Netflix's Maternal Instinct—breaking down the lies, manipulation, shocking deception, and the question that had them yelling at the screen: How were so many red flags ignored? Without giving away the biggest twists, they unpack the psychology behind the people involved, why warning signs are so often dismissed, and how one unbelievable story spiraled into tragedy.Whether you've already watched Maternal Instinct or you're simply obsessed with unbelievable true crime stories, this episode will leave you questioning just how well we really know the people around us.Grab your coffee, buckle up, and get ready for a wild ride.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

They say money can't buy happiness…And that certainly proved true in 1972, when Tony Baekeland – heir to the Bakelite plastic dynasty – plunged a knife into his mother Barbara's heart in their London penthouse.But behind the lurid headlines lay a trail of dysfunctional family secrets, taboo mother-son incest and twisted DIY conversion therapy: all washed down by a toxic cocktail of wealth and excess.
