Podcasts about motherhood

ADHD can go unnoticed for decades, especially in women who learn to compensate through perfectionism, overpreparing, and working under pressure. It often isn't until the demands of work, motherhood, or another major life transition become too much that the underlying struggle comes into view. In this episode, I sit down with ADHD counselor Jenna Free, author of The Simple Guide to ADHD Regulation, to explore what she calls the frantic-crash cycle. She explains how chronic fight-or-flight may intensify ADHD symptoms and why nervous system regulation can make other tools and strategies easier to use. You'll learn: Why women and high achievers can compensate for ADHD for decades before their usual coping strategies stop working How perfectionism, procrastination, and working under pressure can keep the frantic-crash cycle going The physical signs of nervous system dysregulation, including shallow breathing, muscle tension, and rushing even when there's no real urgency Why calming your body is only the first step in creating lasting change How you can move away from all-or-nothing behavior and build a more sustainable way of getting things done A diagnosis can help you understand how your brain works, but it doesn't have to define what's possible. By learning to recognize and regulate survival mode, you can create the conditions for your brain to work at its best.

Emily Calandrelli (more widely known as Space Gal) grew up in Morgantown, West Virginia, with no scientists or engineers in her orbit. She chose engineering for the paycheck, discovered a love of science communication along the way, and eventually became the first woman in the country to solo-host a national science show. On this episode of She Pivots, Emily talks about pitching adult science shows for a decade only to hear that networks didn't think their male-dominated audiences would relate to a female host; pivoting to create Emily's Wonder Lab (the Netflix show that made her a household name to millions of parents and kids); and turning the show's cancellation into two bestselling books and a thriving YouTube channel. She also opens up about announcing her second pregnancy via a weather balloon at the edge of space, fighting for a federal law after being humiliated by TSA over breast milk ice packs, and why she's finally letting herself scale back with baby number three.

From dropping my youngest daughter off at college to navigating comparison, motherhood, vulnerability, and the emotions of entering a new era, I share what this season is teaching me about letting go, trusting what's next, and having the courage to fully jump into your life. We also explore the idea of alchemy, how the things you focus on shape the way you experience difficult seasons, and how to know when life is asking you to pivot versus stay and transform where you are.I also share more about Soul Writing Out Loud and why reconnecting with your intuition, higher power, and inner guidance can help you stop outsourcing your answers. If you're navigating change, emotional overwhelm, fear, uncertainty, or a season where you no longer recognize the version of yourself you used to be, this conversation is an invitation to reclaim your sovereignty, choose what you want to focus on, and step more fully into the next chapter of your life.IN THIS EPISODE:(0:00) The Cold Plunge Wake-Up Call(1:59) Welcome to The Danette May Show(3:50) Eclipse Energy, Emotions & Vulnerability(7:33) Entering a New Era & Asking Bigger Questions(9:19) Stop Dipping Your Toe In and Jump(11:28) Dropping My Daughter Off at College(15:57) Comparison, Motherhood & Feeling Inadequate(23:43) Turning Hard Seasons Into Alchemy(25:47) Should You Pivot or Alchemize?(31:02) Soul Writing Out Loud & Inner Guidance(34:14) What You Focus On Expands(36:08) Reclaiming Your Sovereignty(37:14) Closing Thoughts & Resources

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when you survive the thing that changed your life—but no longer recognize the woman on the other side?In this episode of It's Hertime, Cody sits down with artist, author, and therapeutic arts practitioner Nerissa Balland, whose life changed when she was diagnosed with cancer while five months pregnant.During treatment, survival became the priority. But when treatment ended, another kind of healing began: figuring out who she was now.That experience eventually led Nerissa to speak with more than 100 young mothers facing cancer. Their stories became the inspiration for her book, Canvas of Courage: The Art of Healing, Hope, and Gratitude for Young Mothers Facing Cancer, which brings together 19 personal stories, research, lived experience, and original artwork. But this conversation is about more than cancer.Cody and Nerissa explore what happens to our identity when life changes us, why functioning and healing aren't necessarily the same thing, and how creativity can help us express and process experiences we may not have words for.They talk about survivorship, motherhood, fear, resilience, grief, gratitude, and the strange question so many women eventually find themselves asking:Who am I now?Because cancer isn't the only thing that can change us.Motherhood changes us. Hormones change us. Relationships change us. Loss changes us. Our bodies change. Life changes.And perhaps healing isn't always about getting back to the woman we used to be.Sometimes it's about discovering who we're becoming.In this episode, you'll hear about Nerissa's experience of navigating cancer while pregnant, what she learned from interviewing more than 100 mothers, why the end of medical treatment doesn't necessarily mean the end of healing, how illness and major life transitions can disrupt identity, why creative expression can reach places conversation sometimes cannot, and how to better support someone we love through cancer or another life-altering diagnosis.Nerissa's work today sits at the intersection of creativity, resilience, identity, and therapeutic arts, using creative practices to help people process difficult experiences and reconnect with themselves. CONNECT WITH NERISSAExplore Nerissa's artwork, books, workshops and speaking: NerissaBalland.comLearn more about Canvas of Courage: Canvas of CourageFREE RESOURCES

We often expect our bodies to "bounce back" after having a baby. This unrealistic pressure ignores the beautiful and challenging realities of pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood. These seasons are ones to honor your body — and navigating the shifts that happen takes time, patience, and a different approach to physical and mental health.     In this episode, Ashley Thomas, a fitness instructor at Life Time and mother of three, talks about how we can view and care for our bodies after having children. She discusses how to redefine what fitness success realistically looks like during these life phases, and she shares practical, actionable guidance to help you feel empowered to reclaim your strength.   Find the episode highlights, get related resources and view the transcript for this episode at https://experiencelife.lifetime.life/podcast/movement-and-motherhood   Have thoughts you'd like to share or topic ideas for future episodes?

Welcome back to Everymum the podcast, with me Aisling Keenan. What happens to a woman when the physical body, social identity and daily life she knew are all suddenly altered? That's what my guest this week and I discuss – Nicole Gaffney Hahesy, or Cole Gaffney as you might know her online, is an influencer and mother to a 7-month-old girl named Éala. We talk about her placenta previa, her tricky birth, Éala's stay in the NICU, and the fact that Éala still doesn't care much for sleeping. We talk about CMPA (Cow's milk protein allergy), reflex and colic and how Nicole faced all three in the early days of Éala's little life. Nicole has built an online presence around motherhood, style and everyday life, so I wanted to talk to her about the stuff underneath the nice pictures: postpartum body image, getting dressed when your body has changed, figuring out who you are when your priorities have completely shifted and the reality of trying to feel like yourself again when you're also becoming somebody completely new. Because I think there's a huge pressure on women to be grateful for motherhood every second of the day, while simultaneously looking like they've somehow emerged from it completely unscathed which we ALL know is not the case. Enjoy this episode with Nicole, and I'll be back next week with more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Nikki & Brie are back side by side for a catch-up that goes from surprisingly deep to completely ridiculous in record time. The twins get real about independence, relationships, and why finding peace on your own can change what you're willing to accept from other people. But this is Nikki & Brie, so the conversation quickly spirals into viral Bobby pin experiments, Nikki's questionable online shopping, their kids telling wildly creative stories, Gen Z trading smartphones for flip phones, and a debate over teaching children to set boundaries. And just when Brie thinks she's safe, Nikki brings up that embarrassing story again. Press play for sisterhood, real talk, big laughs, and absolutely no shortage of TMI.

Sarah Hoover is a bestselling author, art historian and cultural critic whose memoir, The Motherload: Episodes from the Brink of Motherhood, offers a brutally candid account of pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum depression and the complicated realities of becoming a mother.In this episode, Sarah joins me for an honest, funny and at times uncomfortable conversation about the parts of motherhood women still aren't supposed to say out loud. We talk about her traumatic first birth, struggling to bond with her son, postpartum depression, rage and resentment, and what it feels like when the experience you were told would be the happiest of your life is anything but. We also get into maternal ambivalence, the pressure to be endlessly grateful, losing your identity after having a baby, and why admitting that motherhood is incredibly hard doesn't mean you don't love your children.But this conversation is definitely not all heavy. We also get into beauty standards and how they've changed, our complicated relationship with aging and wanting to look good, makeup, personal style, the aesthetics we're collectively tired of, and what our beauty choices say about the culture we're living in. Sarah has such a sharp, funny perspective on the expectations placed on women—from how we're supposed to mother to how we're supposed to look—and we talk about all of it.It's ultimately a conversation about motherhood, beauty, identity, culture and the things women are often thinking but don't always feel comfortable saying out loud.Thanks to my sponsors:Go to CLEARSTEM.com/WELL and use code WELL at checkout to get 15% off your first order.Use code ARIELLE15 for $15 off your first purchase at thirdlove.comVisit http://get.justthrivehealth.com/pages/well for a free 90-day supply of their new Digestive Bitters when you start a 90-day Just Thrive probiotic subscriptionHead to dose daily.co/WELL to get 35% off your first subscriptionDownload the Vinted app for free and start listingOrion is offering our listeners 15% off at Orion.com/well.This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

Sarah and Paige unpack the Lindsay Clancy trial through the lens of perinatal mental health and the gaps in care that can leave maternal mental health crises overlooked. Paige, a licensed clinical social worker and founder of the Motherhood Center, explains why conditions like postpartum depression and anxiety often go undiagnosed and how postpartum psychosis, while rare, requires urgent attention. They explore the lack of specialized training among healthcare providers, the need for better collaboration and education, and what parents and professionals can do to improve maternal mental health care.Follow Previa Alliance!Previa Alliance (@previa.alliance) • Instagram photos and videosPrevia Alliance Podcast (@previapodcast) • Instagram photos and videosKeep the questions coming by sending them to info@previaalliance.com or DM us on Instagram!

Jenifer Lockwood became a surgical nurse in Florida, grew up watching her mother struggle with addiction, developed her own health complications that introduced her to prescription pills, and eventually built a scheme at her job calling in fraudulent prescriptions to pharmacies to feed the addiction before law enforcement set her up at a pharmacy and arrested her — producing a 15 year Florida state prison sentence that she served 13 years of before sobriety, a paralegal career built inside those walls, and a complete life transformation gave everything that addiction cost her a completely different second chapter. _____________________________________________ #PrisonStories #PrisonLife #florida #nurse #truecrimestory _____________________________________________ Thank you to HUNGRYROOT, PRIZEPICKS & AG1 for sponsoring this episode: Hungryroot: Explore my Hungryroot Digital Cookbook "The Commissary Upgrade" at https://hungryroot.com/LOCKEDIN _____________________________________________  PrizePicks: Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/IANBICK and use code IANBICK and get $150 if you win your first $5 lineup! _____________________________________________ AG1: For a limited time, save 20% on your first subscription order of AG1 Next Gen or AG1 Pro at https://drinkag1.com/lockedin _____________________________________________ Connect with Jenifer Lockwood: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeniferlockwood_postconviction/ Website:https://postconvictionalliance.org/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAcGRvZgJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA85MzY2MTk3NDMzOTI0NTkAAadFH6OUvd0oYsZ49876ZgUNamkrtoguEvoHhTss8b8Eae0YjSpPFNXIEHSGUw_aem_zplLQ5f36CmzUcciKJ03Vw _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick:  https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Surgical Nurse's Journey 00:28 Growing Up in Pensacola 02:22 Discovering Biological Father 05:52 Influence of Medical Family 09:15 Early Marriage and Nursing 12:04 Life as a Surgical Nurse 14:41 Sponsor Break 15:14 Traumatic OR Stories 20:36 Addiction Begins 24:47 Mother's Role in Addiction 27:20 Silent Struggles in Healthcare 30:40 Prescription Ends, Desperation 35:20 Arrested in Pharmacy 38:48 Drug Trafficking Charge 41:02 Pharmacy Verification Process 43:36 Bond and Legal Threats 48:39 Out on Bond, Terminated 50:05 Bond Revoked and Withdrawal 52:27 Firing Lawyer, Public Defender 55:00 County Jail Experience 57:38 Sponsor Break 58:47 Legal Process and Plea Deal 01:03:58 Understanding Gain Time 01:05:18 Marriage and New Relationship 01:09:10 Motherhood from Prison 01:13:26 First Day of Prison 01:19:29 Fitting in at Gatson 01:23:31 Becoming a Law Clerk 01:29:51 Prison Shows and Talents 01:31:04 Types of Cases Helped 01:32:32 Sobriety and Self-Discovery 01:35:35 Using Nursing Skills in Prison 01:38:49 Financial Support Inside 01:39:55 Mother's Sobriety 01:40:06 Questioning Sentencing Length 01:42:50 Refusing Cases and Prejudice 01:48:53 Comparing Sentences 01:50:15 Lessons from Encounters 01:53:42 Approaching Release Date 01:55:59 Release and Reuniting with Kids 02:03:36 Josh's Anger and Healing 02:05:30 Current Work and Advocacy 02:08:13 Feeling the Lost Years 02:09:25 Advice to Past Self _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

After a two-week break (and a whole lot of pre-recording), Giana and Bradshaw are finally back together for a much-needed catch-up episode, and a lot has happened!Giana shares reflections from giving birth and the first weeks of motherhood, from letting go of expectations and slowing down to putting nervous system regulation into practice when there's a screaming baby in your arms. She talks about releasing the pressure to do things “right,” staying present through the unknown, the myth of having it all, and why she refuses to look back with regret.Meanwhile, Bradshaw catches us up on a summer of travel and retreats in Italy and Portugal. He reflects on the importance of letting go of control, choosing opportunities from a place of passion, and what it's been like watching the community they've built through the podcast and Instagram come to life through real friendships and experiences around the world.This episode is less about having a lesson to teach and more about reflecting on the season we're both in- birth, travel, change, community, surrender, and learning how to simply be present.We missed you. It feels good to be back.Want to support our podcast? Join our Patreon for extra content

In this special episode of Raising Wild Hearts, I'm stepping onto the other side of the microphone and sharing my guest appearance on the Beyond the 9 to 5 Ceiling Summit.We talk about what happens when the life you've built—or the way you've been working—no longer fits the woman you've become. I share my own journey from leaving a traditional career, through entrepreneurship and motherhood, to realizing that sometimes creating the life you truly want requires slowing down, listening inward, and having the courage to choose differently.We explore the tension between ambition and presence, why perceived security can keep us stuck, what it means to start before you feel ready, and how small courageous choices begin to build an entirely different future.We also talk about purpose, community, motherhood, redefining success, and why finding your people can make all the difference when you're walking a path that doesn't look traditional.If you've been feeling a quiet pull toward something different—more intention, more connection, more purpose, or simply a life that feels more like yours—this conversation is for you.

Welcome back to PART 3 of The Reconnection Series!My free five-part coaching journey for ambitious mums where each podcast episode explores one simple question designed to help you reconnect with yourself as your next chapter unfolds.In PART 1, we started noticing ourselves.In PART 2, we moved from awareness into connection, getting curious about who we are now and what makes us feel more like ourselves.In PART 3, we began rebuilding trust in ourselves.And now, in part 4, it's time to CHOOSE and LEAD ourselves through life.This week's juicy question to ask yourself is: What would the woman I'm becoming choose?When we're navigating change or standing on the edge of a new chapter, it can be easy to get stuck asking:What should I do? What makes the most sense?What does everyone else need from me?But what if you paused and asked a different question...one that was much more 'YOU-centred'This episode is an invitation to step out of the noise of the present moment - and instead connect with the version of you you're already becoming.Not some perfect future version of yourself. Just you, a little further along the road.Your Reconnection Experiment: A Message From Future YouImagine yourself a litte way into the future - maybe a few months from now...And imagine yourself living your life from a place where your current circumstances have shifted a bit.Perhaps life feels more aligned, connected and intentional. Really slow down enough to connect with that vision and that version of yourself...Then ask yourself:What would 'future me' want me to know right now?What would she encourage me to stop doing?What would she tell me to trust?What would she remind me matters?What would she encourage me to choose?AND: What does future me want to thank current me for?Capture your thoughts, however feels natural, and without overthinking it.You might be surprised by what comes through when you give yourself permission to listen to your own inner knowing.Because sometimes the clarity we're looking for isn't found by thinking harder about the present...it's found by connecting with the woman we're becoming.I'd love to hear what wisdom 'Future You' has to share with you - drop me an email or DM me on Instagram and let me know me!ABOUT YOUR HOST - Tamsin WilliamsonIf you're ready to explore this work more deeply, you'll find details of all the ways we can connect or work together below:Find out about my signature coaching and mentorship programme, The Gateway >> HEREExplore my 90-minute Springboard Session Experience >> HEREBook a FREE 30-min discovery call with me >> HEREDownload my FREE GUIDE - '20 Ways To Claim Your Comeback' >> HEREFollow me on Instagram >> HEREWelcome to Do Your Thing - a bold, beautiful celebration of modern Motherhood, on YOUR terms.Hosted by Tamsin Williamson, The Identity & Self-Leadership Coach for Ambitious Women Ready To Redefine Life Beyond Motherhood.Every week, join me for open and unfiltered conversations with awe-inspiring women (who also happen to be mothers) about how they do their thing - in life, work and everything in between.Together, let's throw out the rule book, shed expectations and shine a light on just how varied and vibrant modern motherhood can be. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Motherhood can be holy and still feel hard. Today we sit with Proverbs 31:26–27 and get honest about what obedience in motherhood looks like when you're tired, overstimulated, and tempted to treat your kids like interruptions instead of assignments from God. We talk about how serving and nurturing your home is not “less than” real purpose. It is a divine calling where faith meets consistency, and where daily surrender becomes a fresh definition of success.We also dig into the power of our words. “When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness” is not a cute quote for the wall, it's a blueprint for Christian parenting. We break down wisdom as applied knowledge, learning your child as an individual, and correcting with love and truth instead of harshness or passive begging. If you've ever struggled to communicate well because you're repeating what you grew up with, we make room for grace and renewal.Then we address a modern trap that steals connection fast: screens. Phones can quietly pull our attention away from family movie time, schoolwork, and the small bids for attention our kids bring all day long. Obedience calls us to be watchful in our household, to ask the Holy Spirit for discernment, and to take one practical step toward our child today, a hug, an affirming word, focused time, or help with what matters to them.If this encouraged you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more women can find this faith-based devotional support for intentional living and Christian motherhood. What is most challenging about mothering in your season right now?

Raising well-behaved children is not about discovering the secret consequences that will finally get them to cooperate and behave.It isn't about time-outs or specific punishments.Well-behaved, cooperative children who listen the first time, respect your authority, are self-motivated and independent, and most of all happy, comes from parenting through virtues - teaching them the skills, the habits, the virtues that help them behave.Check out my free resources on marriage, parenting, home management, and faith life/mindset at janetquinlan.comFollow me on Instagram @janetquinlancoaching

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.Pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding can be some of the most physically demanding experiences a woman's body will ever go through. So why are mothers expected to simply carry on afterwards?This week, Zoe is joined by nutrition scientist and bestselling author Dr Federica Amati for an eye-opening conversation about what a mother's body actually needs through pregnancy, postpartum recovery and the first years of motherhood.Federica explains why the first 1,000 days aren't only important for our babies — they're a crucial window for maternal health too. Pregnancy draws heavily on our nutrient stores, birth has an enormous physiological impact on the body, and breastfeeding can require significantly more energy than pregnancy itself. Yet this is often the exact moment mothers have the least time, energy and support to properly nourish themselves.Together, Zoe and Federica explore what to eat before and during pregnancy, the truth about pregnancy cravings and morning sickness, and why fertility shouldn't be treated as solely a woman's responsibility.But it's their conversation about postpartum depletion and recovery that every mother needs to hear. Federica shares practical advice for nourishing yourself after birth, why asking for and accepting help matters, and why we desperately need to move away from the expectation that women should simply "bounce back".They also discuss pregnancy spacing, breastfeeding, maternal burnout, the mental load and what happens when postpartum recovery begins to overlap with perimenopause.Above all, this is a reminder that your body isn't supposed to return to the woman you were before children. Motherhood changes us — physically, hormonally and emotionally — and perhaps the goal isn't to fight that change, but to learn how to support the body we're in now.

Margery Kraus is the Founder and Executive Chairman of APCO Worldwide, a company she started in 1984 as a small subsidiary of a Washington, D.C. law firm and built into a global consultancy with roughly 1,200 people across 35 locations.Her story, though, starts much earlier. The child of immigrants whose family fled Nazi Europe, passed through Cuba and eventually rebuilt their lives in America, Margery grew up around resilience, risk and starting again.We talk about how that shaped the entrepreneur she became, why she refused to listen when people told her “you can't do that,” and what it was really like building a global company while raising a family.We also get into the 2004 management buyout that helped make APCO one of the world's largest majority women-owned consulting firms, how you step back from leading a company you built without really letting go, and what four decades advising some of the world's most influential leaders have taught her about who thrives under pressure and who doesn't.Recorded in Dalian, China, during the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting of the New Champions, we also look at the world right now: China's place in the global economy, shifting trade relationships and what the rest of the world may be getting wrong about this moment.And then there's AI. Margery says it's the thing that keeps her up at night. For someone who has built a career and a business around human trust, judgment and relationships, I wanted to know why.A fascinating conversation with someone who has spent more than 40 years building, adapting and refusing to stand still.Special thanks to the World Economic Forum for bringing us together in Dalian.

This week on The Mother Daze, we're joined by powerhouse entrepreneur, contrarian thinker and author Codie Sanchez for a conversation about ambition, motherhood, money and the sneaky ways we can become the biggest obstacle to our own freedom. Ahead of the release of her new book, Own or Be Owned, Codie shares what it really means to build a business so good it doesn't need you. We also talk Codie's incredibly exciting news, she's pregnant with her first child! She opens up about sharing her five-year journey to conceive publicly, what it means to be honest about something so deeply personal as a public figure, and why she wanted other women walking that road to know they're not alone. We talk about taking fertility for granted and what it looks like to integrate building a family with building a business, chasing a dream and still having a life. We dive into Codie's world of contrarian thinking, boring businesses and ownership, why women so often downplay what they're building as a “side hustle” or “little project,” and what it takes to build something that actually gives you more freedom. Plus, the Hero Complex, martyrdom, delegating, getting unstuck when your ideas feel stagnant, and two-way-door decisions. It's a big juicy one about owning your ambition, your choices, your time and the life you actually want to build.

Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care should support the whole person, physically and mentally. In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker talks with board-certified OB/GYN and perinatal coach Dr. Jessica Vernon about how integrative medicine can create a more holistic and personalized approach to obstetric care.   Dr. Vernon explains how integrative care combines traditional Western medicine with complementary approaches such as therapy, physical therapy, acupuncture, yoga, breathwork, meditation, and nutrition. She also shares how her own experience with postpartum anxiety and depression transformed the way she practices medicine and deepened her understanding of the physical, emotional, and identity-related transitions into parenthood.

Last week, I took you through the devastating events of January 24, 2023, the night Lindsay Clancy's three young children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan, were fatally harmed inside their family home in Duxbury, Massachusetts. This week, we move from the home to the courtroom. In The Lindsay Clancy Trial: Psychosis, Premeditation, or Both?, I take a closer look at one of the most complicated questions surrounding this case: What was happening in Lindsay Clancy's mind when her children died? Lindsay's mental health before the deaths has become a critical part of understanding the case. Her treatment, medications, reported symptoms, and concerns surrounding postpartum mental illness raise difficult questions about postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis, and about how severe psychiatric illness affects criminal responsibility. But there is another side to this case. The circumstances surrounding that night also raise questions about planning and awareness. Lindsay's husband, Patrick, left the home to run errands. During the relatively short period he was gone, the lives of all three children were changed forever. So how does the legal system distinguish between an intentional, premeditated act and an act committed by someone experiencing profound psychosis? Can a person appear organized or purposeful while simultaneously experiencing a severe break from reality? And where does mental illness end and legal responsibility begin? As a nurse and former forensic death investigator, I'm particularly interested in the intersection between the medical evidence and the investigative evidence. A case like this cannot be understood through one piece of information alone. We have to look at the timeline, behavior, medical and psychiatric history, physical evidence, statements, expert opinions, and what investigators were able to establish. We also have to remember why this trial is happening. Three young children lost their lives. Whatever conclusions are ultimately reached about Lindsay's mental state and criminal responsibility, Cora, Dawson, and Callan remain at the center of this case. In this episode, I explore the competing questions surrounding the Lindsay Clancy trial and the challenge of evaluating a case in which mental illness and evidence of apparent planning may exist alongside one another. Was this postpartum psychosis? Was it premeditation? Or is the truth more complicated than either explanation alone? Join me for Part Two of the Lindsay Clancy case on Pushing Up Lilies: The Lindsay Clancy Trial: Psychosis, Premeditation, or Both?

What if the work no one notices is still shaping your family in ways you cannot yet see? Back-to-school has a way of revealing how much invisible work mothers do. The supplies, the schedules, the forms, the meals, the emotions, the prayers, the planning, and the quiet steadying of the home often happen without applause or even much notice. In this episode, Connie speaks to the mom who is pouring out for her family and knowing most of what she does is unseen. Motherhood is filled with ordinary, faithful work that may not be fully appreciated in the moment, but unseen does not mean unimportant. With warmth, honesty, and biblical encouragement, Connie reminds moms that their value is not measured by how much their children notice, how often they are thanked, or whether anyone fully understands what they carry. God sees the quiet work. He sees the love behind the details. And He cares about the mother, not just the work she does. This conversation will help you serve your family faithfully without disappearing in the process. You'll be reminded that good moms show up, but wise moms stay rooted in who they are in Christ. Faithfulness matters, even when applause is absent.

You'll have to listen to our podcast today to hear how the Lord miraculously brought this together and made it a possibility—a long life dream come true.

Hello darling people I adore! How are we? I have a chill evening solo for you with a lot of thoughts. I've made some big decisions for myself. I'm making my world smaller and my dreams bigger and it feels good. I feel ready. I dive deeper into my decision to try to carry our baby myself, why I finally feel ready to move forward with our two remaining embryos, and how I'm trying to prepare myself without letting fear or pressure take over. I also get into where I'm at with social media and my career, and why creating content just for the sake of creating content doesn't feel fulfilling to me anymore. I'm trying to figure out what I actually want to wake up and do, not what I think I'm supposed to be doing. And I think I finally have an answer: I want to open a store!!! I share where this dream comes from, how connected it feels to my mom and my childhood, and why creating a space for fashion, connection, and community feels so exciting to me right now. Lots of life updates, some tears, some rambling, and a lot of figuring things out in real time. Love you all! This epIsode is brought to you by Monarch. Write your own money story with Monarch.

How important is prayer to you? For author and speaker Heather Thompson Day, prayer is her lifeline to God. It's what keeps her going when life seems to take a turn for the worse. And when those prayers, those petitions to God, have been answered over time, it's amazing to witness the promises God has fulfilled. During our conversation, I was reminded of the power of pressing through the hard times, because that's when we draw closer to Him like never before. If you're looking for a sign to keep going on your journey, then this episode is for you.

In that same time window, police in another area conducted a traffic stop on a woman who had a newborn in her arms, claiming she was rushing to a hospital.
