Podcasts about perinatal

En este episodio hablamos con la Dra. Bianca Granados, psiquiatra perinatal, sobre la importancia de cuidar la salud mental de las mujeres durante el embarazo, el posparto y la lactancia.Bianca nos explica en qué consiste la psiquiatría perinatal, cómo se diferencia de la psiquiatría general y por qué esta etapa requiere una mirada específica que integre cuerpo, mente y entorno. Conversamos sobre el impacto que tiene la alimentación en el estado de ánimo, los déficits nutricionales más frecuentes en este periodo (como hierro, omega-3 o vitamina D) y su relación con la depresión posparto y la ansiedad. También abordamos temas tan necesarios como la presión social por “recuperar la figura” tras el parto, la culpa y las exigencias que rodean la maternidad, y el valor del acompañamiento emocional cuando aparecen dificultades con la lactancia o el ajuste a la nueva vida.Un episodio para reflexionar sobre cómo la salud mental materna se construye desde la prevención, la empatía y la colaboración entre profesionales — psiquiatras, nutricionistas, psicólogos y ginecólogos — y para recordar que cuidar a la madre es cuidar también al bebé.Conviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/comiendo-con-maria-nutricion--2497272/support.

Intrusive thoughts are common for new parents — but when do they cross the line into something more serious? In this episode, you'll learn how obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) latches onto what matters most — in this case, the safety and well-being of the baby — and how evidence-based treatment like exposure and response prevention (ERP) can bring relief.Joining host Gabe Howard is internationally recognized OCD and parenting expert Dr. Jenny Yip, who sheds light on perinatal and postpartum OCD. Dr. Yip explains how obsessions and compulsions can overwhelm expecting and new parents, from fears of accidentally harming the baby to overwhelming guilt about being a “bad” mom or dad. She also discusses the stigma surrounding taboo intrusive thoughts — including forbidden sexual thoughts — and how avoidance can interfere with bonding during the crucial early weeks of parenthood.  Takeaways for listeners: the difference between usual parenting anxiety and perinatal or postpartum OCD common intrusive thoughts new parents experience but rarely discuss why avoidance harms bonding and increases OCD's power Whether you're a new parent, a clinician, or simply curious, this episode reveals the hidden struggles of perinatal and postpartum OCD — and the hope for recovery. “OCD will tackle whatever it is that you care about. And when a family is pregnant, or when they have their first child, or when they have multiple children, what they're going to care about most is that. The safety, the wellness of the mother, of the unborn, or the newborn. And then that's how OCD starts to build and manifest.” ~Dr. Jenny Yip Our guest, Dr. Jenny Yip, is a board-certified, licensed psychologist, author, speaker, and internationally acclaimed OCD, anxiety, and parenting expert. With nearly three decades of experience, she has treated individuals and families facing severe anxiety disorders, OCD, and parenting stress.

She serves on the board of directors for the International OCD Foundation, where she facilitates the Perinatal OCD Task Force and co-directs the BIPOC Behavior Therapy Training Institute. Dr. Yip is the creator of the Strategic Family Boundaries and the Stress-Less Life™ brand, which includes her popular podcast and Stress-Less Mama masterclass. She has authored several books, with her most recent, Hello Baby, Goodbye Intrusive Thoughts, ranking as a top new release. Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. He is the author of the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are also available directly from the author.

If you're pregnant, planning to have a baby, or have recently given birth, chances are you've heard conversations about the 'baby blues' or the risk of postnatal depression and anxiety (PNDA).But have you ever come across the term PMADs? It stands for Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders; a broad spectrum of psychiatric conditions that can arise at any stage of the reproductive journey.These conditions are often misunderstood, overlooked, or misdiagnosed, leaving mothers and families without the support they need to not just cope, but thrive in parenthood.In this episode of No Place Like Homb, hosts Kath and Larissa sit down with Perinatal and Reproductive Psychiatrist Dr Edna Lekgabe to help explain what PMADs are, why they matter, and the steps we can take toward better recognition, care, and support.Find out more drednalekgabe.com.auIf you need support, speak to a trusted healthcare professional.You can also find a directory for national helplines via;pregnancybirthbaby.org.au/pregnancy-helpline-numbers

In this thought-provoking episode of the I Am Dad Podcast, host Kenneth Braswell welcomes Dena Barnwell, a Doctor of Public Health candidate, health educator, and former doula, whose work focuses on making fatherhood visible in systems that often leave men out. Dena's journey into fatherhood advocacy began with her own personal story—a deep bond with her father, followed by a decade-long absence that challenged everything she believed about paternal relationships. Her work explores how mental health, systems involvement, and social stigma impact fathers during the perinatal period, and why public health must treat men as more than “accessory parents.” Kenneth and Dena unpack the often-overlooked role of dads in maternal health, the emotional complexity of co-parenting, and the critical importance of storytelling in reshaping narratives about Black fathers. From her powerful research in Baltimore to her reflections as a mother, Dena makes a compelling case for family-centered—not mother-only—models of care.

This week's guest was fed to be by the Instagram algorithm. In part, I imagine, because I used to live in the KC area and we share a similar demographic. But for sure because the universe knew I, and by extension y'all, needed to hear her message: Stop Accepting What You Hate. While we do absolutely believe people can change - if they want to - we've both seen it enough to know change can't happen because one partner is asking for it. So, what happens when you've realized your partner doesn't want to change? Listen to Abby and I discuss this and more!

This week on The Perinatal Podcast, I'm joined by my #Team85 sister, Lauren Tetenbaum, to talk about her new book Millennial Menopause: Preparing for Perimenopause, Menopause, and Life's Next Period. We dive into the realities of this major life shift—the curiosity it requires, the bullshit we've been taught about “not being a bother,” and why treating symptoms (not just the diagnosis) matters. From rage and irritability to sleep struggles and identity shifts, we explore how to build your support squad, practice self-compassion, and remember: perimenopause is not your new identity.Show notes:Girl on Girl: https://www.amazon.com/Girl-Culture-Generation-Against-Themselves/dp/0593656296/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.PYp7HwArCuKwY3IF5Kt1BlCaPzzDX5x0iNuTg_xOtbeoVGlHc7OgmKGPBYZ6C7umZujaj1DR0A1HmyLjwHiMFJbFaaYkllpWwXUX31Ow5-VKX33LIojWgzfBeTovApFxcMCHIJZZUzS75-TVlvE0RRJUgBKDnDRWJT1K0RRP-as.gH3sUjH5AJaSu-_7N7-Gio8Q4_j6rjsLhpMETBiMaLM&qid=1754970790&sr=8-1https://hotpausehealth.com/https://thefuchsiatent.mn.co/Find Lauren!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecounselaur/Website: https://thecounselaur.com/Get her book! https://a.co/d/04z8O40Thanks to our sponsors!Essenther: https://us.essenther.com/AMPLIFYWELLNESSWITHMEG Promo Code: AMPLIFYWELLNESSWITHMEGMomanda: https://us.momanda.cc/?dt_id=39578 Promo Code - PERINATAL Needed: https://thisisneeded.com/?utm_channel=Needed%20-%20Creator&irpid=4545739&irmpname=meg%40megdukelcsw.com&iradid=1770238&irgwc=1&utm_source=creator&utm_medium=4665719&utm_campaign=1654615&icid=XgjX7YUz7xyKUt1VqHVEd3AXUksxaM2IKTb5V00 Promo Code - PERINATALPODCAST Muse: https://choosemuse.com/pages/muse-2-offers?utm_source=4739&utm_medium=Affiliate&cppid=4739&cpclid=6ead105f2fb2454a87218286b4b5636f&utm_campaign=Amplify%20Wellness%20Coaching&utm_content= Promo Code - AMPLIFY WELLNESSGet your FREE Navigating ADHD Mini Workbook Here! https://subscribepage.io/ADHDMiniWorkbookThanks so much for joining me for this episode of The Perinatal Podcast.

Today's episode focuses on patients who receive devastating news during the perinatal period. Unfortunately, this scenario is all too common, and complexities are affecting both the patient and the medical provider, most notably the delicate balance of professionalism, compassion, and humanity. Our conversation explores the psychological impacts and ways of handling these situations.  Dr. Christiane Manzella is a senior licensed psychologist at the Seleni Institute, a nonprofit organization providing comprehensive reproductive and maternal mental health services. She specializes in working with individuals navigating bereavement, trauma, fertility challenges, miscarriages, late-term loss, stillbirth, termination for medical reasons, child loss, and life transitions.

Jackson Women's Health Organization decision on individuals' mental health, particularly concerning perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.

The episode underscores the importance of acknowledging systemic factors and advocates for structural changes to better support caregivers and their families, urging a shift in policy to address mental health as a public good.   To reach Shana please email her at: sed485@nyu.edu

In this illuminating episode of The Sacred Window Podcast, host Christine Devlin welcomes Claire Holloway, a seasoned yoga facilitator based in Perth, for a profound discussion on the Five Koshas and their transformative relevance to healing after birth.Claire introduces listeners to the ancient Yogic concept of the Koshas, explaining them as distinct yet interconnected layers of our being. She guides us through each layer: starting with the tangible Annamaya Kosha (the physical body), moving through Pranamaya Kosha (energy/breath), Manomaya Kosha (mind/emotions), Vijnanamaya Kosha (intellect/wisdom), and finally, Anandamaya Kosha (bliss/spirit). Claire emphasizes the critical importance of understanding and addressing these subtle layers, particularly during the tender and transformative perinatal period, to holistically support new parents. She offers invaluable insights and practical tips for integrating this ancient wisdom into modern daily life, providing resources that can empower listeners to embark on their own journey of layered healing and restoration.About Claire:Claire Holloway is a mother, a yoga facilitator and educator who specialises in Perinatal and Pelvic Health.

Hi everyone and welcome to this episode, where I had the pleasure of chatting with physiotherapist, Rachael Kuik ,who has published the amazing 'Dancing Beyond' perinatal guidelines for female dancers and the healthcare professionals who serve them - an exciting development at the intersection of pelvic health and dance medicineIn this episode we discuss the intersection of pelvic health and the athletic needs of the perinatal dancer, the challenges and solutions in addressing the pelvic health needs within the dance community, including the need for multidisciplinary care, especially when considering prevalent issues including hypermobility and REDs, which will impact pelvic health.Rachael emphasises the importance of desensitising dancers to open discussions about these issues and provide them with educational resources, as well as discussing the importance of understanding the potential issues dancers may face, from pregnancy, through labour & delivery and the timing of postnatal return to exercise and dance.Lots of clinical pearls here with immediately applicable strategies, that we could actually apply to all female athletes!The guidelines & infographic that have been produced will be great resources for dancers, and can be accessed at Rachel's website, rachaelkuik.com/dancingbeyondWant to learn more about helping postnatal women return to exercise?

Welcome to Season 8 of The Perinatal Podcast! Today's episode is a powerful conversation that bridges two often-overlooked chapters in a woman's life: the postpartum period and the transition into perimenopause. I'm joined by Kara Shelman of Centimano Counseling, a fellow therapist and fierce advocate for mental health across the reproductive lifespan. Together, we explore what it means to move from the tender chaos of early motherhood into the surprising, often confusing landscape of perimenopause.We talk about how few people are talking about this shift, how validating it is to realize that the brain fog, mood swings, and physical changes aren't just “in your head”—and how liberating it can feel to finally name what's happening in your body and mind. Whether you're in this phase now, approaching it, or supporting someone who is, this episode is a must-listen.Welcome back to The Perinatal Podcast!Find Kara!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kara_shelman/Centimano Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/centimano_counseling/Website: https://www.centimano.com/kara-shelmanMentioned in this show:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/070-the-julia-roberts-of-greater-kansas-city/id1590957531?i=1000621565779Thanks to our sponsors!Essenther: https://us.essenther.com/AMPLIFYWELLNESSWITHMEG Promo Code: AMPLIFYWELLNESSWITHMEGMomanda: https://us.momanda.cc/?dt_id=39578 Promo Code - PERINATAL Needed: https://thisisneeded.com/?utm_channel=Needed%20-%20Creator&irpid=4545739&irmpname=meg%40megdukelcsw.com&iradid=1770238&irgwc=1&utm_source=creator&utm_medium=4665719&utm_campaign=1654615&icid=XgjX7YUz7xyKUt1VqHVEd3AXUksxaM2IKTb5V00 Promo Code - PERINATALPODCAST Muse: https://choosemuse.com/pages/muse-2-offers?utm_source=4739&utm_medium=Affiliate&cppid=4739&cpclid=6ead105f2fb2454a87218286b4b5636f&utm_campaign=Amplify%20Wellness%20Coaching&utm_content= Promo Code - AMPLIFY WELLNESSGet your FREE Navigating ADHD Mini Workbook Here! https://subscribepage.io/ADHDMiniWorkbookThanks so much for joining me for this episode of The Perinatal Podcast.

In this episode, HeHe and Sarah Trott discuss the integration and benefits of AI in parenting, particularly focusing on the new tool Hello Gaia, developed to provide reliable, non-medical parenting advice. The hosts delve into AI's strengths and limitations, emphasizing the importance of using AI as a complement to professional medical advice and personal intuition. They highlight AI's potential to save time and reduce mental load in parenting tasks and outline how Hello Gaia has been tailored to source credible information from reputable organizations. The conversation also touches on the importance of social support, the skepticism surrounding AI, and policy implications for postpartum care.

She is also the founder of HelloGaia Parenting Copilot, a tool providing evidence-based support for families, offering fast, reliable answers from pregnancy to parenting, anytime.

In this powerful and nuanced episode, I'm joined once again by Morgan Bradwell, LCSW, PMH-C, to explore the intersection between sexual trauma and perinatal trauma.We discuss how past sexual trauma can shape the perinatal experience, increase the risk of birth trauma, and impact postpartum mental health, including rates of PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Morgan draws from her clinical experience supporting survivors of sexual trauma and perinatal trauma to help us better understand how to support pregnant people with this history, whether you're a provider, a partner, or navigating it yourself.What You'll Hear in This Episode:

Content note: perinatal suicidality In this episode Sophie speaks with midwife and Research Fellow Dr Laura Biggs, and CEO of PANDA Australia, Julie Borninkhof about the Making Sense of the Unseen partnership between the Stronger Futures CRE and the Murdoch Children's REsearch Institute, PANDA Perinatal Anxiety and Depression Australia, and James Cook University. In the episode you'll hear discussed key findings from ground-breaking research conducted by the team on experiences of perinatal suicidality, the first study of its kind ever to be carried out. Suicide is the leading cause of maternal death in Australia and other high-income countries and yet so far, we've known little about women's experiences of suicidality at this time in their lives. As discussed in this episode, the research identified that perinatal suicidality is driven by experiences of shame, and feelings of being disconnected and ‘defective' as a mother. We talk about how societal pressures and the perfect mother myth narrative profoundly impact women's mental health, and share stories from the research that demonstrate the profound importance of compassionate care and rehumanising relationships and care experiences for mothers. This episode is an especially important listen for all of those who work in healthcare and/or with mothers. We want to acknowledge the 139 women who shared their experiences of perinatal suicidality with the research team, as without their generosity, this research and this conversation on the podcast sharing these important findings would not be possible. … Episode webpage: https://drsophiebrock.com/podcast119 Connect with Laura on Twitter @l_biggs Follow PANDA on Facebook at facebook.com/pandanational and Instagram @pandanational Laura Biggs' email: laura.biggs@mcri.edu.au Learn more about Making Sense of the Unseen: https://www.strongerfutures.org.au/making-sense-of-the-unseen Read the journal article: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/10497323231164278 Support lines Australia - www.panda.org.au/ - 1300 726 306 @pandanational @lifelineaustralia @13yarn UK - pandasfoundation.org.uk/ - 0808 1961 776 USA - www.postpartum.net/ - Text “Help” to 800-944-4773 (EN) The EU/EEA - Mental health helpline - 116 123

Let us know how we're doing, or send us an idea!Gentle parenting has taken over social media — and the opinions are loud. Is it the downfall of discipline, or a modern, thoughtful way to raise emotionally healthy kids? In this episode, we unpack the real why behind the trend with licensed social worker Camielle Howard.From toddlers to teens, we explore the difference between boundaries and permissiveness, punishment and consequences, and how to raise confident, resilient kids who can still express themselves. Whether you're all-in on gentle parenting or raising an eyebrow, this convo might just reframe how you think about what it means to raise strong humans.

Dr. April Dominick // #ICEPelvic // www.ptonice.com  In today's episode of the PT on ICE Daily Show, ICE Pelvic faculty member April Dominick explores the evolution of language and understanding surrounding perinatal conditions such as diastasis recti, pelvic organ prolapse, and perinatal exercise. She highlights the shift from a fear-based approach to a more empowering and neutral language, informed by evidence and clinical experiences. April shares personal insights from her nearly nine years in the field, illustrating how changing terminology can significantly impact individuals' perceptions of their conditions and enhance outcomes. April focuses on practical language shifts, starting with diastasis recti, and aims to empower listeners to communicate more effectively about these important topics.
