This is the story of how I knew I needed to start an anti-anxiety and anti-depressant medication. I was recently diagnosed with ADHD, Anxiety and Depression. I also had to switch Primary Care Physicians because my old PCP was not listening to me and seemed very resistant to prescribing any medication for mental health.  Greif, postpartum and the chaos of raising two toddlers sent me spiraling with both anxiety and depression. I got to a point where managing my mental health felt like a full time job, I did not have the time or the energy to manage my depression. My anxiety was making my ADHD worse, I couldn't get anything done and I knew in my gut that it was time to talk with my doctor about getting on something for my depression. I was breastfeeding at the time, and I had read that anti-anxiety medication can help with the symptoms of ADHD. I also knew that often-times one medication can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. After talking with my doctor, she recommended Zoloft or Sertraline. I had very few side effects, and after about a week or 10 days, I noticed a difference. After two or three weeks I felt like my old self again. I was laughing and could enjoy my children and my life as it was, instead of drowning everything in toxic positivity and hoping for the best.     Topics Covered: Why I wanted to switch primary care physicians How grief and postpartum contributed to my mental health How I knew I needed an Anti-Depressant Medication How I knew I needed an Anti-Anxiety Medication How to talk with your doctor about mental health How I got diagnosed with ADHD, Anxiety and Depression   Thanks for listening!

A Cerebral Palsy diagnosis can bring a wave of emotions—especially for families who have already been through the NICU. In honor of Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month, this episode is dedicated to helping NICU parents feel more informed, supported, and empowered as they navigate the possibility or reality of CP.In this episode, we'll talk through the different types of Cerebral Palsy, what can cause it, and why certain babies—especially those born prematurely or with conditions like IVH, PVL, or HIE—may be at higher risk. We'll also discuss why the diagnosis can take time, the early signs parents might notice, and how healthcare providers typically confirm a CP diagnosis. From there, we'll explore treatment options, therapy approaches, and supportive services that can help improve quality of life and promote progress over time.Equally important, we'll talk about the emotional toll a diagnosis can bring and the importance of prioritizing your own well-being as a parent. With the right support systems in place, children with CP can grow, thrive, reach milestones, and live joyful lives—and you deserve to feel supported along that journey too.If you're looking for clarity, encouragement, and practical tools for advocating for your child, this episode was made with you in mind.

Torn apart by hospital restrictions, a family faced the unthinkable—choosing which baby to stay with, while knowing one might not survive.When Jodie and Steve Marks welcomed their twin boys in March 2020, they never imagined that hospital restrictions and a devastating diagnosis would force them to make an unthinkable choice—which baby they would each "choose" to stay with. What should have been a time of hope, love, and bonding was instead filled with separation, impossible decisions, and heartbreaking loss. As the world shut down, they found themselves trapped by policies that prioritized rules over the very thing their son needed most—their presence. In this raw and emotional episode, Jodie shares her NICU journey, the pain of forced separation, and how she continues to carry the weight of those moments today. No parent should ever have to fight to be with their child. This is Henry's story—a call for change.

November is Prematurity Awareness Month! During the month of November, we reflect on all of the the premature infants born each and everyday, the clinicians who care for them, and the parents. Despite all of the latest technology and advances in healthcare, one in ten children are born prematurely in the United States. Additionally, infants born prematurely are more likely to have long-term academic difficulties, cognitive impairments, learning disabilities, and/or emotional and behavioral issues that will not only impact their life, but they also have a significant toll on the entire family. A practice that has repeatedly shown to improve both neonatal and parental outcomes depsite a preterm delivery, is early and consistent skin-to-skin care. The small action of assisting parents with immediate skin-to-skin care has a very BIG IMPACT! Obviously, every clinical situation is different, but when possible, infants should be skin-to-skin with their parents. The benefits of kangaroo care are endless and not just for the baby! Kangaroo care has shown benefits for homeostasis for preterm infants including maintaining a healthy body temperature and increased cardiorespiratory stabilization. The most substantial benefit of skin-to-skin care has been the increased volume of breast milk production by the mother resulting in a longer duration of breastfeeding. Skin-to-skin care promotes participation of both parents in caring for the infant, it strengthens the family role in caring for a fragile infant, and decreases the common feelings of helplessness which helps parents become more comfortable with their infant and more confident! It actually allows parents to nurture and care for their fragile infant. Listen now to hear all of the benefits of skin-to-skin care! Together we truly can make a difference in the lives of the infants and parents! Get ready to become empowered as we review the benefits of Kangaroo care in the NICU!

To close out Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, I sat down with Tasha Ruholl. Tasha was kind enough to openly share the losses and subsequent grief that she and her husband have endured. She speaks about how it was her grief that drove her to make a difference and help so many other families. Tasha wanted to give the gift of time to any other parents who have to endure the unimaginable path of losing a child by donating cuddle cots to 10 local hospitals.

There are some amazing organizations that help to support and provide valuable resources for bereaved and NICU families. Many parents who have had a child in the NICU as well as parents who have endured a pregnancy loss or the loss of an infant have felt led to give back to other families enduring the same experience. Using their personal experience, they have created a platform or organization to pay it forward so they can help other families. After our son William was home from the NICU, I felt driven to help other NICU families and I have been blessed to be able to do that in a variety of ways. For this podcast episode, I spotlight some incredible organizations that provide support and/or resources for families enduring a NICU journey, have a child with complex medical needs, disabilities, or those who will benefit from bereavement support. This is not to say you will want to connect with and utilize all of the resources mentioned today, but find the resources that are in sync with the type of information and support that you are looking for. Some of these companies only offer local support whereas others are available virtually on a national or international level. Many of the organizations have been around for many years whereas others are fairly new in the Neonatal and bereavement niche. My ultimate goal as a former NICU parent, NNP and someone who has endured loss, is for my listeners to find the appropriate support throughout your personal experience and I hope this podcast helps you do just that! So sit back and get ready to become empowered as we review some fantastic NICU and bereavement-based organizations!

For our 52nd podcast episode, I was joined by Dr. Jess Daigle. She is a board-certified pediatrician and neonatal/pediatric hospitalist. Additionally, she is the proud mother of two premature infants, Liam and Avery. Her son Liam, was born at 31 weeks' gestation and spent 5 weeks in the NICU. After her family's personal experience in the NICU, she founded and is the CEO of Mom & Me, LLC which focuses on helping both mothers and infants thrive during the postpartum journey and beyond. Dr. Jess carries out her mission by offering local, in-home/virtual care services to newborns, with a particular focus on NICU babies. With the goal to support new mothers and ease their transition home, she also offers life coaching for NICU moms. Dr. Jess helps them navigate through their NICU journey so they can become the empowered, confident mom they deserve to be. Jess and I are both very passionate about empowering NICU parents to be present and engaged while their baby is in the NICU. She speaks about how her personal NICU experience changed her professionally and addresses why it is so beneficial for parents to advocate for their infants. We also discussed the many layers of NICU trauma and why it is so important to support families during the NICU journey and beyond. We share the importance of healthcare members being present, open, and intentional during their patient interactions and how going the extra mile will leave a lasting impression. Lastly, we close out the episode by speaking about how parental empowerment can not only positively shape a family's NICU experience, but also provide better outcomes for the infant and entire family unit!

Fair week was the first time I realized what anxiety really felt like in my body. Fortunately, I have an amazing mom who recognized it and helped me to do some deep breathing and bring some perspective to my pre-fair worry. Except that is really an understatement because I was like a bridezilla on steroids, I was a fairzilla for two weeks leading up to the fair. This episode is all about the things that helped to make our fair week go smoother. I consulted with my mom on this episode because she was the mastermind behind the planning that went into 4-H and the preparing for the fair. 1.      Have a DIY deadline-Anything that doesn't need to be done last minute should be done a week before the fair. 2.      Have a list for things that need to be done last minute i.e. Baking projects, cakes, washing animals, etc. 3.      Pack your camper and do your shopping ahead of time, if you do crafts and things then packing that stuff into the camper saves space in your primary vehicle 4.      Remember that this is about kids learning skills not about winning, one of the most important skills they will learn to how to keep calm when they are under pressure. 5.      Have a plan for food and have plenty of east snacks available. 6.      Have a few ways to lower anxiety available for when the tears inevitably come. For kids a few options can be taking a few deep breathes, taking a walk, dance party, writing a letter to their current self from 5 years into the future. 7.      Keep a flexible routine, this helps to avoid getting hangry, overtired, and exhausted. 8.      Unpack as soon as you get home   If you enjoyed this episode, take a screenshot, post to Facebook or Instagram and tag me!

5 Paradigm Shifts I Learned in Therapy 1.      Set boundaries early and often, say no, and protect your time, space and family 2.      You cannot change other people, changing the way you react to situations in your life is more valuable anyway 3.      The story you tell yourself is the only thing that matters, the “truth” is subjective 4.      Sometimes you just have to talk things out 5.      When your childhood, your adult family dynamics, your financial security and the stability of your families future are all intertwined, it's more difficult. Just acknowledging that fact, and recognizing when things get messy   If you enjoyed this episode, take a screenshot, post to Facebook or Instagram and tag me!

On our farm, it feels like spring planting is getting started late. In reality we are not THAT late, nonetheless, I am anxious about it. We have something scheduled every weekend in May, this means I will have to leave the farm and do the activity. This gives me farmer guilt, it's similar to “Mom-guilt” where you feel like you can't be away from your kids or else you are an anxious mess, while simultaneously knowing that you are your best self when you get away. This boils down to a whole lot of anxiety on my part. If we could get a good inch of rain every Friday night in May, everything would work out perfectly! Since I don't live in lala land the following list are 5 things I am committing to doing every day so that I can manage my anxiety, my house and the springtime chaos without losing my mind. 5 Daily Practices to Survive Spring Planting Chaos   1.      Do one load of laundry and one load of dishes every day 2.      Take a mindful minute and remember why I love farming 3.      De-escalate a trigger-For me this is that I have to have at least one clean countertop in my kitchen. Another trigger for me is when I don't get my “must do list” done so for me de-escalating a trigger looks like doing the most important things first. 4.      Have a mantra for when things don't go as planned. If it's a change in my plans for the day, I say something like “I am flexible, I can adapt and change” if it's a breakdown or problem I say something like “Ope there it is, good thing we are prepared” 5.      Improve your communication -group texts, morning meetings, etc. Here are a few episodes that may help if you want to dig deeper into this.

Maternal human milk is the absolute best food for newborn nutrition that supports all of their accelerated growth in the first year. And although we have a basic understanding of the composition of human milk, every woman's breast milk has a different complexity when it comes to the nutritional content. But, you may be wondering, what exactly is breast milk composed of? For our 48th podcast episode, I review the general composition of human breast milk and what the variations are between preterm, term, and donor breast milk. I also discuss some of the anti-infective protective properties in maternal breast milk and how a preterm mother's milk has unique and complex properties that are lacking in donor breast milk. I discuss human milk fortification, the different formulations available, and why it is so important in our preterm population. I share why donor breast milk is used in preterm infants over formula and explain its protective mechanisms against necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Finally, I discuss how the pasteurization process, although important, impacts the composition of donor breast milk. I share why it is so crucial that mothers feel supported and are educated. Building trusting partnerships with NICU mothers will help to promote their milk expression, establish breastfeeding, and nurture the feelings of motherhood. A supportive environment coupled with education, has the potential to positively impact the mother's milk production in the NICU and beyond. The episode is full of valuable, updated information for both NICU Parents and clinicians, so start listening now, or consider sharing the episode with someone who will gain some value from it!

#62 How Gratitude Changed My Mom Guilt and 5 Easy Gratitude Habits This past week, we went to the American Farm Bureau Fusion Conference in Jacksonville Florida. It was so nice to get away but I felt more Mom guilt than normal. This combined with the huge chore of packing for a cross county trip with a baby, sort of plagued the whole vacation and it got me thinking about how we can change mom guilt? While I am not sure we can ever totally get rid of it, I know that gratitude has changed mine is a big way. Adrienne DeSutter said, “Say Yes to help and no to everything else”. So I have begun saying Yes to help, without even thinking about it. It was just an automatic Yes please. Yes please take the baby, yes please prepare a plate for me, yes please get me a drink, yes please to, “do you need anything from the store”. People genuinely want to help others, LET THEM. Then instead of feeling guilty for accepting help, thank them and move on. When we use gratitude, it switches off our fight or flight response in our brain and helps to re-route blood from the survival mode part of our brain, to our “thrive” portion. Part of this is called our frontal lobe where we process information, emotions and logic. But a daily gratitude practice isn't for everyone so here are 5 easy ways to express gratitude 1.      Instead of saying what's up ask, what's good? 2.      Ask for everyone's “highs and lows” at the dinner table or in the car 3.      Take 5 Exercise 4.      Trade “I'm sorry” for “thank you” 5.      Journal-write it out or talk it out   Sources: https://halo.com/10-amazing-statistics-to-celebrate-national-gratitude-month/#:~:text=In%20a%20study%20of%20800,well%2Dbeing%20by%2010%25     Download the Farm Stress Bundle here: https://www.throwingwrenchesmendingfences.com/   If you enjoyed this episode, take a screenshot, post to Facebook or Instagram and tag me!

#61 Contentment on the Homefront and Actual Seatbelt Wearers with Jordan Waas Jordan Waas is a farmer in the Laurel highlands of Pennsylvania. They farm row crops in the hills and mountains and raise cattle where it gets too steep. She has four kids, a herd of registered red angus cattle and loves to make soap. We talk about how important it is to be comfortable at home and be able to actually relax. How God helps us to be more content and happy. He helps us to get through the hard times and move forward during loss and heartache. She teaches me all about raising Cattle and how EPD's (Expected Progeny Differences) are helping farmers strategize to build the heard they want. I also ask probably the worst question you can ask, “Do you actually wear your seatbelt [In the tractor]”?   Topics Covered: How to be more comfortable at home How to be more content How to cope with a hard calving season after lots of loss How to manage kids and farming How to actually relax on vacation     Download the Farm Stress Bundle here: https://www.throwingwrenchesmendingfences.com/   If you enjoyed this episode, take a screenshot, post to Facebook or Instagram and tag me!

Infants in the NICU, especially those born prematurely, encounter the challenge of effective bottle feeding and/or nursing due to their maturational development. Recently, to support their development, there has been a shift in the paradigm to move away from volume-driven feedings in the NICU to a cue-based approach. The practice of cue-based feedings, specifically the The Infant-Driven Feeding™ Program (IDF™), begins with a neurodevelopmental foundation and promotes positive feeding experiences from the first day of life. The IDF™ program is a developmentally supportive, individualized, cue-based feeding program offered by Dr. Brown's Medical. For our most recent podcast, I sat down with a former colleague of mine, Lisa Kleinz. Lisa is a Speech Pathologist and a Developmental Care Specialist who is currently the Director of Education for Dr. Brown's Medical. She is an expert on the The Infant-Driven Feeding™ Program and explains how the program supports the infant's development, promotes consistent feeding practices, encourages parental involvement, and has resulted in improved breastfeeding rates. The evidence-based research supports the IDF™ program and has shown a reduction in time to full oral feedings, a reduction in the length of hospital stay, reduced hospital costs, improved breastfeeding rates, and increased parental involvement including kangaroo care. The IDF™ program is beneficial for clinicians, parents and the infant. Once staff is educated, more consistent feeding methods are practiced which results in a positive feeding experience for the infant and caregiver. Learn more about all of the benefits of the the The Infant-Driven Feeding™ Program and how it can be implemented in your hospital. After listening, NICU clinicians will learn why it is so crucial to provide positive oral experiences from day one to the infant and how it will impact their future neurodevelopmental outcomes. Parents will learn specific ways that they can be involved with their infant that will positively impact their oral experiences from the moment they arrive into the NICU. Although we are unable to completely eliminate all of the negative experiences in the NICU, caregivers, including parents can make an effort to intentionally protect and support infants throughout their time in the NICU and beyond and the ability to create positive feeding experiences is a key component to that support.

#60 What is Stress, The Lesson All College Freshman Get Day One Stress is a reaction that our body produces when we think we cannot meet the demands based on the amount of resources we have available. Those resources are things like time, money, man power, sunlight or nice weather, tools, knowledge, etc.  In caveman times stress was a good thing it helped people to fight, run, outsmart the predator. Those stress responses were meant to help people to survive. Those who had the stress responses passed them onto the next generation. Stress is a good thing, it helps us to get more done, act without thinking, run, fight, push, argue, etc.  In the short-term it helps us to tackle the task at hand, in the long-term it can harm our mental health, our relationships and ultimately our overall wellness. This also can make us angry, anxious and chronically stressed out. The seven dimensions of wellness are physical, psychological, intellectual, financial, social, spiritual and environmental. 13 Ideas to Cope with Farm Stress 1 Morning routine 2 Gratitude practice 3 Create a helpful Mantra, something to remind yourself “this is what it's all about” 4 Use music as a tool 5 Mindful Minute 6 Get a hobby 7 Get creative 8 Spend time with friends 9 Do a date night 10 Exercise 11 Explore 12 Journal 13 Podcasts as a way to get your mind off of things   Download the Farm Stress Bundle here: https://www.throwingwrenchesmendingfences.com/   If you enjoyed this episode, take a screenshot, post to Facebook or Instagram and tag me!

#58 I was Burnt out-Here's Three Things That Helps Burn out is something millions of people face every year. It can cause anxiety and depression and unfortunately it doesn't just go away. I was burnt out, as you could probably tell from my last episode and here are three things that helped. Take a break from as many things as possible Re-evaluate what you are doing. Needs, Wants, Obligations and say no to something Let go of the guilt and shame associated with it Brene Brown is one of my favorite authors. Her work changed the way I thought about my past, my emotions, my relationships and the way I think about myself. She speaks about guilt and shame and for me, the two overlapped until I heard her quote, “Guilt is, I did something bad, shame is, I am bad”. Just because we are burnt out, overwhelmed, depressed or whatever, doesn't mean we can't move forward. You owe it to yourself to move past the burnout. Rebekah Lyon's book Rhythms of Renewal: Trading Stress and Anxiety for a Life of Peace and Purpose talks about inputs and outputs. Inputs are rest and restore while the output rhythms are connect and create.   Download the Farm Stress Bundle here: https://www.throwingwrenchesmendingfences.com/   If you enjoyed this episode, take a screenshot, post to Facebook or Instagram and tag me!

For infants in the NICU, especially those born prematurely, breast or bottle feeding effectively can oftentimes be a challenge. Maturational and developmental issues impact a premature infant's ability to adequately coordinate their sucking, swallowing, and breathing. Yet, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), attainment of adequate oral feedings that fully support growth without physiologic instability is a skill that needs to be fully established prior to an infant's discharge from the NICU. But, what is the best way to achieve full oral feedings in a developmentally supportive manner? For this podcast, we review cue-based feeding programs and why there has been a recent shift in the paradigm to move away from volume-driven feedings in the NICU. We discuss what places NICU infants, especially those born prematurely, at an increased risk for oral aversion and how we as caregivers and parents can minimize the risk. We discuss the benefits of cue-based feedings including how it promotes a more positive feeding experience for the infant and caregiver, its ability to support an infant's neurodevelopment, as well as findings from some recent research studies that have focused on cue-based feeding. If you are a clinician and curious about implementing a cue-based feeding program into your NICU, then stay tuned to hear all of the potential benefits. And for my parents who are listening, you will learn how beneficial it is to learn your infant's behavioral cues which will ultimately support your infant's development in the NICU and at home. You will not want to miss it, so stay tuned!

For our most recent episode, I continued to summarize the updated recommendations for care of the preterm and low birthweight infant from the World Health Organization (WHO) that were just released on November 15, 2022. The World Health Organization reviews the most up-to-date research findings and they develop global guidelines that are meant to help end-users or clinicians make informed decisions on whether, when, and how to undertake specific actions such as clinical interventions, diagnostic tests, or public health measures with the aim to achieve the best possible individual or collective health outcomes. Their goal is that everyone, everywhere can attain the highest level of health. The updated recommendations are relevant to national policy makers, NICU supervisors, managers, Neonatologist, NNPs, and NICU nurses. I think it's extremely important for anyone who works with the preterm and low birthweight population to be aware of the updated recommendations by the World Health Organization. I also believe that it is important that parents of preterm or low birthweight infants have some idea of what the recommendations entail and how it may impact the care given to their infant. So I will finish up discussing the recommendations today spotlighting the most pertinent points.

#57 Survival Mode-You Have Permission to do These 5 Things I am on survival mode right now. If I am lucky my daughter will sleep for one two hour stretch per night, other than that, she is up every 15-60minutes. It's funny what your brain does to you during these hours of sleep deprivation. The tik tok audio that says make the plan, execute the plan, expect the plan to go off the rails, throw away the plan, cry, sums things up perfectly.  Here are a few things I gave myself permission to do. Ask for help-do it early, do it often Overcommunicate Give yourself a pass, give yourself 10 passes, lower your standards Stop to take the picture Eat the cake-stop to enjoy the simple moments of joy; they are all around you just have to slow down enough to enjoy them.     Download the Farm Stress Bundle here: https://www.throwingwrenchesmendingfences.com/   If you enjoyed this episode, take a screenshot, post to Facebook or Instagram and tag me!

Out of nowhere I became entranced by frogs & they have slowly engulfed my entire life & my Pinterest Page! In honor of my Ohio roots, our apparel getting a little groggy lately & our new found love for these bulgy eyed little slime angels, let's hop right into this week's episode, The Loveland Frogman! Were all these sightings a case of mistaken identity, maybe just a large tailless iguana? Possibly an elaborate prank or hoax performed by the youths of Loveland? Or perhaps a darker secret lurking in the murky lakes, rivers & waterways of the Midwest? Cheers Bitches!
