Motherhood changes you. Your body, your brain, your relationships, your priorities — sometimes even your sense of who the fuck you are. In this episode, Florence gets brutally honest about the reality of becoming a new mum, from postpartum anxiety and breastfeeding to body changes, sex after birth and the pressure to somehow “bounce back”. We get into: The enormous identity shift that comes with becoming a mother Postpartum anxiety, mental health and why we need to talk about it Breastfeeding, body changes and the judgement new mums face Sex after birth, low libido, pain and learning to listen to your body How social media can affect postpartum body image Returning to work and the reality of corporate parental leave The wildly different ways motherhood can make you feel — from depletion and loss to empowerment and love Plus, we hear from our community about what motherhood changed for them and why there is no such thing as “bouncing back”.

Lindsay Clancy was back in court for the first time since her murder trial ended in a mistrial, and it was chaos. Plus, Christa Pike, the only woman on Tennessee's death row, is scheduled to be executed at 10 a.m. CT on September 30, 2026, after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to step in.Yesterday, Lindsay Clancy appeared in Plymouth Superior Court. The former Duxbury, Massachusetts labor and delivery nurse is charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of her three children. She pleaded not guilty, and her jury deadlocked 11 to 1 in favor of not guilty by reason of insanity.Defense attorney Kevin Reddington argued the Commonwealth never proved she caused the deaths. Prosecutor Shanan Buckingham called that argument "laughable." In this episode I break down:- The Rule 25 motion for a required finding of not guilty- Martin Weinberg's double jeopardy motion to dismiss- The fight over sealed jury notes and sidebar records- The "Juror Doe" motion aimed at the holdout juror- The DA's push for a gag order on Reddington- Why nobody will commit to a retrial datePlymouth County DA Timothy Cruz still won't say whether he'll retry the case. The next hearing is November 2.CHRISTA PIKE: In 1995, Christa Pike was 18 when she tortured and killed Colleen Slemmer, a 19-year-old fellow student at the Knoxville Job Corps Center. Sentenced to death at 20, she has spent 30 years on death row, most of it as the only woman there. We cover the crime, Colleen's life and her mother's 30-year wait, the defense arguments about age, childhood abuse and mental illness, Governor Bill Lee's clemency denial, the Supreme Court's denial, and Tennessee's lethal injection protocol after the abandoned Tony Carruthers execution attempt. If carried out, it would be the first execution of a woman in Tennessee in more than 200 years.One woman gets supporters in pink outside the courthouse. The other gets AI-generated videos of herself crying. What the public reaction to both cases says about who gets mercy in America, how jurors became targets, and why death penalty support is at its lowest point in 50 years.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-a-true-crime-podcast--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcastTikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedeviltruecrime

Lindsay Clancy, a Massachusetts mother who had been struggling with serious mental health symptoms after the birth of her third child, admitted to strangling her three young children with exercise bands while her husband was out picking up dinner and medication. She then jumped from a second-story window, survived, and was left paralyzed. Her first trial ended in a mistrial, leaving major questions about what happens next. In this episode of Zone 7, Sheryl McCollum welcomes back board-certified forensic pathologist Dr. Priya Banerjee to talk through the Lindsay Clancy case and what the medical evidence can help explain. Dr. Priya describes what the children’s injuries can tell us about how they died and why Lindsay’s mental state that night remains one of the central questions in the case. They also discuss the difficult months leading up to it, from Lindsay’s sleepless nights to changing prescriptions and the challenges of coordinating care across multiple providers, and consider what could change if the case goes to trial again. Highlights: (0:00) Sheryl and Dr. Priya address misinformation surrounding the Lindsay Clancy case and the questions following the mistrial (4:45) Why the repeated ligature strangulation of three children raises difficult medical and psychiatric questions (7:00) The Clancy children and the significance of different exercise bands being used to strangle each child● (8:15) Dr. Priya explains how ligature strangulation causes asphyxia, loss of consciousness, and irreversible brain injury (11:15) Lindsay Clancy’s injuries after jumping from a second-story window and Dr. Priya’s assessment of the suicide attempt (13:30) Postpartum anxiety, hormonal changes, severe sleep deprivation, and why recovery does not follow a simple timeline (17:15) Why psychiatric medications can take weeks to work and the complications of starting, stopping, or changing prescriptions (21:30) How mental illness, multiple providers, telehealth, and incomplete communication can complicate psychiatric care (23:45) Speculation about Patrick Clancy and what the defense stipulated at trial (25:45) What prescription drug monitoring programs can and cannot tell doctors about a patient's medication (29:30) Why another Lindsay Clancy trial could become a battle between psychiatric experts (33:00) The emotional toll that graphic child-death evidence can place on jurors asked to decide a difficult case Enjoying Zone 7?

Three months into motherhood, I'm sharing a personal update on life with baby Jax, my postpartum experience, and what this new chapter has been teaching me about time, priorities, and what matters most. After 11 years of Pursuing Health, I'm also taking some time to step back and reevaluate the podcast—what role it plays in my life, how I want to spend my limited time, and what direction it might take next. It's not goodbye. It's see you later.   Resources: www.pursuing-health.com   Related Episodes: Ep 335 - Empowered Motherhood with Annie Thorisdottir and Katrin Davidsdottir Ep 333 - Life Update: We're Having a Baby!   If you like this episode, please subscribe to Pursuing Health on iTunes and give it a rating or share your feedback on social media using the hashtag #PursuingHealth.

Candace almost didn't make it to this recording because she got completely sucked into a 9/11 documentary. So naturally, we start by talking about why so many of us millennials are still fascinated by 9/11 and can lose hours watching documentaries about it.Then we get into something that might feel a little too familiar if you're married with kids: keeping score. The “I did bedtime last night, so you should do it tonight” conversations. The mental tally of who got a break, who's been up with the kids, and who's done more around the house.We talk about how easy it is to fall into that tit-for-tat mentality when you're both exhausted. And let's be real, tit does not always equal tat, if you know what we mean.

Pregnancy with type 1 diabetes comes with tighter blood sugar targets, changing insulin needs, more appointments, and a whole new level of attention to your diabetes. But what does it actually look like to go through the entire experience?In this episode, Lauren sits down with Risely Coach Katerina Harmon, who recently welcomed her daughter, Lydia, to talk through her experience from preparing for pregnancy all the way through labor, delivery, breastfeeding, and the first few months postpartum.Katerina went into pregnancy feeling confident in her diabetes management, with an A1C of 5.9 and months of preparation behind her. But even with that foundation, there was plenty she had to figure out along the way, from insulin needs that changed dramatically throughout pregnancy to advocating for herself, preparing for labor and delivery, and finding a new rhythm with T1D once Lydia was here.WHAT WE COVER:What Katerina did months before trying to conceive to prepare her blood sugars for pregnancyHow her insulin needs changed throughout each trimesterWhy knowing how to recognize patterns and confidently adjust insulin became so importantKaterina's experience using manual mode during much of her pregnancyAdvocating for yourself with your endocrinology, MFM, and OB teamsHow Katerina prepared her husband to help manage her T1D during laborHer 44-hour labor, induction, epidural, and four and a half hours of pushingWhat happened to her insulin needs after giving birthBreastfeeding with T1D and navigating postpartum lowsWhat Katerina wishes women with T1D knew before beginning pregnancy prepIf pregnancy is something you're thinking about in the next year or two, you're actively preparing, or you're already pregnant, this conversation gives you an honest look at what the experience can actually look like with type 1 diabetes.WHAT'S NEXT:

Postpartum psychosis is a serious psychiatric emergency, but it's a topic that is often misunderstood, especially when news coverage focuses on the most tragic cases. In this episode, Allison Egidi talks with Laudy Burgos, a clinical social worker who specializes in perinatal mood disorders and serves in leadership roles with Postpartum Support International. Together, they take a closer look at what postpartum psychosis actually is, how it differs from postpartum depression and anxiety, and what families need to know about recognizing the signs. Laudy explains that postpartum psychosis involves a loss of connection with reality and can include hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, severe confusion, dramatic changes in behavior, agitation, rapid speech, and unusual or impulsive behavior. Symptoms can wax and wane, which can sometimes make the condition difficult for loved ones to recognize. The conversation also covers: How postpartum psychosis differs from postpartum depression and anxiety The signs and symptoms family members and partners should watch for Why a significant change from someone's usual behavior can be an important warning sign How sleep and insomnia can factor into postpartum psychosis The difference between being sleep-deprived because you're caring for a newborn and being unable to sleep even when you have the opportunity Risk factors, including bipolar disorder, a previous experience with postpartum psychosis, and a family history of bipolar disorder or psychosis When postpartum psychosis typically begins after childbirth Why someone experiencing psychosis may not recognize that anything is wrong What partners and loved ones should do if they are concerned Why postpartum psychosis should be treated as a psychiatric emergency What hospitalization and treatment can look like The importance of ongoing support, sleep, therapy, medication management, and family support during recovery Why the tragic cases that make the news do not represent the majority of people who experience postpartum psychosis The importance of talking about postpartum psychosis with both urgency and compassion Resources available through Postpartum Support International and the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline Most importantly, Laudy emphasizes that postpartum psychosis is an illness, not a choice or a reflection of someone's ability to be a good mother. With early detection and appropriate treatment, recovery is possible. Important: Postpartum psychosis is a medical and psychiatric emergency. If you believe someone may be experiencing postpartum psychosis, seek immediate professional help. In the episode, Laudy recommends contacting a psychiatrist who understands this emergency when possible, or going to the nearest emergency room/calling 911 if necessary to get someone to care safely.

This one is a full-circle moment. Our guest isn't just one of Mary Alice's oldest friends (25 years and counting), she's also one of Dr. A's real-life patients, the doctor who actually froze her eggs. Whitney Cummings, comedian, actress, and creator of 2 Broke Girls and Whitney, has built a career saying the things women usually only whisper about. Today she says them out loud, with us.Whitney was talking about freezing her eggs before it was a mainstream conversation (she did it at 33), and she is refreshingly, hilariously honest about getting pregnant at 40, being handed the term "geriatric pregnancy," the postpartum depression that came after her son, and the body image struggles she's carried for years. She and the hosts get into fertility, the real cost of waiting, why "biology is sexist," and the money advice she gives every young woman (skip the designer bag, save it for your eggs).Funny, tender, and the kind of honesty that makes you feel less alone.Subscribe to SHE MD Podcast for expert tips on PCOS, endometriosis, fertility, hormonal balance, mental health, and more.

She is the co-creator of 2 Broke Girls, the creator and star of NBC's Whitney, and the host of the podcast Good for You. Known for her disarmingly honest stand-up specials, Whitney has spoken openly about egg freezing, body image, sobriety, and her recovery from an eating disorder. She became a mom at 40 to her son Henry and has been candid about her pregnancy and postpartum journey.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Before you start looking for events, downloading apps, or trying to convince your partner to give it a shot, you need to have a few conversations first.Dr. Stephanie sits down with Jason Lee of That Other Lifestyle for a RAW, REAL, UNFILTERED conversation about what it actually takes to navigate the swinging lifestyle in a healthy, respectful way.They dig into the culture and etiquette of the lifestyle, why swinging should enhance rather than repair a relationship, and why the word “convince” should probably disappear from conversations about opening a relationship.They also tackle some of the issues men don't always talk about: performance pressure, erectile disappointment, masculinity, friendships, hygiene, communication, and the expectations men bring into lifestyle spaces.In this episode:• Why you can't “convince” your partner to swing• Is swinging a hobby—or part of your identity?• Boundaries vs. agreements vs. rules• What are “vanilla swingers”?• Why opening a relationship won't fix an unhealthy one• Consent and etiquette in lifestyle spaces• Why men experience sexual performance pressure• Erectile disappointment and getting out of your own head• Toxic masculinity and male friendship• Hygiene, appearance, and what people actually notice• Why communication needs to happen before you ever enter the playroom• The importance of not “yucking someone else's yum”Whether you're curious about swinging, brand-new to consensual non-monogamy, or you've been in the lifestyle for years, this episode goes beyond the fantasy and gets into the relationship skills that make navigating the lifestyle actually work.Connect with Jason Lee:That Other Lifestylehttps://thatotherlifestyle.comConnect with Dr. Stephanie:Evolve Your Intimacyhttps://www.evolveyourintimacy.comRAW.

This episode discusses the deaths of three children, a suicide attempt, postpartum psychosis and an active criminal trial. Amy is not a doctor or a licensed mental health professional. Everything here is her opinion as a mom of eight in recovery. If this one is not for you, skip it.Amy is talking about the Lindsay Clancy trial again. Sorry, not sorry.This is Part 1 of her breakdown, recorded as the trial moved from the evidence phase into the mental health testimony. She starts with why she cannot look away: she was arrested for a DUI with four of her kids in the car. She did not kill them. She could have. That is why this case has her heart.From there she gets into the difference between postpartum depression (common, and she has had it) and postpartum psychosis (rare, and what Lindsay's defense says she had), why the only question in front of the jury is sanity and not guilt, and why she believes a sick woman who kept asking for help was failed by doctors, insurance and a culture that does not let moms fall apart.The turning point is Patrick Clancy's testimony. The prosecution argued Lindsay was not taking her medication. Her husband testified she kept a daily diary: every drug, every dose, how she slept, how she felt, even a page tracking her own troubling thoughts. Those half-full pill bottles? Amy explains why they show a patient following instructions every time a doctor changed the plan, not a patient refusing care.In this episode:Why a sober mom of eight cannot stop watching this trialPostpartum depression vs. postpartum psychosis, in plain languageThe one question the jury is actually decidingWhat her friends, in-laws and husband said on the standWhy self-advocacy is nearly impossible when you are the one who is sickLindsay's diary, the pill bottles, and what Patrick Clancy's testimony did to the prosecution's theoryIf you or someone you love is struggling after a birth: Postpartum Support International, call or text 1-800-944-4773.

welcome to this hilarious episode.

This episode focuses on why hair loss happens, how to identify the real cause, and what listeners can do to support healthier hair before considering a transplant. Anthony Hartcher speaks with Dr. Adriana Nicole Rosales, a family medicine physician with a background in Navy medicine and a private practice spanning wellness, aesthetics, and hair restoration. They discuss common medical and lifestyle drivers of shedding, including androgenetic alopecia, thyroid issues, nutritional deficiencies, stress, and rapid weight loss associated with GLP-1 medications.Key topicsDr. Adriana Nicole Rosales describes her path from family medicine and Navy service to private practice, wellness care, aesthetics, and hair restoration.Hair loss is not just cosmetic—it can cause anxiety, distress, and concerns about self-image.Androgenetic alopecia is discussed as a common cause: testosterone can be converted into DHT, which damages hair follicles over time.Other causes include autoimmune conditions, telogen effluvium, thyroid dysfunction, and postpartum shedding.GLP-1-related hair loss may be associated with rapid weight loss, insufficient protein intake, and the body's stress response.Lifestyle and environmental stressors, including smoking, alcohol, and some chemical exposures, may contribute to cellular and follicle stress.Identifying the underlying cause may involve a physical exam, lab work, a scalp biopsy, or referral to a specialist.Hair-health basics include adequate protein, a nutrient-rich diet, and addressing factors that may put stress on the body.Dr. Rosales discusses the limits of supplements such as biotin and collagen as standalone hair-regrowth solutions.She explains exosomes as cellular communication packets and discusses their use in hair-restoration protocols.Aim for adequate protein, especially when losing weight or using a GLP-1 medication.Avoid rapid weight loss without medical supervision.If hair shedding is sudden or diffuse, discuss possible underlying causes with a qualified clinician.Ask your clinician whether thyroid function or nutritional deficiencies should be evaluated.Protect your scalp from sun exposure, especially if you have thinning hair or a visible part.Seek support if stress is affecting your well-being or contributing to distress about hair loss.Timestamps00:00 — Welcome and why hair loss matters00:30 — Dr. Rosales's path from family medicine to hair restoration02:34 — Why she joined the Navy and what military medicine taught her04:22 — Life on an aircraft carrier and working with limited resources06:56 — Shifting the conversation to hair loss prevention and treatment07:55 — Common causes of hair loss09:01 — GLP-1 use, rapid weight loss, and delayed shedding10:27 — Postpartum shedding and thyroid dysfunction11:34 — Nutritional deficiencies, traction alopecia, and scalp infections12:55 — Why finding the right diagnosis matters13:25 — Testosterone, DHT, and follicle damage15:20 — Rapid weight loss versus other peptides18:28 — The body's stress response during rapid weight loss19:29 — Smoking, toxins, and cellular damage21:00 — The purpose of hair and what it can signal22:34 — Hair, keratin, and the body's toxin-removal systems23:29 — Sun protection and scalp health25:18 — Healthy eating and adequate protein27:21 — Biotin, collagen, and hair-regrowth evidence28:56 — Shampoos and topical products30:58 — What exosomes are and how they relate to hair regeneration34:11 — How exosomes may be administered35:48 — Cell phones, EMFs, and hair growth39:33 — Emotional stress and telogen effluvium41:31 — The cycle of stress and hair loss42:49 — How to contact Dr. RosalesGuest contact: Dr. Adriana Nicole Rosales shared pacificclinic.com and Pacific Clinic Bellevue's Instagram and Facebook accounts as ways to connect.

I'm back, guys! Almost ten months postpartum, and I finally feel like I'm getting back to myself. Motherhood has changed so much about my life, including the way I approach health and fitness, and I'm ready to share what that journey has really looked like. From navigating breastfeeding and finding time to work out to rebuilding my strength and confidence, I'm getting into everything that's helped me feel like the best version of myself again. I'm breaking down my current workout routine, how I've incorporated weightlifting, HIIT, hiking, and tennis, and what my nutrition looks like now that I'm juggling life with Kai. We talk about losing the baby weight, rebuilding my core after a C-section, my experience with peptides, and why I've had to rethink what prioritizing wellness actually looks like as a mom. Plus, I'm sharing a personal update I haven't talked about publicly yet: my recent breast lift, reduction, and fat transfer with Dr. Anne Steve in New York, why I decided to do it before baby number two, and what recovery has been like. I'm also answering your questions about postpartum weight loss, building muscle, balancing sleep and exercise, and staying consistent when life looks completely different than it used to. If you're navigating postpartum, trying to find your way back to fitness, or just figuring out how to make your health a priority in a new season of life, this one's for you. _____ Leave Me a Message -⁠ click here!⁠ For Mari's Instagram⁠ click here!⁠ For Pursuit of Wellness Podcast's Instagram⁠ click here!⁠ For Mari's Newsletter⁠ click here!⁠ For Mari's TikTok⁠ click here!

On today's solo episode, I'm sharing my postpartum playbook and taking you through my first month after having Reign. I dive into the systems I put in place before giving birth, from having full-time help and preparing meals to setting expectations with Nish and prioritizing sleep and recovery. I also share how I approached breastfeeding, getting back into movement, supporting my body through nutrition and supplements, and the postpartum routines that have helped me feel more like myself again. We talk about the importance of having a village, asking for help, creating systems that take decision-making off your plate, and giving yourself permission to prioritize your own recovery while caring for a newborn. I also open up about what the first few weeks actually felt like emotionally and physically, what surprised me about postpartum, and why I believe women deserve more support during this transition. If you're pregnant, preparing for postpartum, or simply curious about what my first month of motherhood has been like, this episode is for you.

A four-year-old boy who can't sit still for circle time used to just be a four-year-old boy. Now it's an evaluation, a diagnosis, a meeting where you nod politely and then cry in the car. That's where this conversation started, and it's the one I've been wanting to have for a long time. I'm a mother of three boys, and Dr. Michael Milobsky said the thing I've felt in my body for years: most of the boys who end up in his office are completely normal. The label is the problem, not the boy. He's a pediatrician of thirty years and a father of seven, and he told me he learned more from raising his own kids than from any of his training. He changed my mind on things I walked in sure about, which I don't say often. We get into why our boys are in crisis and what mislabeling does to a boy by the time he's fourteen. What our daughters actually need to grow up confident, which is not the conversation girl moms are being handed. Why he calls ADHD an operating system and not a disorder. And the one thing a father gives a child that a mother can't, which, to my surprise, is not discipline. It's regulation. Then it turned, the way the best ones do. He told me about the pain he carried in his body for years and refused to look at, until it cost him his leg, and what he found waiting on the other side of finally listening to it. His line for it: losing his leg let him grow wings. I came into this conversation thinking about my children. I left it thinking about myself. This is for the mother who has been told her child has a problem. For the one quietly certain she's doing all of this wrong. For the one who keeps promising she'll get to herself later. Our kids are not broken. A lot of what we're labeling in them is really just what we haven't looked at in ourselves, and you being okay is the single most powerful thing you'll ever give them.

They can change desire, communication, emotional connection, and the way we experience our partners.In this episode of Evolve Your Intimacy, Dr. Stephanie is joined by psychotherapist, executive coach, relationship specialist, and mental health advocate Jessica Connell for an honest conversation about what happens to intimacy when life gets HARD.They explore why couples sometimes mistake stress responses for relationship problems, what happens when sex shifts from pleasure and connection to another item on the to-do list, and why periods of disconnection don't necessarily mean you've fallen out of love.They also dive into infertility and the grief and pressure that can surround sex, the enormous relationship transition into parenthood, postpartum anxiety and depression, resentment and the mental load, and why high achievers may be especially vulnerable to silently burning out.Plus, Jessica and Dr. Stephanie share practical ways couples can begin reconnecting—including how to start difficult conversations when you don't even know what to say.If you've ever looked at your partner and wondered, “What happened to us?” this episode may help you ask a different question:What has been happening TO us—and how can we find our way back to each other?

Postpartum looks different for every woman. Let's talk about recovery, compassion, accountability, and whether struggling should ever be seen as an excuse.

Welcome to Mikvah.org's Summer Learning Series. Throughout this series, you'll hear from esteemed Rabbanim as they discuss a variety of practical halachic topics, providing clarity, perspective, and guidance on questions that arise in everyday life.In this episode, Rabbi Levi Jacobson discusses how husbands can provide meaningful support to their wives during labor, delivery, and postpartum while remaining guided by halacha. He covers when a woman becomes a niddah during labor and the application of the halachos of harchakos during this important time.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss 1619 Project author Nikole Hannah-Jones confesing her rigid ideology forced her child to spend a decade in failing public schools, Venezuela moving hundreds of billions in gold from the UK to the U.S., Massachusetts planning to send people to new moms to make an "assessment." and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker revealing he's dropped 80 pounds ahead of a planned 2028 presidential campaign.First, they react to Hannah-Jones expressing regret for sending her daughter to lousy schools to make a social and cultural point and how angry her daughter is about that. Jim and Greg are glad she admitting all this but the column also suggests she hasn't learned some of the most important lessons from this.Next, they weigh in on Venezuela moving approximately $900 billion from London to be kept in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in Manhattan. Jim explains why this matters for us and, maybe, the people of Venezuela.Then, they recoil at a new program in Massachusetts that Gov. Maura Healey describes as a state-sponsored visit to the home of every new mom so that an "assessment" can be made. Supposedly, this program is voluntary. If it is, Jim and Greg still don't like it. If it's mandatory, they see huge constitutional issues with this.Finally, they react to Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker announcing he has lost 80 pounds through GLP-1 meds. Jim and Greg quickly deduce Pritzker is all in for 2028.Please visit our great sponsors:BetterHelpSign up and get 10% off at http://BetterHelp.com/3ML and start feeling better.New episodes every weekday.

One of the things I've learned over the years is that the work we feel most drawn to often has some connection to our own experiences. That doesn't mean our story becomes the center of the therapy room, but it can absolutely shape the populations we care about, the problems we notice, and the kind of practice we want to build. In this episode, I talk with Hannah Short about how her own experiences with eating disorder recovery and postpartum helped shape her clinical niche. We also get into thoughtful self-disclosure, creating a practice where clients feel genuinely understood, moving from virtual work into an in-person office, and using systems and AI to make solo practice a little more manageable. There's a lot here about finding meaningful work, building a practice around it, and remembering that sometimes the best clues about your niche are already part of your story.

If you ever feel the urge to occupy yourself entirely with learning about the directionality of stroller wheels, is it an all-wheel-drive baby stroller? There's dense literature on Reddit parenting forums. You'll come out more educated on strollers, and equally confused about which one to buy.But that's surface-level content. It gets much deeper. You might stumble on posts asking whether it's normal to hear cries that aren't really there in the middle of the night: phantom cries. They used to call it “insanity of lactation.” Now it's postpartum psychosis, a rare, severe condition distinct from postpartum depression. Postpartum depression is more common, affecting about one in eight people who give birth. Postpartum psychosis affects roughly one to two per 1,000 births. Depression can mean persistent sadness, anxiety, and exhaustion. Psychosis can involve hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized behavior, and it can be intermittent, hidden behind long lucid periods. That distinction has become central to the question surrounding Lindsay Clancy: did she have postpartum psychosis, or didn't she?

Send us Fan MailI wanted to start today's episode with a warning. Today's episode went down some very dark roads and the subject matter is sensitive. We discussed the vicious murders of Cora, Dawson, and Callan Clancy at the hands of their mother, Lindsay. January 24, 2023, at the family's home of Patrick and Lindsay Clancy on Summer Street in Duxbury, Massachusetts Lindsay Clancy brutally and savagely murdered her three children, Cora Clancy (5), Dawson Clancy (3), and Callan Clancy (8 months) by taking them into the basement and strangling them one by one with an exercise band.There's a lot of misinformation surrounding this case. It's time for conversations grounded in facts rather than feelings or bias. Helping me tackle it today is bestselling author, defense attorney, and expert on the pathology of the criminal mind, Kerrie Droban.Kerrie is an award-winning author and criminal defense attorney in Arizona. She holds a master's degree from the Johns Hopkins University Writing Seminars and a Master of Fine Arts and Juris Doctorate from the University of Arizona. She has keynoted gang task force conferences and national writing conferences, and has appeared on CNBC's American Greed, A&E's Gangland, the American Heroes Channel's Codes and Conspiracies, Investigation ID, and the Discovery Channel's Deadly Devotion.We recorded this conversation on September 14, 2026, after the trial ended in a mistrial. The killings aren't in dispute. The question at trial was whether Lindsay was criminally responsible, and prosecutors argued she acted deliberately. After hearing our conversation, decide for yourself.In today's episode we discuss:·      The lack of outrage for the three innocent and defenseless children who were murdered by their mother.·      The “Team Lindsay” movement throwing money and support at a mom who viciously and meticulously killed her three children. ·      Gender bias: would a father who did this be seen as sick, or as a monster?·      Aurora, which Kerrie co-wrote with Dr. Lynne Fenton, and how public opinion of blaming health care providers has shifted.·      Postpartum depression is real and common ([verified stat, source]). Postpartum psychosis is rare, and Lindsay's diagnosis came only after the killings, from a forensic psychiatrist. ·      Flaws in the mental health system: per the prosecution, about 30 prescriptions for 13 psychiatric medications in the four months before, taken sporadically.·      Five clinicians and two hospitals saw her in that window, and none diagnosed psychosis or bipolar disorder·      The evil that is in the world today and the monsters who can't be helped.·      Prosecutors focused on the vagueness of the voice Clancy claimed to hear: she had to choose where — the basement; she had to choose how — strangulation.·      Lindsay's preparation and premeditation before she killed her children.·      Jurors who have raced to get their five minutes of fame. This quote from a juror sums it up. “He had the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children.” ·      “Team Clancy” is doing no favors for the feminist movement. This is setting a precedent. Do we have to test mothers who are coming off maternity leave with jobs that might harm others before we let them back into the workplace? Surgeons, cops, pilots, military- all jobs that were, and still are, male-dominated. Do you want a woman who is postpartum and potentially has postpartum psychosis with the launch codes to the nukes?All of this and more on today's episode of the Cops and Writers podcast.Visit Kerrie Droban on her website!Please visit the Cops and Writers website.What's the craziest thing you saw when you were a cop?My first week on the job, a guy running at me with a butcher knife.

Vanessa breaks down the biggest scientific takeaways and most actionable gems from her recent conversation with Dr. Lee Breen, one of the world's leading researchers in protein metabolism, resistance training and skeletal muscle health across the lifespan. Before diving into the latest research, Vanessa shares an exciting update from her postpartum fat-loss and body-recomposition journey: she has lost five pounds since beginning her gentle fat-loss phase two weeks ago. She explains the four simple food swaps that reduced her intake by only approximately 150–200 calories per day, why the initial change likely includes water and glycogen as well as body fat, and how she is using three to four resistance-training sessions per week to gradually reveal her muscle while continuing to exclusively breastfeed baby Taylor. Vanessa also shares why she is deliberately giving herself the longest possible runway, why she does not expect to continue losing five pounds every two weeks, and why she plans to wait until Taylor begins eating solid foods before bringing Protein-Sparing Modified Fasting days back into her routine.

One of the biggest themes from Dr. Breen's research is that losing weight and improving your body composition are not necessarily the same thing. Vanessa explores why the scale cannot tell you whether you are losing fat, water or metabolically active tissue; how much lean mass may be lost during significant weight loss; and why regaining weight after dieting or discontinuing a GLP-1 medication could potentially leave someone with less muscle and a higher body-fat percentage than when they started. She also examines how much protein may be needed to protect muscle during weight loss. Is approximately 1.4 grams per kilogram enough, or should you aim closer to 2–2.2 grams per kilogram? And how should that target change based on your body size, activity level, age and the aggressiveness of your calorie deficit?

Vanessa explains why protein and resistance training are most powerful when used together, why at least two whole-body resistance-training sessions per week can provide an effective starting point, and how training tells the body where the amino acids from dietary protein are needed. She also unpacks Dr. Breen's research comparing whey and pea protein in middle-aged and older adults. Whey produced a greater leucine response—but did that translate into more muscle protein synthesis over the complete 10-day intervention? The full results were more nuanced than a simple animal-versus-plant-protein conclusion. They also revealed something potentially even more important about the effect of resistance training on the muscle's ability to use the protein being consumed. Vanessa finishes with Dr. Breen's fascinating prehabilitation research showing that a single resistance-training session helped protect older adults' muscle during five days of bed rest, emerging evidence on whey protein and glycemic control, and the essential questions anyone using a GLP-1 medication should consider to help protect muscle and improve the quality of their weight loss. In this episode: Vanessa's latest postpartum fat-loss and body-recomposition update How she lost five pounds during her first two weeks of gentle dieting Why those five pounds are unlikely to represent body fat alone The four simple swaps that reduced her intake by approximately 150–200 calories per day Why she expects her rate of weight loss to slow from here How she is approaching fat loss while exclusively breastfeeding Why she is deliberately giving herself a longer fat-loss runway Her goal of protecting her muscle—and potentially more facial fat and collagen—this time Why she is waiting until Taylor begins solid foods before reintroducing PSMF days How three to four weekly resistance-training sessions are supporting her body recomposition Why she plans to complete another DEXA scan at the end of the process Why losing weight and improving body composition are not necessarily the same thing How much lean mass may be lost during significant weight loss Why lean mass loss is not always identical to contractile-muscle loss What may happen to body composition when lost weight is regained The potential consequences of losing fat and muscle but regaining predominantly fat Why the scale should not be your only measure of progress DEXA scans, measurements, strength, performance, photographs and clothing fit Why muscle preservation must be built into a fat-loss plan from the beginning Is 1.4 grams of protein per kilogram enough during weight loss? When 2–2.2 grams per kilogram may provide additional muscle protection Why the conventional protein RDA should not be treated as an optimal fat-loss target When goal weight, adjusted body weight or estimated lean mass may provide a more appropriate calculation Why protein and resistance training work better together How training helps your muscles use the amino acids you consume Why two whole-body resistance-training sessions per week can be an effective starting point How to begin resistance training without a complicated program or gym membership Why breakfast may be the most important protein meal to improve The potential benefits of approximately 0.4 grams of protein per kilogram per meal How to create a breakfast containing approximately 25–40 grams of protein Why two eggs may not provide as much protein as many people assume When protein's appetite-suppressing effect is helpful—and when it may not be Why an enormous protein shake could be counterproductive for a frail older adult with a low appetite Whey protein vs. pea protein in Dr. Breen's latest research Why whey produced a greater leucine response Did the higher leucine response produce more muscle protein synthesis? Why well-planned plant protein can still support muscle remodeling When protein quality may become more consequential Why nothing has consistently outperformed whey protein Why whey can be especially efficient when calories or appetite are limited The benefits of a "food first, but not food always" approach When a protein supplement can be a practical tool Why ingredient quality and third-party testing matter Could one resistance-training session help protect muscle for five days? What prehabilitation may mean before planned surgery or predictable inactivity How Vanessa used a similar strategy before delivering her babies Why building muscle now creates a reserve for future illness, injury or inactivity Can whey protein help improve post-meal glycemic control? Why the idea that whey is automatically bad for blood sugar because it stimulates insulin is overly simplistic Previous research using approximately 15 grams of whey with or before carbohydrate-rich meals Dr. Breen's ongoing trial in adults over 75 with obesity and type 2 diabetes The difference between completed findings and promising ongoing research Why protein, resistance training and diet quality become more important—not less—when using a GLP-1 medication The questions every GLP-1 user should consider about protein, strength, fiber, micronutrients and long-term maintenance Vanessa's practical action plan for losing fat while protecting muscle BACK TO SCHOOL SALE!

Welcome to The LongHer Life, formerly Biohacking with Brittany. To kick off this new era, I'm not giving you a list of supplements. I'm giving you me. These are 10 things you probably don't know about me, and some of them I've never said on the mic before. I share why I outgrew Biohacking with Brittany, and I read you the letter I wrote to my old self to close that chapter. Then we go deep: growing up in South Africa and moving to Canada at 7, my parents' divorce and caring for them as a teenager, growing up very Christian and where I stand with faith and spirituality now, my breech baby and traumatic birth, and the postpartum anxiety and intrusive thoughts I didn't recognize until I came out of them. I also open up about the hardest season of my marriage, how I pick up on energy, the signs I keep getting that I'm going to have twins, why I thought I'd never work one on one again, and what it's like being a visionary who still has mom guilt.

Lindsey is back with part two of her postpartum catch-up, getting honest about personal growth, relationships, and identity after becoming a mom of two. She shares what this season has taught her about asking for help, letting go of comparison, and giving herself permission to do motherhood her own way. She opens up about marriage, couples therapy, communication, and the reality of doing the relationship work while raising two kids. She also talks about how her priorities have shifted, what she's temporarily letting go of, and why she's learning to trust the timing of her creativity + career. Most of all, Lindsey reflects on the identity shift that comes with a major life transition—and why uncertainty doesn't have to mean confusion. This is a reminder to give yourself grace, stay present, and trust that the next version of you is allowed to look different. We also talk about:  Building a childcare + support system that actually works for you Why you shouldn't compare your motherhood to anyone else's Marriage, couples therapy, and staying connected through big life changes Why communication gets harder when you're overwhelmed The identity shift that comes with becoming a mom of two Letting go of perfection, productivity, and pressure Putting creativity + career on the back burner without abandoning them Trusting the ebb + flow of priorities, relationships, and self-care Entering a new decade with more uncertainty, curiosity, and trust Resources: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindseysimcik/ Substack: https://momplex.substack.com Shop on eufy.com:https://eufyofficial.com/eufy_Baby_BFM_Campaign_Almost30_0_197307 Shop on Amazon:https://shop.eufy.com/eufy_Baby_BFM_Campaign_233172 Discount code: AM30EUFY for an extra 15% off.

Join the waitlist for first access and 30% off.What happens when your career is built around fitness and, after having a baby, you realise you don't actually want to rush to get your old body or routine back?This week, Zoe is joined by fitness expert, entrepreneur and WeGLOW founder Steph Williams, just four-and-a-half months after becoming a mother, for an incredibly honest conversation about postpartum recovery, breastfeeding, exercise, body image and the enormous identity shift that happens when you have a baby.Steph shares the reality of breastfeeding and why stopping to return to work left her feeling unexpectedly emotional and guilty. She also opens up about the pressure she felt to “bounce back” after birth — particularly as someone whose career has been built around fitness, strength and her body.But motherhood changed her perspective. Instead of rushing back to the person she was before, Steph realised that exercise would always be there — these first months with her baby wouldn't be.We talk about how to return to exercise after having a baby without falling into an all-or-nothing mindset, why a 10-minute workout still counts, and what “listening to your body” actually means. Steph shares how she's learned to adapt movement depending on what her body needs rather than forcing herself through a rigid training plan.Steph also shares her experience of endometriosis, being dismissed before eventually receiving a diagnosis, and how that experience led her to learn more about women's hormones, menstrual cycles, nutrition and exercise. We explore how understanding your cycle can help you adjust the way you move and eat — and why women deserve far better education about their own bodies.This is a conversation about fitness, but it's really about something much bigger: letting go of who you thought you'd be after having a baby and learning to work with the woman and body you are now.

In this episode, Allie dives into the topic of toxic mommy culture, asking questions about whether or not postpartum moms truly lack control over their bodies. Allie looks at how toxic mommy culture is being spread online through videos of moms embarrassing their sweet babies for clicks and the influence of the Lindsay Clancy case on these trends. While postpartum depression and anxiety do exist, what is being seen online is rooted in the sin of anger that is not being handled with maturity. Allie offers encouragement to those struggling, sharing that the Holy Spirit is not hindered by women's hormones and gives biblical advice as to how Christians' should handle emotions or negative feelings toward their kids. To help tackle this topic, Allie invites mom and Share the Arrows speaker Audrey Broggi onto the show to share both wisdom and personal experience. Allie concludes by looking at the one hold out juror in the Lindsay Clancy case and the horrendous push back he has been receiving for his decision.   Do you have a question for Allie?

They also discuss the public reaction to the Lindsay Clancy case without speculating about anyone involved.Content note: Content note: This episode discusses suicidal thoughts, intrusive thoughts, and the deaths of children. When Andrea shares her thoughts on when to get help, it is in relation to postpartum anxiety, depression, and difficult postpartum transitions.
