In this second conversation with postpartum coach and mom of five, Chassie Cox, Heather and Chassie go deep into what happens after the baby years—and why postpartum is actually a lifelong experience. Chassie shares how years of untreated postpartum depression and anxiety led to a spiritual and emotional rock bottom, and how holistic healing—mind, body, and spirit—completely changed her motherhood, marriage, and testimony of Jesus Christ. They explore nervous system regulation, inner child work, and how revisiting your story doesn't "reopen wounds," but transforms pain into wisdom. This episode is especially for moms who feel like they're "doing all the spiritual things" but still feel stuck, overwhelmed, or far from God.

Tonight's show is for the people who feel like they're doing life by themselves, even when they're surrounded by others. If you're a new dad wrestling with emotions you can't explain. If you're in your 40s, 50s, or beyond and wondering when your circle got smaller. If the holidays make the quiet moments feel heavier than normal. You are not alone. We're joined by Dr. Sheehan Fisher from Northwestern Medicine to talk about paternal postpartum depression, a struggle many fathers have but almost no one discusses. And Heather Nawrocki from AARP shares new research about loneliness in adults over 45, why it's hitting so many in midlife, and how to take real steps toward connection again. If you need understanding, encouragement, or just a reminder that someone sees what you're going through, tonight's show is for you.
On this Make A Difference Minute, Dr. Sheehan Fisher from Northwestern Medicine shares an important truth many families never hear, about one in ten new fathers experience postpartum depression. The symptoms often look different in men, which means many cases go unnoticed or untreated. Dr. Fisher explains why dads are vulnerable during those early months, how their mental health can affect the whole family, and where fathers can turn for help. He also highlights resources available for new dads who may be struggling in silence. Sponsor: Premier Structures, Inc. PremierStructures.com

In today's conversation, Heather sits down with coach Chassie Cox, a mom of five and postpartum coach, to talk about the overlapping worlds of postpartum depression/anxiety, trauma, and faith. Chassie shares her story of hitting rock bottom in 2020 after her fifth baby was born—navigating intrusive thoughts, suicidal ideation, her husband losing his job, and a painful season where she felt she had lost her faith in God and Jesus Christ. Together, Heather and Chassie explore how trauma actually lives in the body, why motherhood often pulls old wounds to the surface, and how healing can become a deeply spiritual journey. They talk about generational trauma, birth trauma, somatic healing, and what it really means to relearn who God and Christ are.

Like so many, Pam Krooth, LCSW, spent years trying not to get pregnant, only to find herself aching for the thing she once assumed would come easily. What followed was a long, emotional road marked by pain, heartbreak, and the slow, painful shift between expectation and reality. Throughout Pam's story, we see how the path to the family she hoped for looked nothing like what she once imagined, and how hard it was when the timing was out of her control. After infertility, postpartum depression, and a miraculous adoption, she found her way to a different kind of motherhood, which reminds us to stay open to the many ways a family can be created, because the unexpected path can sometimes lead somewhere even more beautiful. This raw, honest conversation reminds us that there isn't one way to become a parent, and that every path, however unexpected, is miraculous. More about Pam Krooth: Pam Krooth is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who resides in Maryland with her husband, two children and French Bulldog. She is the mother of a biological and adopted child. She is currently on the Board of Directors at The Lab School of Washington, DC, an independent private school for children with language based learning differences. And is on the Board of Directors at Center for Adoption Support and Education (CASE), an organization that provides mental health treatment and education to adoptive, foster and kinship individuals and families, as well as training in adoption competency to professionals working with these populations.

In many East Asian cultures, childbirth marks not just a beginning, but a sacred period of recovery known as Zuò Yuè Zi, or “sitting the month.” Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, this postnatal confinement practice emphasizes rest, warmth, and nourishment to restore balance and vitality after delivery, which is said to deplete the mother's qi, or vital life force. In the modern and busy world of working mothers with unpaid maternity leave, is it possible to incorporate facets of an ancient rejuvenating practice into the home?In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Kristal Lau, MBBS, MPH, BMedSc. Dr. Lau is a board-certified physician with over a decade of experience, the leading postpartum wellness consultant, author of 'Postpartum 30' (double winner at the NYC Big Book Award), and the founder of Bridges in Health and Mama's Wing Woman, a consulting company that creates wellness experiences for individuals and families and provides postpartum planning, coaching, and wellness programs to new parents and their families.Dr. Lau received her MBBS from the University of Queensland in Brisbane, MPH in Health Care Organization and Policy from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and General Medicine residency in Australia.

Brooklyn talks about the mental fortitude required to keep showing up as she battled for her pro card this season, eventually taking home that title and accomplishing her goal of becoming an IFBB pro!! Brooklyn's story serves as a beacon of hope for women facing similar challenges, emphasizing that persistence and self-belief can lead to achieving one's goals.We hope that you enjoyed this episode and if so, we would LOVE it if you would rate, subscribe, and leave us reviews on how this podcast has helped you

Leave a review! If you've ever felt like you were drowning in the dumps after your baby arrived, even though you feel like you "should" be happy, or your faith "should" be enough to pull yourself out ... this one's for you. I saw a gaping hole in Christian circles around the topic of Postpartum Depression, and sought out Mary Reames Rinehart of Lucera Health to bring more light to the topic. Mary drops some truth bombs with practical faith-based tips to support Christian moms who are in the thick of something way deeper than the "baby blues". Because we don't have to suffer in silence just because we know that God loves us, and sometimes giving (what feels like defeat) a name helps us take one step closer to taming it. So, grab a pen and paper and hit play for this LAST episode of the Strong After Birth Podcast. And, if you haven't already, hit SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel.

Send us a textThe story starts with a beautiful birth and an answered prayer—then swerves into a darkness many parents never talk about. Audrey Frasier, a nurse and mom of two, opens up about the weeks after welcoming her second baby: elimination diets that collapsed to eight foods, mastitis and high fevers, a house hit by COVID, and nights carved into 30-minute scraps of sleep. Under the weight of it all, the thought finally surfaced: “I'm not okay.” Naming it—postpartum depression—changed the course.We walk the full arc with her: the slow-building overwhelm, the moment a friend heard the strain over the phone, and the choice to stop breastfeeding cold turkey with compassion and closure. From there, the plan sharpens—medication adjusted, therapy booked, a lactation consultant who asked what “goodbye” needed to look like, and a midwife who treated food and sleep as clinical interventions. Most of all, the community moved. Friends mapped coverage for the fragile hours, organized a new meal train, showed up for six-hour stretches, and made sure she wasn't alone long enough to sink.What follows is a steady return: the baby's screams fade on formula, eye contact turns into bonding, and the home breathes again. Audrey's honesty reframes maternal mental health: postpartum depression isn't just sadness—it can be rage, numbness, and feeling trapped while performing well on the outside. It's also survivable with a clear name, a reachable plan, and people who carry some of the weight. If you've ever felt that fog—or know someone who might—this conversation offers a map, language, and hope.If this resonated, share it with a friend, subscribe for more candid stories, and leave a review to help others find the show.

Send us a textThere is a massive blind spot in perinatal mental health: the failure to investigate root causes. This episode is a fierce wake-up call. Postpartum professionals, stop watching new moms get a PPD/PPA label when their body is screaming for help. That crippling fatigue, brain fog, and anxiety is often a symptom of profound physiological imbalance, not just a psychiatric one. We're exposing the epidemic of undiagnosed medical conditions—like Hashimoto's, severe iron deficiency, and B12 depletion—that mimic PPD. If you want lasting solutions and to quit playing symptom whack-a-mole, you must learn to spot the "Anxious Mother" and "Depleted Mom" patterns and confidently demand the life-saving comprehensive labs that reveal the truth.Check out the episode on the blog HERE: https://postpartumu.com/podcast/when-its-not-depression-misdiagnosed-mental-health-in-postpartum-ep-236/Key time stamps: 0:00The Crisis in Postpartum Care 1:10 Sarah's Story: Misdiagnosed and Depleted3:37 Labs No One Ordered6:58 Maranda's Postpartum Wake-Up Call11:42 Stats That Should Make You Angry15:02 Symptom Whack-a-Mole in Clinics17:49 Screening Limits and Missed Needs21: 16 Pattern One: The Anxious Mother24:32 Pattern Two: The Depleted Mom27:12 Thyroid Truths Postpartum31:09 Inflammation as a Driver33:35 A New Model: Root-Cause Training37:12 The Cost of Misdiagnosis40:22 What Moms and Providers Can Do NEXT STEPS:

It can have lasting effects on mums, on their relationships with their babies, on their friendships and their relationships.

I'm joined by my friend Sindiso Nyoni, a renowned Zimbabwean graphic artist, illustrator, and activist whose work has been showcased from New York to Berlin. But today we're not talking about his international acclaim - we're diving deep into his experience as a hands-on father navigating an unexpected journey into primary caregiving. Sindiso shares the reality of becoming a father during COVID while his partner experienced severe postpartum depression. For two years, he took on what many would consider the "traditional maternal role" - night feeds, constant care, being the primary attachment figure. This experience challenged everything he thought he knew about fatherhood and masculinity in an African context. We explore how his brain literally changed through this intensive caregiving, softening his art from "edgy and rigid" to more considered and gentle. Sindiso reflects on the strange looks he gets changing his son's diaper in public, the politics of vulnerable masculinity, and how becoming a father shifted his artistic focus toward children's rights and global justice issues. This conversation touches on mental health stigma, the isolation of immigration, finding support systems, and how art became his lifeline through the chaos of early fatherhood. An honest look at modern masculinity, attachment, and the transformative power of showing up fully as a parent.

Joanna Moncrieff is a British psychiatrist and academic. She is Professor of Critical and Social Psychiatry at University College London and a member of the Critical Psychiatry Network. She is the author of The Myth of the Chemical Cure and The Bitterest Pills, which are considered central texts in the critical psychiatry movement. Moncrieff is critical of mainstream psychiatry's medical model of mental illness. Professor Moncrief's 2022 paper in molecular psychiatry didn't just make waves, it created a tsunami. Leading a systemic review of five decades of research, she and her team definitively demonstrated what no one had dared to state so clearly that there's no convincing evidence that depression is caused by a serotonin imbalance or any chemical imbalance at all. This paper became one of the most widely read scientific papers in modern history, ranking in the top 5 % of all research ever tracked. The world took notice because the world needed to know. Her groundbreaking new book, Chemically Imbalanced, The Making and Unmaking of the Serotonin Myth, meticulously documents how an entire medical narrative was constructed without scientific foundation marketed to billions and defended by institutions that should know better.https://joannamoncrieff.com/2022 paper in molecular psychiatry on Serotonin Chemically Imbalanced: The Making and Unmaking of the Serotonin Myth Dr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're sharing the relationship habits that have actually helped us (and YOU GUYS) stay connected as new parents — from daily 15-minute check-ins to remembering not to “talk through” your baby. We also talk about what it really means to support your partner through postpartum depression, and how we need to try going to bed at the same time (apparently this is a thing a lot of you guys do??). Before that, we dive into kindergarten cutoff dates (is it better to be old or young for your grade??), the great Diet Coke vs. Diet Pepsi debate, and our first ever MOVIE NIGHT REVIEW of Happy Gilmore 2. Plus, the new “fridge cigarettes” meme and a little closet clean-out convo (Harrison might need to watch the Marie Kondo show??). In Things We DMed Each Other, we're taking on the hotel industry (check-in at 4pm, check-out at 11am? Really??) and decoding Gen Z's newest phone greeting trend. WE LOVE YOU GUYS!
