437: Behind the Sessions: One Big Thing We Are Missing About Mother Instincts

Mom & Mind

One goal of this podcast is to shed light on aspects of our self-perception that have been in the shadows. Moms often feel shamed and judgmental about discussing their feelings, and they frequently believe they are alone in their experiences. Therapy can be very helpful for a parent who feels overwhelmed and overloaded, because talking about issues helps develop coping skills to navigate their imperfect lives as they allow the healing process to begin. The pressure to “know everything” in motherhood can weigh a new mother down, especially if their mother instincts aren't kicking in. There needs to be a greater understanding and compassion for mothers facing this challenge. Let's unpack this topic in today's episode. Show Highlights: Common socializations around motherhood and the mother instinct Pressures are NOT truths!  Events in our lives can greatly affect our mother instinct. Blanket generalizations about mother instincts are unfair. What we are leaving out is the mother's FULL experience as a human. We need a new approach. Let's take the pressure off new parents! What we can do to offer better support Resources: Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visit cdph.ca.gov Please find resources in English and Spanish at Postpartum Support International, or by phone/text at 1-800-944-4773. There are many free resources, like online support groups, peer mentors, a specialist provider directory, and perinatal mental health training for therapists, physicians, nurses, doulas, and anyone who wants to be more supportive in offering services.  You can also follow PSI on social media: Instagram, Facebook, and most other platforms Visit www.postpartum.net/professionals/certificate-trainings/ for information on the grief course.   Visit my website, www.wellmindperinatal.com, for more information, resources, and courses you can take today!

Today's guest tells her story of birth trauma, postpartum preeclampsia, and how therapy helped her to process her emotions. I'm thrilled to have Courtney here to share her story and how she is helping other moms. Join us! Courtney Costello is a licensed master's social worker with nearly 15 years of experience in the field. She worked predominantly with families and children before having her son in 2023, when she became personally and professionally passionate about maternal well-being and mental health. After going to therapy for her own postpartum challenges (birth trauma and PTSD), she was inspired to be more of a support for others in the perinatal period. Combining her education and lived experience, Courtney now works as a perinatal mental health counselor in Buffalo, NY. In addition, she runs an online maternal mental health training for other clinicians who are interested in learning more about supporting mothers. This year, Courtney is acting as a co-leader for Buffalo's local Climb through Postpartum Support International.  Show Highlights: Courtney's “normal” pregnancy and the labor/delivery that did NOT go according to plan Labor/delivery expectations vs. reality Feeling fear with a sense of not knowing what was happening Finally, a healthy baby—and a blizzard rolls in to complicate everything and add stress Uncertainty and conflicting restrictions about leaving the hospital with their newborn son Driving home, getting stuck in a white-out, and finally making it to her brother's house A story of fear and multiple kindnesses from others A few days postpartum: feeling “off” and seeing floaters in her vision A diagnosis of postpartum preeclampsia and a hospital stay, but not much of an explanation from the nurses Getting home and facing fear and anxiety about being separated from her family Finding help with therapy with a therapist who was the perfect fit Questioning her return to her job and finding where she fits best in working with the perinatal population Finding healing and deciding to have a second child, which previously felt impossible Resources: Connect with Courtney Costello: Website, Instagram, and Psychology Today  Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visit cdph.ca.gov Please find resources in English and Spanish at Postpartum Support International, or by phone/text at 1-800-944-4773.

Mom & Mind

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 11, 2025 47:15


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. Her purposeful and caring manner helps her patients recover and navigate these complex situations.  Dr. Babalola (Femi) Jinadu is a board-certified OB-GYN with over a decade of experience in women's health. He earned his medical degree from the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed his residency at Jersey City Medical Center. He currently practices medicine in northern New Jersey, specializing in comprehensive obstetric and gynecological care. He is affiliated with Holy Name Hospital in addition to the Hackensack Meridian Health and Atlantic Health networks. Dr. Jinadu has been featured on the Hot and Bothered Podcast, discussing the economic impact of women's health issues. He serves on the boards of the New Jersey Partnership for Maternal Health and Seleni, a nonprofit focused on maternal mental healthcare and clinician education. His dedication to patient care and medical education highlights his commitment to advancing women's health.  Show Highlights: Dr. Manzella's perspective on giving patients the bad news that becomes a “flashbulb moment” in their lives, based on how they are cared for Dr. Jinadu's perspective on delivering the very best news—and the very worst news Understanding that people connect with different doctors in different ways, especially when there has been a tragic loss Establishing trust and rapport with compassion and understanding A definite shift in medical care to emphasize the hospitality aspect of patient care, rather than simply delivering data and treatment options Mental health IS healthcare. The long-term effects of perinatal bad news and the loss of hopes and dreams Reaching out with humanity as a physician in pivotal moments Dr. Jinadu's thoughts about the impact of loss on a partner Dr. Manzella's work with couples in grief and loss A patient's perspective on how they wish to be treated in grief and loss The doctors' perspectives on patients using AI, Google, and social media for medical care Key takeaways from Dr. Manzella and Dr. Jinadu  Resources: Connect with Seleni, Seleni Instagram, Dr. Jinadu Instagram, Dr. Jinadu Creative Tyde, and Dr. Jinadu LinkedIn Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visit cdph.ca.gov Please find resources in English and Spanish at Postpartum Support International, or by phone/text at 1-800-944-4773.

Francesco Agnoli racconta la dissoluzione della Prima Repubblica Italiana nel 1992, suggerendo che l'indagine "Mani Pulite" e il processo "Tangentopoli", pur legittimi nella lotta alla corruzione, furono influenzati da potenze straniere, in particolare gli Stati Uniti. Viene ipotizzato che l'obiettivo fosse destabilizzare la vecchia classe dirigente (DC e PSI), non più necessaria dopo la caduta del comunismo, per favorire una nuova configurazione politica. L'analisi si concentra sulla presunta selettività dell'inchiesta, che avrebbe risparmiato l'ex Partito Comunista Italiano, e sul ruolo di figure chiave come il magistrato Antonio Di Pietro, i cui presunti legami con ambienti americani e il successivo ingresso in politica a sinistra sollevano interrogativi. Infine, Francesco racconta come l'improvviso arrivo di Silvio Berlusconi in politica, e la conseguente indagine a suo carico, abbia alterato i piani preesistenti, portando a una politica italiana caratterizzata da figure non elette come Ciampi, Monti e Draghi, segnando la fine della vera democrazia partitica.https://fedecultura.com/collections/francesco-agnoli

Join us as we attend the conference and speak with presenters, researchers at the event! Elly Molina is an intuitive development expert and educator who founded the Psi Kids Academy to nurture psychic abilities in children. We discuss this amazing program, the ways to help a child tap into their hidden potential, and how to get parents to understand the psychic powers that their children possess, Carl Anthony Mclelland is a former security professional, remote viewer, and founder of Vantage Point Remote Viewing. We discuss his instructional methods, which help emphasize personal intuition, creative flow, and a connection with the higher self, allowing the practitioner to freely explore impressions, images, sensations, or thoughts that emerge. We also discuss free-form remote viewing and how it encourages flexibility, adaptability, and a natural flow of information, helping practitioners trust their innate abilities and develop a deeper awareness of their consciousness. Suzanne Ross is an author, psychic intuitive, spiritual guide, and founder of S.A.C.R.E.D. Spiritual Academy. We discuss the world of Psi-abilities and how to begin to shift your consciousness to higher planes. In addition, we take some time to discuss the upcoming Sedona Ascension Retreat, a one-of-a-kind event bringing together researchers in the world of ancient civilizations, esoteric knowledge, and more.                                                                                                                                                                                        Jason King is the programs manager at the Monroe Institute, an organization that actively engages in research, partnering with scientists, doctors, and academics to explore the remarkable benefits of expanded states of consciousness. We discuss the amazing ways our brains work, the possibilities of broadening consciousness using brainwave frequencies, and the unique Monroe techniques of brainwave entrainment. Gary Kraftsow is the founder and director of the American Viniyoga Institute. We discuss the deep connection of yogic practices to true life transformations of the body and soul beyond the classes you take at the gym. How do the practices realign our energy to direct our lives in better ways, and how can we begin to tie into the true Universal power we hold inside of each of us? Nicola Farmer is the founder of ICU Academy, and developer of a method of teaching children to stimulate their extraordinary senses and skills. We discuss the methods used to help children hone their latent psychic abilities, as well as how to onboard parents to accepting the gifts that their children possess. Tom Matte is a holographic viewer. After a traumatic course of many years led Tom down an unhealthy path, the result was his being blessed with the ability to holographically see data about people, places, and things in the world around him through a gift he calls “Upsight Vision”. We discuss how this embued gift has changed his life and how his newfound mission is changing the we all see and feel the world around them and their place in it. Paul H Smith is a controlled remote viewer, former instructor for the famed Stargate remote viewing program and founder of Remote Viewing Instructional Services, INC. a company committed to the responsible promotion and commercialization of remote viewing. We discuss various methods used to teach the average person to become a remote viewer, as well as those that can help all remote viewers hone their skills. Amy Westmooreland is a manifestation instructor, certified master coach, and founder of Illuminating Joy. Amy's mission is to teach everybody that they hold the power to change their lives by shifting their worldview so they can better align themselves with their required manifestations. We talk about the real-world barriers many have to consent to the reality that they have the power to manifest what they need to better their lives, both for themselves and their families. From depression to anxiety, and even egocentric thinking, how can we learn to shed these character traits to better align ourselves with the Universe and the true blessings we are worthy of? Dalbus Jordan is an 8-year-old YouTube gamer and pianist who attended the inaugural year of the PsiGames with his family and spent time in the children's area learning how to use “Mind Sight” to see without using his eyes. We talk about his first experience trying to test his psychic abilities, and what he thought about the children he saw use their gifts of mind sight during the conference. Joseph Bankert is a former police detective who one day began to realize he was having precognitive moments and began his journey into investigating the world of psi-abilities. But when he was assigned a murder case that was proving to be problematic, he turned to finding Joe McMoneagle, who worked for the Monroe Institute. That was when he came to realize the true possibilities of a skilled remote viewer. We discuss how his journey to remote viewing and psi-abilities has changed his life and what he thinks the possibilities of using these gifts may be. Keith Click a humor behavior consultant and founder of APE mindset, Aware, Prepare, Execute, and a volunteer at the first annual PsiGames conference. We discuss how his APE principles help people become acutely aware of their mind-body connection and how they can learn to help relieve the symptomology of things like anxiety, depression, and more.

After a traumatic course of many years led Tom down an unhealthy path, the result was his being blessed with the ability to holographically see data about people, places, and things in the world around him through a gift he calls “Upsight Vision”. We discuss how this embued gift has changed his life and how his newfound mission is changing the we all see and feel the world around them and their place in it. Paul H Smith is a controlled remote viewer, former instructor for the famed Stargate remote viewing program and founder of Remote Viewing Instructional Services, INC. a company committed to the responsible promotion and commercialization of remote viewing. We discuss various methods used to teach the average person to become a remote viewer, as well as those that can help all remote viewers hone their skills. Amy Westmooreland is a manifestation instructor, certified master coach, and founder of Illuminating Joy. Amy's mission is to teach everybody that they hold the power to change their lives by shifting their worldview so they can better align themselves with their required manifestations. We talk about the real-world barriers many have to consent to the reality that they have the power to manifest what they need to better their lives, both for themselves and their families. From depression to anxiety, and even egocentric thinking, how can we learn to shed these character traits to better align ourselves with the Universe and the true blessings we are worthy of? Dalbus Jordan is an 8-year-old YouTube gamer and pianist who attended the inaugural year of the PsiGames with his family and spent time in the children's area learning how to use “Mind Sight” to see without using his eyes. We talk about his first experience trying to test his psychic abilities, and what he thought about the children he saw use their gifts of mind sight during the conference. Joseph Bankert is a former police detective who one day began to realize he was having precognitive moments and began his journey into investigating the world of psi-abilities. But when he was assigned a murder case that was proving to be problematic, he turned to finding Joe McMoneagle, who worked for the Monroe Institute. That was when he came to realize the true possibilities of a skilled remote viewer. We discuss how his journey to remote viewing and psi-abilities has changed his life and what he thinks the possibilities of using these gifts may be. Keith Click a humor behavior consultant and founder of APE mindset, Aware, Prepare, Execute, and a volunteer at the first annual PsiGames conference. We discuss how his APE principles help people become acutely aware of their mind-body connection and how they can learn to help relieve the symptomology of things like anxiety, depression, and more. We also discuss how these principles can be applied to training your body's sensing for remote viewing.

This deeply personal and emotional episode features Danielle, a cherished client of my coaching program. The conversation highlights her impressive growth through emotional healing, relationship transformation, and personal empowerment, especially after ending a toxic relationship. Danielle began coaching when she was in a manipulative and emotionally abusive relationship with a man who resented her financial success. Despite having wealth and a supportive family background, she struggled with self-worth, especially around romantic partners. Her patterns included "project men" – dating men she wanted to fix or help, often at the cost of her own needs, happiness, and boundaries. In this exquisitely vulnerable and honest conversation, we also discussed... -How she has truly healed through coaching with me and has begun to see how her childhood dynamics and subconscious beliefs were driving her relationship patterns. -Her new, conscious relationship. She is now in a healthier, emotionally aware relationship with someone from her past who has also begun personal growth work. -The Power of emotional integration and how deep emotional wounds from over a decade ago were still affecting her behavior until addressed in the PSI Immersions with Allana. -How integrating trauma stored in her body helped her shift from people-pleasing and silence to assertiveness and self-respect. -Her ability to feel emotions fully – joy, grief, and everything in between – is now something she values. -Danielle is a rock star. Her story is one of courage, deep inner work and the transformation to be expected when you do the deep PSI work. -Through Allana's coaching and her own determination, she reclaimed her voice, healed past trauma, and now lives with more integrity, self-love, and joy. ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content!   Schedule your Intimacy Breakthrough Experience with me today https://allanapratt.com/connect Scholarship Code: READYNOW ________________________________________________________ ❤️ Finding the One is Bullsh*t.

Today's guest is sharing her story as a survivor of postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and birth trauma caused by random placental abruption. She is also a NICU mama who learned to balance parenting with the start of her psychotherapy practice to bring therapy to a rural area. Her story has multi-faceted, beautiful parts, and we are honored to have her here. Beth Partain is a licensed clinical social worker and the mother of three beautiful children. She founded Flourish Counseling and Consulting in 2020 to empower women and bring specialized perinatal expertise to an area where it was previously inaccessible. Her passion stemmed from her experience with the local hospital as she struggled through PPD, PPA, and birth/NICU trauma. Beth is the first mental health provider in Owensboro, KY, and the western Kentucky area to have a perinatal mental health certification. She serves on the new Maternal Health Council at her hospital and is a Blue Dot Ambassador, working in advocacy with the Maternal Mental Health Leadership Alliance. She has led two PSI Climbs in Owensboro. Beth works hard to help train local healthcare workers and therapists to identify PMADs from a trauma-informed care focus.  Show Highlights: Beth's story: Her first pregnancy was normal until a random placental abruption at 34 weeks forced an emergency C-section, a three-week NICU stay, and almost zero mental health support. Placental abruption: what it is, how it is detected, and the results Beth's shock and surprise at how quickly things changed and progressed to an unexpected birth, and navigating a NICU stay for her baby Looking back at the mental health struggles for Beth and her husband, with no support Beth's realization that she had postpartum depression and anxiety, but did not have access to help Finding help and starting therapy (as a therapist) Making the difficult decision to have another child and grow their family further Beth's commitment to bringing perinatal care to her rural area and training more providers in the care that she wished she could have had Making connections and partnering with PSI Great strides of progress and encouraging outcomes in changing the PNMH climate in Beth's area of Kentucky Resources: Flourish Counseling and Consulting Connect with Beth Partain: Facebook Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visit cdph.ca.gov Please find resources in English and Spanish at Postpartum Support International, or by phone/text at 1-800-944-4773.

Today's episode explores a crucial topic that warrants our attention. We are discussing the after-effects of postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and perinatal mental health conditions. The lingering sense of guilt, sadness, regret, grief, anger, and frustration comes as a result of feeling that you weren't present during the postpartum time. How much time does it take to “make up” for that time that you felt disconnected and anything but joyful about motherhood? Do you feel that you missed important milestones in your baby's life? All of these are important questions that many mothers wrestle with in a constant mental battle. Let's take a closer look. Show Highlights: Where does the unreasonable pressure come from? Are you punishing yourself? The truth: You WERE there in all the ways you could manage at the time. You do acts of love and caring, even if you don't feel like doing them. What you need now is what you needed then: compassion, support, and loving thoughts. Self-compassion brings gentleness into the picture. Healing needs to happen (and that means allowing yourself to grieve). Dr. Kat leads a healing exercise to try on your own. (Try it!) Your healing is valid and worthwhile, even if you can't see it yourself.

We are hearing Alyssa's story in today's episode. She shares her experience with postpartum anxiety, depression, and OCD, as well as her lifelong battle for mental health. We've discussed many times on the podcast that a history of mental health issues is a significant risk factor for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Because Alyssa did not get the help she needed when she needed it most, she has become a passionate advocate and supporter of other moms and families facing these issues.  Alyssa Verge is a 31-year-old mom of a two-year-old and the stepmom of an eight-year-old. After her child was born, she was diagnosed with postpartum depression and anxiety and eventually with postpartum OCD. She's passionate about mental health and healing generational trauma.  Show Highlights: The birth story of Alyssa's son, when she felt the “baby blues” immediately after his birth Being told everything she was feeling was “normal,” even though she was sincere and open about her experience Alyssa's husband finally found a therapist for her because he knew this couldn't be normal. Alyssa's relief when she found out her feelings weren't normal, and she was diagnosed with postpartum depression and anxiety The prevalence of OCD, which wasn't identified for several months Unnatural fears about leaving the house and getting sick OCD was manifested in her body's refusal to take medication, even though it was what she wanted to do to get better.

Comparisons between matrescence and adolescence (both transitions are processes that take time) Jessie's model of matrescence: The Four Elements of Radical Transformation: Earth – Orient yourself to what's true, and name the change. Water – (Think tears.) Grief over the self you were before this transformation is a normal part of transitioning to motherhood. Air – The liminal space of the “in-between” when you haven't fully integrated into the identity of being a mother. Fire – An igniting of the ember within you as you integrate into the identity of motherhood. This motherhood transition is an opportunity to let go of other things that aren't serving us well. Systemic factors that force women into “losing themselves in motherhood” The challenges we face in motherhood are part of the development into matrescence, but we still need the tools and resources to navigate them. “The Mother Powers”- the things that help us get through matrescence Matrescence is a beautiful process.

The end of the school year and the transition to summer bring different types of mental load for parents. There is a shift in schedule, priorities, and what you're thinking about each day, and there can be more to manage, especially for the default parent who usually takes care of everything. It's a different type of stress, but it is stress nonetheless. There can be a wide variance in the load you carry, depending on your partner and other supports you have in place. We must acknowledge that the mental load is an invisible load yet a significant burden; it's a labor of thinking, remembering, organizing, and planning that keeps the family and household running smoothly. It can all be overwhelming! Join me in today's episode for a closer look. Show Highlights: The constant hum in your mind of all that needs to be done The potential for contention between parents in remembering ALL the details (along with anxiety, depression, and disconnection) Remember that two things can be true at the same time! Partnership is essential in co-parenting and co-managing the household. Examples of how a partner can step in to help in meaningful ways: taking over specific tasks, being emotionally present, and having a weekly time for an honest check-in with each other Advice to moms and dads for communicating and validating each other Setting boundaries, saying NO, letting go of some tasks, and asking for help The importance of finding community, connection, and support groups Key takeaways from Dr. Kat: “Acknowledge your feelings, state them aloud, and share them.

Dr. Paul Hanona and Dr. Arturo Loaiza-Bonilla discuss how to safely and smartly integrate AI into the clinical workflow and tap its potential to improve patient-centered care, drug development, and access to clinical trials. TRANSCRIPT Dr. Paul Hanona: Hello, I'm Dr. Paul Hanona, your guest host of the ASCO Daily News Podcast today. I am a medical oncologist as well as a content creator @DoctorDiscover, and I'm delighted to be joined today by Dr. Arturo Loaiza-Bonilla, the chief of hematology and oncology at St. Luke's University Health Network. Dr. Bonilla is also the co-founder and chief medical officer at Massive Bio, an AI-driven platform that matches patients with clinical trials and novel therapies. Dr. Loaiza-Bonilla will share his unique perspective on the potential of artificial intelligence to advance precision oncology, especially through clinical trials and research, and other key advancements in AI that are transforming the oncology field. Our full disclosures are available in the transcript of the episode. Dr. Bonilla, it's great to be speaking with you today. Thanks for being here. Dr. Arturo Loaiza-Bonilla: Oh, thank you so much, Dr. Hanona. Paul, it's always great to have a conversation. Looking forward to a great one today. Dr. Paul Hanona: Absolutely. Let's just jump right into it. Let's talk about the way that we see AI being embedded in our clinical workflow as oncologists. What are some practical ways to use AI? Dr. Arturo Loaiza-Bonilla: To me, responsible AI integration in oncology is one of those that's focused on one principle to me, which is clinical purpose is first, instead of the algorithm or whatever technology we're going to be using. If we look at the best models in the world, they're really irrelevant unless we really solve a real day-to-day challenge, either when we're talking to patients in the clinic or in the infusion chair or making decision support. Currently, what I'm doing the most is focusing on solutions that are saving us time to be more productive and spend more time with our patients. So, for example, we're using ambient AI for appropriate documentation in real time with our patients. We're leveraging certain tools to assess for potential admission or readmission of patients who have certain conditions as well. And it's all about combining the listening of physicians like ourselves who are end users, those who create those algorithms, data scientists, and patient advocates, and even regulators, before they even write any single line of code. I felt that on my own, you know, entrepreneurial aspects, but I think it's an ethos that we should all follow. And I think that AI shouldn't be just bolted on later. We always have to look at workflows and try to look, for example, at clinical trial matching, which is something I'm very passionate about. We need to make sure that first, it's easier to access for patients, that oncologists like myself can go into the interface and be able to pull the data in real time when you really need it, and you don't get all this fatigue alerts. To me, that's the responsible way of doing so. Those are like the opportunities, right? So, the challenge is how we can make this happen in a meaningful way – we're just not reacting to like a black box suggestion or something that we have no idea why it came up to be. So, in terms of success – and I can tell you probably two stories of things that we know we're seeing successful – we all work closely with radiation oncologists, right? So, there are now these tools, for example, of automated contouring in radiation oncology, and some of these solutions were brought up in different meetings, including the last ASCO meeting. But overall, we know that transformer-based segmentation tools; transformer is just the specific architecture of the machine learning algorithm that has been able to dramatically reduce the time for colleagues to spend allotting targets for radiation oncology. So, comparing the target versus the normal tissue, which sometimes it takes many hours, now we can optimize things over 60%, sometimes even in minutes. So, this is not just responsible, but it's also an efficiency win, it's a precision win, and we're using it to adapt even mid-course in response to tumor shrinkage. Another success that I think is relevant is, for example, on the clinical trial matching side. We've been working on that and, you know, I don't want to preach to the choir here, but having the ability for us to structure data in real time using these tools, being able to extract information on biomarkers, and then show that multi-agentic AI is superior to what we call zero-shot or just throwing it into ChatGPT or any other algorithm, but using the same tools but just fine-tuned to the point that we can be very efficient and actually reliable to the level of almost like a research coordinator, is not just theory. Now, it can change lives because we can get patients enrolled in clinical trials and be activated in different places wherever the patient may be. I know it's like a long answer on that, but, you know, as we talk about responsible AI, that's important. And in terms of what keeps me up at night on this: data drift and biases, right? So, imaging protocols, all these things change, the lab switch between different vendors, or a patient has issues with new emerging data points. And health systems serve vastly different populations. So, if our models are trained in one context and deployed in another, then the output can be really inaccurate. So, the idea is to become a collaborative approach where we can use federated learning and patient-centricity so we can be much more efficient in developing those models that account for all the populations, and any retraining that is used based on data can be diverse enough that it represents all of us and we can be treated in a very good, appropriate way. So, if a clinician doesn't understand why a recommendation is made, as you probably know, you probably don't trust it, and we shouldn't expect them to. So, I think this is the next wave of the future. We need to make sure that we account for all those things. Dr. Paul Hanona: Absolutely. And even the part about the clinical trials, I want to dive a little bit more into in a few questions. I just kind of wanted to make a quick comment. Like you said, some of the prevalent things that I see are the ambient scribes. It seems like that's really taken off in the last year, and it seems like it's improving at a pretty dramatic speed as well. I wonder how quickly that'll get adopted by the majority of physicians or practitioners in general throughout the country. And you also mentioned things with AI tools regarding helping regulators move things quicker, even the radiation oncologist, helping them in their workflow with contouring and what else they might have to do. And again, the clinical trials thing will be quite interesting to get into. The first question I had subsequent to that is just more so when you have large datasets. And this pertains to two things: the paper that you published recently regarding different ways to use AI in the space of oncology referred to drug development, the way that we look at how we design drugs, specifically anticancer drugs, is pretty cumbersome. The steps that you have to take to design something, to make sure that one chemical will fit into the right chemical or the structure of the molecule, that takes a lot of time to tinker with. What are your thoughts on AI tools to help accelerate drug development? Dr. Arturo Loaiza-Bonilla: Yes, that's the Holy Grail and something that I feel we should dedicate as much time and effort as possible because it relies on multimodality. It cannot be solved by just looking at patient histories. It cannot be solved by just looking at the tissue alone. It's combining all these different datasets and being able to understand the microenvironment, the patient condition and prior treatments, and how dynamic changes that we do through interventions and also exposome – the things that happen outside of the patient's own control – can be leveraged to determine like what's the best next step in terms of drugs. So, the ones that we heard the news the most is, for example, the Nobel Prize-winning [for Chemistry awarded to Demis Hassabis and John Jumper for] AlphaFold, an AI system that predicts protein structures right? So, we solved this very interesting concept of protein folding where, in the past, it would take the history of the known universe, basically – what's called the Levinthal's paradox – to be able to just predict on amino acid structure alone or the sequence alone, the way that three-dimensionally the proteins will fold. So, with that problem being solved and the Nobel Prize being won, the next step is, “Okay, now we know how this protein is there and just by sequence, how can we really understand any new drug that can be used as a candidate and leverage all the data that has been done for many years of testing against a specific protein or a specific gene or knockouts and what not?” So, this is the future of oncology and where we're probably seeing a lot of investments on that. The key challenge here is mostly working on the side of not just looking at pathology, but leveraging this digital pathology with whole slide imaging and identifying the microenvironment of that specific tissue. There's a number of efforts currently being done. One isn't just H&E, like hematoxylin and eosin, slides alone, but with whole imaging, now we can use expression profiles, spatial transcriptomics, and gene whole exome sequencing in the same space and use this transformer technology in a multimodality approach that we know already the slide or the pathology, but can we use that to understand, like, if I knock out this gene, how is the microenvironment going to change to see if an immunotherapy may work better, right? If we can make a microenvironment more reactive towards a cytotoxic T cell profile, for example. So, that is the way where we're really seeing the field moving forward, using multimodality for drug discovery. So, the FDA now seems to be very eager to support those initiatives, so that's of course welcome. And now the key thing is the investment to do this in a meaningful way so we can see those candidates that we're seeing from different companies now being leveraged for rare disease, for things that are going to be almost impossible to collect enough data, and make it efficient by using these algorithms that sometimes, just with multiple masking – basically, what they do is they mask all the features and force the algorithm to find solutions based on the specific inputs or prompts we're doing. So, I'm very excited about that, and I think we're going to be seeing that in the future. Dr. Paul Hanona: So, essentially, in a nutshell, we're saying we have the cancer, which is maybe a dandelion in a field of grass, and we want to see the grass that's surrounding the dandelion, which is the pathology slides. The problem is, to the human eye, it's almost impossible to look at every single piece of grass that's surrounding the dandelion. And so, with tools like AI, we can greatly accelerate our study of the microenvironment or the grass that's surrounding the dandelion and better tailor therapy, come up with therapy. Otherwise, like you said, to truly generate a drug, this would take years and years. We just don't have the throughput to get to answers like that unless we have something like AI to help us. Dr. Arturo Loaiza-Bonilla: Correct. Dr. Paul Hanona: And then, clinical trials. Now, this is an interesting conversation because if you ever look up our national guidelines as oncologists, there's always a mention of, if treatment fails, consider clinical trials. Or in the really aggressive cancers, sometimes you might just start out with clinical trials. You don't even give the standard first-line therapy because of how ineffective it is. There are a few issues with clinical trials that people might not be aware of, but the fact that the majority of patients who should be on clinical trials are never given the chance to be on clinical trials, whether that's because of proximity, right, they might live somewhere that's far from the institution, or for whatever reason, they don't qualify for the clinical trial, they don't meet the strict inclusion criteria.  But a reason you mentioned early on is that it's simply impossible for someone to be aware of every single clinical trial that's out there. And then even if you are aware of those clinical trials, to actually find the sites and put in the time could take hours. And so, how is AI going to revolutionize that? Because in my mind, it's not that we're inventing a new tool. Clinical trials have always been available. We just can't access them. So, if we have a tool that helps with access, wouldn't that be huge? Dr. Arturo Loaiza-Bonilla: Correct. And that has been one of my passions. And for those who know me and follow me and we've spoke about it in different settings, that's something that I think we can solve. This other paradox, which is the clinical trial enrollment paradox, right? We have tens of thousands of clinical trials available with millions of patients eager to learn about trials, but we don't enroll enough and many trials close to accrual because of lack of enrollment. It is completely paradoxical and it's because of that misalignment because patients don't know where to go for trials and sites don't know what patients they can help because they haven't reached their doors yet. So, the solution has to be patient-centric, right? We have to put the patient at the center of the equation. And that was precisely what we had been discussing during the ASCO meeting. There was an ASCO Education Session where we talked about digital prescreening hubs, where we, in a patient-centric manner, the same way we look for Uber, Instacart, any solution that you may think of that you want something that can be leveraged in real time, we can use these real-world data streams from the patient directly, from hospitals, from pathology labs, from genomics companies, to continuously screen patients who can match to the inclusion/exclusion criteria of unique trials. So, when the patient walks into the clinic, the system already knows if there's a trial and alerts the site proactively. The patient can actually also do decentralization. So, there's a number of decentralized clinical trial solutions that are using what I call the “click and mortar” approach, which is basically the patient is checking digitally and then goes to the site to activate. We can also have the click and mortar in the bidirectional way where the patient is engaged in person and then you give the solution like the ones that are being offered on things that we're doing at Massive Bio and beyond, which is having the patient to access all that information and then they make decisions and enroll when the time is right.  As I mentioned earlier, there is this concept drift where clinical trials open and close, the patient line of therapy changes, new approvals come in and out, and sites may not be available at a given time but may be later. So, having that real-time alerts using tools that are able already to extract data from summarization that we already have in different settings and doing this natural language ingestion, we can not only solve this issue with manual chart review, which is extremely cumbersome and takes forever and takes to a lot of one-time assessments with very high screen failures, to a real-time dynamic approach where the patient, as they get closer to that eligibility criteria, they get engaged. And those tools can be built to activate trials, audit trials, and make them better and accessible to patients. And something that we know is, for example, 91%-plus of Americans live close to either a pharmacy or an imaging center. So, imagine that we can potentially activate certain of those trials in those locations. So, there's a number of pharmacies, special pharmacies, Walgreens, and sometimes CVS trying to do some of those efforts. So, I think the sky's the limit in terms of us working together. And we've been talking with corporate groups, they're all interested in those efforts as well, to getting patients digitally enabled and then activate the same way we activate the NCTN network of the corporate groups, that are almost just-in-time. You can activate a trial the patient is eligible for and we get all these breakthroughs from the NIH and NCI, just activate it in my site within a week or so, as long as we have the understanding of the protocol. So, using clinical trial matching in a digitally enabled way and then activate in that same fashion, but not only for NCTN studies, but all the studies that we have available will be the key of the future through those prescreening hubs. So, I think now we're at this very important time where collaboration is the important part and having this silo-breaking approach with interoperability where we can leverage data from any data source and from any electronic medical records and whatnot is going to be essential for us to move forward because now we have the tools to do so with our phones, with our interests, and with the multiple clinical trials that are coming into the pipelines. Dr. Paul Hanona: I just want to point out that the way you described the process involves several variables that practitioners often don't think about. We don't realize the 15 steps that are happening in the background. But just as a clarifier, how much time is it taking now to get one patient enrolled on a clinical trial? Is it on the order of maybe 5 to 10 hours for one patient by the time the manual chart review happens, by the time the matching happens, the calls go out, the sign-up, all this? And how much time do you think a tool that could match those trials quicker and get you enrolled quicker could save? Would it be maybe an hour instead of 15 hours? What's your thought process on that? Dr. Arturo Loaiza-Bonilla: Yeah, exactly. So one is the matching, the other one is the enrollment, which, as you mentioned, is very important. So, it can take, from, as you said, probably between 4 days to sometimes 30 days. Sometimes that's how long it takes for all the things to be parsed out in terms of logistics and things that could be done now agentically. So, we can use agents to solve those different steps that may take multiple individuals. We can just do it as a supply chain approach where all those different steps can be done by a single agent in a simultaneous fashion and then we can get things much faster. With an AI-based solution using these frontier models and multi-agentic AI – and we presented some of this data in ASCO as well – you can do 5,000 patients in an hour, right? So, just enrolling is going to be between an hour and maximum enrollment, it could be 7 days for those 5,000 patients if it was done at scale in a multi-level approach where we have all the trials available. Dr. Paul Hanona: No, definitely a very exciting aspect of our future as oncologists. It's one thing to have really neat, novel mechanisms of treatment, but what good is it if we can't actually get it to people who need it? I'm very much looking for the future of that.  One of the last questions I want to ask you is another prevalent way that people use AI is just simply looking up questions, right? So, traditionally, the workflow for oncologists is maybe going on national guidelines and looking up the stage of the cancer and seeing what treatments are available and then referencing the papers and looking at who was included, who wasn't included, the side effects to be aware of, and sort of coming up with a decision as to how to treat a cancer patient. But now, just in the last few years, we've had several tools become available that make getting questions easier, make getting answers easier, whether that's something like OpenAI's tools or Perplexity or Doximity or OpenEvidence or even ASCO has a Guidelines Assistant as well that is drawing from their own guidelines as to how to treat different cancers. Do you see these replacing traditional sources? Do you see them saving us a lot more time so that we can be more productive in clinic? What do you think is the role that they're going to play with patient care? Dr. Arturo Loaiza-Bonilla: Such a relevant question, particularly at this time, because these AI-enabled query tools, they're coming left and right and becoming increasingly common in our daily workflows and things that we're doing. So, traditionally, when we go and we look for national guidelines, we try to understand the context ourselves and then we make treatment decisions accordingly. But that is a lot of a process that now AI is helping us to solve. So, at face value, it seems like an efficiency win, but in many cases, I personally evaluate platforms as the chief of hem/onc at St. Luke's and also having led the digital engagement things through Massive Bio and trying to put things together, I can tell you this: not all tools are created equal. In cancer care, each data point can mean the difference between cure and progression, so we cannot really take a lot of shortcuts in this case or have unverified output. So, the tools are helpful, but it has to be grounded in truth, in trusted data sources, and they need to be continuously updated with, like, ASCO and NCCN and others. So, the reason why the ASCO Guidelines Assistant, for instance, works is because it builds on all these recommendations, is assessed by end users like ourselves. So, that kind of verification is critical, right? We're entering a phase where even the source material may be AI-generated. So, the role of human expert validation is really actually more important, not less important. You know, generalist LLMs, even when fine-tuned, they may not be enough. You can pull a few API calls from PubMed, etc., but what we need now is specialized, context-aware, agentic tools that can interpret multimodal and real-time clinical inputs. So, something that we are continuing to check on and very relevant to have entities and bodies like ASCO looking into this so they can help us to be really efficient and really help our patients. Dr. Paul Hanona: Dr. Bonilla, what do you want to leave the listener with in terms of the future direction of AI, things that we should be cautious about, and things that we should be optimistic about? Dr. Arturo Loaiza-Bonilla: Looking 5 years ahead, I think there's enormous promise. As you know, I'm an AI enthusiast, but always, there's a few priorities that I think – 3 of them, I think – we need to tackle head-on. First is algorithmic equity. So, most AI tools today are trained on data from academic medical centers but not necessarily from community practices or underrepresented populations, particularly when you're looking at radiology, pathology, and what not. So, those blind spots, they need to be filled, and we can eliminate a lot of disparities in cancer care. So, those frameworks to incentivize while keeping the data sharing using federated models and things that we can optimize is key. The second one is the governance on the lifecycle. So, you know, AI is not really static. So, unlike a drug that is approved and it just, you know, works always, AI changes. So, we need to make sure that we have tools that are able to retrain and recall when things degrade or models drift. So, we need to use up-to-date AI for clinical practice, so we are going to be in constant revalidation and make it really easy to do. And lastly, the human-AI interface. You know, clinicians don't need more noise or we don't need more black boxes. We need decision support that is clear, that we can interpret, and that is actionable. “Why are you using this? Why did we choose this drug? Why this dose? Why now?” So, all these things are going to help us and that allows us to trace evidence with a single click. So, I always call it back to the Moravec's paradox where we say, you know, evolution gave us so much energy to discern in the sensory-neural and dexterity. That's what we're going to be taking care of patients. We can use AI to really be a force to help us to be better clinicians and not to really replace us. So, if we get this right and we decide for transparency with trust, inclusion, etc., it will never replace any of our work, which is so important, as much as we want, we can actually take care of patients and be personalized, timely, and equitable. So, all those things are what get me excited every single day about these conversations on AI. Dr. Paul Hanona: All great thoughts, Dr. Bonilla. I'm very excited to see how this field evolves. I'm excited to see how oncologists really come to this field. I think with technology, there's always a bit of a lag in adopting it, but I think if we jump on board and grow with it, we can do amazing things for the field of oncology in general. Thank you for the advancements that you've made in your own career in the field of AI and oncology and just ultimately with the hopeful outcomes of improving patient care, especially cancer patients.

Have you felt the pressure to be a “supermom”? We are examining the supermom fallacy, which often accompanies thoughts like, “I'm a failure, I can't keep up with this, and I'm a bad mom.” The problem with trying to be a supermom is the impact on mental health. This theme commonly comes up in therapy, and the idea that we have to do everything and do it well is too much pressure! Join us as we explore this topic, which will resonate with many people. Stacy McCann is a licensed mental health therapist and the owner of Present Moment Counseling Services, specializing in motherhood, postpartum, and beyond. She works with mothers to help them cope with the challenges of motherhood, including burnout, overwhelm, overstimulation, self-advocacy, and an equitable mental and physical load at home. Stacy launched the Supermom Dropout Club, a virtual community for moms who want to take up space, use their voice, and leave their supermom capes behind. She is the mom of a sweet and spicy 5-year-old and lives in the St. Louis area, where she enjoys gardening, cooking, and traveling.  Show Highlights: Stacy's path through social work, parent education, and her motherhood specialty today Common characteristics of maternal burnout: overwhelm, loss of identity, feeling invisible, and giving everything they have to others Trying to live up to the “ideal motherhood experience” is impossible! Solutions for moms: Prioritize your own needs and use the right words to talk about it Dealing with the workload at home from a logistics standpoint (How to handle this task with your partner through open communication about standards of care) We still need a shift to support working parents and postpartum mothers. Thoughts on men's roles in the home, offering emotional support, and bonding more with their babies in the postpartum period  The need for help in shifting societal expectations about what makes a good dad: What does it mean to lead and support your family?

Today's guest shares her story of postpartum psychosis, including the contributing factors, navigating the healthcare system, the overall lack of understanding of PMADs, and the preventative actions she took for her second pregnancy. She shares how her experience propelled her to take considerable steps to help and support others. Nancy Di Nuzzo, a mother of two, is an accountant-turned-postpartum doula. She is the founder of Anamav Postnatal Care, an agency providing comprehensive postpartum care in the Greater Toronto area. Their services include doula support, lactation support, psychotherapy, and sleep coaching. Nancy was inspired to create Anamav after her own traumatic postpartum experiences. As a perinatal mental health advocate, she is fiercely determined to support new parents and families to help fill the gaps in our healthcare system.  Show Highlights: Nancy's first pregnancy experience with her daughter, born in 2020: In summary, sleep deprivation led to the first postpartum psychotic episode and subsequent hospitalization. The labor and delivery and the first five days postpartum, when everything changed for Nancy Feeling the intensity of hyperdrive and an overwhelming need for perfection Hallucinations (not threatening or violent) and a break from reality that prompted a call to 911 A shocking twist: The ER records showed suspected postpartum psychosis, but they still discharged Nancy and prescribed sleeping pills; she ended up back there three days later. Cultural stigma and family interference that did not help Nancy Nancy's misdiagnosis from the psychiatrist: A bipolar disorder that required lifelong medication The first night in the hospital and the traumatic events that still haunt Nancy's memories Reconnecting with her daughter after a week-long stay in the hospital Preparing for a second pregnancy with preventative measures–and finding a very different birth and postpartum experience in 2023 Nancy's perspective on what SHOULD have happened during her first pregnancy and how we can do better in the area of awareness The facts: Every postpartum journey is different; problems can happen with a first, second, or third pregnancy—or with none at all.  Anamav Postnatal and how they work to help others Resources: Connect with Nancy Di Nuzzo and Anamav Postnatal: Website and Instagram Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visit cdph.ca.gov Please find resources in English and Spanish at Postpartum Support International, or by phone or text at 1-800-944-4773.

Today's episode focuses on a recent article in JAMA Internal Medicine regarding maternal mental health in the United States. I'll explain and summarize the study and results, and discuss the most appropriate next steps. Since I'm presenting the information in summary form, please read the article for yourself by clicking the link in the Resources section for this episode.  Show Highlights: The findings of this study are sobering and validating. Scope and value of research findings like this to “fill the gap” in maternal mental health The details of the study subjects: 198,000+ US mothers from 2016-2023 who self-reported their physical and mental health The key findings: The percentage of mothers reporting a rating of “excellent” mental health dropped dramatically during the time frame, the percentage reporting “fair” or “poor” mental health increased, and the trend of declining maternal mental health crosses through all socio-economic groups. The key factors contributing to maternal mental health conditions  Results of the study show that we need more investment into the underlying causes of mental health decline, especially for lower socio-economic status moms. Moms are suffering under the weight of silence, stigma, shame, and societal expectations. Studies like this one are vital to break down barriers to care and support. Learning to identify your needs, choose rest when needed, and prioritize self-compassion What we can do to help: offer screenings at multiple points, effect policy change, and find positive ways to support the entire family system.

424: The Impacts of “Mom Shame” on Mental Health with Allie Barker, LCSW

Mom & Mind

In this important episode, we explore mom shame, the difference between guilt and shame, and common triggers for guilt. One of the biggest contributors to mom shame is societal pressure, so we want to shed light on navigating this issue and breaking the cycle of shame. My expert guest for this topic is Allie Barker, LCSW. Allie is excited to bring her insight to today's conversation about dismantling the overwhelming experience of mom shame. Join us to learn more! Allie Barker is a licensed clinical social worker specializing in perinatal mental health. She has been in private practice since 2020 and has been clinically practicing since 2018. After experiencing a difficult pregnancy during the pandemic and navigating postpartum anxiety, depression, and OCD, she realized how common, yet isolating, these struggles are. This led her to shift her entire clinical focus to supporting individuals through fertility challenges, pregnancy, and postpartum transitions. As a therapist, Allie is passionate about helping parents navigate the mental and emotional challenges that come with new parenthood, from facing unrealistic societal expectations to combating the deep-rooted shame that prevents someone from finding joy in the small moments. She brings professional expertise and personal understanding to these conversations, creating a compassionate and judgment-free space for parents. Outside of work, Allie is a mom with a four-year-old daughter, a wife, and an animal mom to several dogs, ducks, and pigs.  Show Highlights: Understanding mom shame and the myth of mom guilt The effects of societal expectations on moms around everyday occurrences in parenthood Support for parents begins with awareness, identifying your values, and setting realistic goals The best way to dismantle mom shame is to have relevant conversations with your partner during pregnancy. It's okay when your values don't match up with those of books, experts, and social media. The impacts on your mental health when you feel like a failure all the time Guard against lofty motherhood goals that set you up for failure! Every mom feels like “the only one,” and shame breeds isolation. Scary thoughts, fears, and OCD (Name it and say it out loud to safe, supportive people!) Allie's work to support parents with compassion and self-compassion A parent who admits mistakes and apologizes gives their child space to make mistakes and apologize for them. (It's an opportunity to teach compassion.) Being vulnerable and listening to vulnerability can help break the cycle.
