Lightbulb Moment: Business Breakthroughs and Personal Discoveries with Becky Mollenkamp
Parijat Deshpande wanted to be an OB/GYN when she grew up. After discovering she didn’t have an aptitude for chemistry, she set her sights on clinical psychology. She focused her work on child and family therapy and founded a South Asian mental health non-profit to better serve her community. Before she even knew she was pregnant, Parijat developed her first pregnancy complication. At six weeks, she went on bedrest. She went on to develop seven more complications before delivering her son at 24 weeks and 2 days. As a therapist, she knew how to handle anxiety—but as a patient, it wasn’t what she needed. She became frustrated with the constant litany of “there’s nothing you can do,” when she knew that just wasn’t true. In this episode, Parijat shares how the most difficult time of her life served as the impetus for starting a completely new professional endeavor. She’s now the leading high-risk pregnancy expert and author of author of the book, “Pregnancy Brain.” More in this episode: Comparisons of high-risk pregnancy to business How the doctors’ chorus of “just wait and see” led Parijat to develop her own action steps, and what those steps were The promise Parijat made her son before he was born How her current business took shape through the lockdown she and her son were on for the first few years of his life The one overriding question she asked while building her business Why it doesn’t matter what’s going on in women’s heads during high-risk pregnancy Parijat’s favorite business resource Parijat Deshpande guides women with high-risk pregnancies to manage their stress and anxiety to help themselves stay pregnant as long as possible, even if they have complications, so they can give their baby a strong start to life. Parijat is the host of Delivering Miracles®, a podcast that discusses the real, raw side of family building including infertility, high-risk pregnancy, bed rest, prematurity and healing once baby comes home.

This week is a little different from the normal show. First up, I field a few listener questions about finding out you may have herpes and hepatitis C after a partner cheated and how to become a sex educator. NRE isn't only for relationships - we can also get high on our dreams and take huge risks when we're caught up in the excitement and desire. Then, the tables are flipped and I get interviewed by Parijat Deshpande about navigating sex and connection when you have a physical situation like a high-risk pregnancy where intercourse is off the table for a period of time. It's a fun chat that has lots of great information that can apply to chronic illness or post-surgery situations, even though we're specifically talking about pregnancy. I offer lots of script examples to help having difficult conversations, so grab a notepad and jot down some notes on how to have those conversations. Follow Sex Gets Real on Twitter and Facebook. It's true. Oh! And Dawn is on Instagram.
