In this episode of From First Period To Last Period, Kristyn sits down with Ashley Rodrigues, a Postpartum, Women's Health, and Sex Therapy Licensed Psychotherapist, about some of the many factors that can affect a person's mental health during the postpartum period — from birth trauma to PMDD to low sex drive.

This episode unpacks the book Psychopath Free by Jackson MacKenzie. You can grab a copy HERE. This seemed like the perfect content as follow up to World Narcissistic Abuse Awareness Day on June 1st. Ginny shares some of the key components from this book, including the red flags of being in a relationship with a psychopath, narcissist or sociopath. The author includes a comprehensive list of 30 in the book! Some other key highlights are pulling out some terminology that's used by the author that we haven't covered here before, such as having a constant, cognitive dissonance, word salad, flying monkeys and the crazy ex! What's great about this book is that it focuses a lot on becoming whole again through trauma recovery and healing after encountering these dangerous personalities. While it may be tempting to reach out to the new supply, think about putting yourself in the idealization phase and thinking you've met the love of our life, would you be receptive to believing it? Keep in mind, there's no timeline for grief or recovering from this type of abuse. The author also highlights the 30 signs of strength. A few of these are having compassion, taking accountability, apologizing, and being forgiving. Part of the healing process includes cognitive defusion. This means acknowledging your emotions and not dismissing the difficulties in life. This allows you to choose to move towards living more consistently in joy, peace and enlightenment.

When we last talked to Kristyn, in January 2020, she shared how "nothing on the road to motherhood was easy" for her, from the "Clomid crazies" to her first failed frozen embryo transfer. At the time, her IVF twins were toddlers. Today, her twins are five years old, and Kristyn fills us in on what's happened since our last podcast episode, including two more years of fertility treatments. "In total, I did five embryo transfers over two years," she says. "Two losses and three that didn't implant at all. I just can't believe I'm here. I was so sure two years ago that we were gonna have three kids. Now I'm in this limbo period where I don't know what to do next." In addition to her family building journey, Kristyn shares how she pivoted from founding The Fertility Tribe to co-founding Rescripted, which covers women's health and wellness from first period to last period.

In this week's episode of the Money Boss Parent Podcast, I am privileged to have Abbe Feder, a fertility and life coach, and the founder of InCircle Fertility, as my guest. Abbe's personal journey through infertility and pregnancy loss led her to establish a community that provides vital support and hope for those on the path to parenthood. We discuss the emotional and financial challenges associated with fertility treatments and how services like InCircle Fertility can be a lifeline for individuals navigating these difficult experiences.Don't miss this episode—it's a testament to the power of support and resources in the face of adversity.Anna's Takeaways:The emotional toll of infertility on women. (4:19)Is it too late for women to have kids? (8:29)The turkey baker method of treatment. (14:46)The importance of self-care and financial planning. (19:57)Sharing your story is the best way to get the word out. (25:36)About Abbe:Abbe founded InCircle Fertility after emerging on the other side of her all-consuming struggles with infertility and pregnancy loss. During her six-year path to becoming a mother, she and her husband created the podcast Maculate Conception (audible) to process their deep grief and isolation while going through treatment after treatment.Through that podcast, women from all over the world reached out to Abbe, and almost accidentally, she began to help them on their own journeys. Abbe meets women and couples wherever they are in their path to parenthood - and wherever they are in the world - to provide the support and guidance needed to find a resolution. More than explaining what's going on in the process of Assisted Reproductive Technology, she holds hands and hearts through the often grueling experience.She is a recurring contributor to the blogs What's Up Moms and Fertility, Rescripted. And her newest podcast "The Fertility Chick" just released with iheartradio and cloud10 media.Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts Money Boss Parents!
