Annika Sten Pärson is a change maker in global mental health. As the Founding Partner and Executive Chair of The Inner Foundation, she leads a global initiative with a bold commitment of over $100 million over the next 20 years, funding innovative mental health solutions and startups to address the crisis head-on. In this episode, Annika shares her extraordinary journey from a corporate executive in Stockholm to a leading advocate for social change. With over 25 years of experience in telecoms, media, retail, and consumer goods, she made a transformative shift to focus on mental health. Her passion is centered on the 1.8 billion "emerging adults" aged 18 to 25, whose inner worlds must be supported to foster a thriving outer world. Annika's personal experiences—being adopted, working in social services focusing on maternal and reproductive care, navigating her own reproductive challenges, and adopting her own children—have profoundly shaped her commitment to this cause. Her past roles include serving as CEO of the Seleni Institute, which supports women's reproductive and maternal mental health, and volunteering as a therapist at 1825 – Therapy Center for Young Adults in Stockholm, a non-profit she co-founded. We also explore the broader issue of under-investment in mental health, with only 2-5% of the $9.5 trillion global health expenditure directed toward this critical area, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Annika discusses the resilience needed for young people and the importance of self-care for those striving to make a difference. Tune in for an inspiring conversation with a leader dedicated to transforming mental health care and supporting the next generation on a global scale.

Anxiety and depression are prevalent across cultures and across time. It manifests in unique ways in the 21st century and particularly in America where technology and information is widespread. Our guest today is Allison Beck, a psychotherapist and pregnancy, postpartum and parenthood coach in private practice, specializing in reproductive psychology, parenthood and anxiety and mood disorders across all life stages. We begin our discussion with what anxiety and depression are and the difference between "normal" anxiety and sadness and these terms when used to describe a clinical diagnosis. We cover how adaptive states and moods are a normal part of the human experience but that there is much that can be done when they interfere with our mental and physical health. Allison dives into psychological mindfulness and how acceptance of emotions without judgment has helped her patients improve their wellbeing. She touches on the ideas of toxic productivity, toxic positivity and the pandemic's effects on depression and anxiety in the U.S. Allison presents the idea that it takes a lot of work to live in discomfort (anxious and sad states) and how it's less work to be proactive and tackle these emotions without fear by seeking help.Allison holds certifications in Maternal Mental Health from the Seleni Institute and has advanced training in Perinatal Mental Health with PostPartum Support International. Allison has served as an advisor and written contributor on perinatal mental health for various professional service providers and organizations. She received a BS in Human Development with a dual concentration in Early Childhood and Adolescence from Cornell University and an MSW from NYU. Allison has been supporting individuals and families as a Psychotherapist in NYC agencies, hospitals, and in private practice for over a decade.Connect with her:@_allisonbeckallisonbeck.com

Dealing with perinatal mental health issues is a difficult enough task, but the problem is compounded for Muslim women living in the US. My guest today helps us understand the issues and how we can best support these moms. Dr. Venus Mahmoodi specializes in trauma and reproductive mental health. More specifically, in today’s show, she’ll tell us about perinatal mental health for Muslim women, including the rates of depression for the Muslim community in the US, what makes them particularly vulnerable to perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, and how we can support Muslim women in a culturally competent way. Dr. Mahmoodi completed her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at Palo Alto University in California, with an emphasis on women’s neuroscience and health through collaboration with Stanford University. Her clinical training included working with refugees and torture survivors, veterans, and perinatal women in a specialized, intensive outpatient program. Her dissertation focused on the perinatal experience of Muslim women living in the US, including the protective aspects of Islamic practice during and after pregnancy against depressive symptoms. Dr. Mahmoodi completed specialized training through Postpartum Support International, and advanced specialized training in grief/loss and distress related to infertility at the Seleni Institute in NY. She now cares for individuals and couples at the Seleni Institute, which focuses on perinatal mental health as well as the Haleel Center, which focuses on the mental well-being of Muslims. Show Highlights: Why the percentages of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders increase for women of color, including Muslim women (up to 28%), but there are lower levels of support, services, and resources How culture and religion play huge roles in the Muslim population The unique challenges for Muslim women, including issues with their country of origin, because their practices will differ from those in other countries The far-reaching effects of Islam in countries around the world, with Indonesia and South Asia having the largest numbers The misconceptions that Muslims only come from Middle Eastern countries How the two sects of Muslims differ in how their religion is practiced and expectations for pregnancy and postpartum Societal pressure and family pressure within the Muslim community How family traditions in pregnancy and postpartum can lead to stress and anxiety for moms Religious practice and prayer restrictions in the Muslim community Other coping strategies that Muslim women can use when they are restricted from prayers Feelings of inadequacy for the Muslim mother How The Haleel Center finds ways to incorporate religious thought and women’s expectations Vulnerabilities for Muslim women in gender roles and stigmas for patriarchal societies Strengths for Muslim women in that religion protects them against mental illness, helps them cope with and manage stress, and gives them a sense of connection to God How we can support Muslim women in culturally competent ways by being curious and avoiding assumptions Join our Patreon today and support this Podcast: Patreon: Mom And Mind Our listeners get a 10% discount on Ritual Vitamins for your first three months!
