Hello from your favorite (appropriately!) medicated podcast hosts! In this episode, we talk about psychiatric medications: why we choose to use them, when we went on them, our good and bad experiences, and more. If you are grieving a loss (particularly a traumatic one) and have been considering going on medication, this episode is for you! Please remember that WE ARE NOT MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS and even more than that, we are not YOUR doctor... this is not medical advice, just our experiences. :::Support As Long As I'm Living podcast at ⁠buymeacoffee.com/alailpodcast⁠ OR buy buying our MERCH at ⁠bonfire.com/store/alailpodcast⁠!:::Follow As Long As I'm Living on Instagram at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@aslongasimlivingpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, send us an email at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠aslongasimlivingpodcast@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, or visit us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠anchor.fm/aslongasimliving⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

In this episode, Judith chats with Jennifer Ventling about boundaries. What are boundaries? how should you set them? What is the best way to enforce them? More this week on this topic on our Instagram stories!From Jen:"I am a Certified Professional Coach. I specialize in coaching people with chaotic lives. My mission is to combat toxic positivity and messaging such as, “take control of your chaos,” or, “learn how to manage your chaos.” I believe that you cannot manage or control chaos. Suggesting that we can makes us feel as if we are incapable when we do not achieve the impossible. Instead, I believe that if we practice awareness, we can find peace in the eye of the storm. I will help you navigate the chaos, and guide you through both internal and external blocks. Together, we develop strategies to help you create stability and achieve your goals."You can find Jen here: jenthechaotic.com(Note: Alina is missing from this episode because she was giving birth during the recording!):::Support As Long As I'm Living podcast at ⁠buymeacoffee.com/alailpodcast⁠ OR buy buying our MERCH at ⁠bonfire.com/store/alailpodcast⁠!:::Follow As Long As I'm Living on Instagram at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@aslongasimlivingpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, send us an email at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠aslongasimlivingpodcast@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, or visit us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠anchor.fm/aslongasimliving⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

When seeing patients, I always recommend people to gather their Fertility TEAM, and the T is for therapist. I'm so excited to have Dr. Loree Johnson share her valuable info with all of you today. In this conversation, we're going to be talking about some of the mental health impacts of being a fertility patient. I'll be asking Dr. Johnson about the difference between Infertility Stress and Infertility Trauma, we're going to talk about grief as it relates to fertility (and how it's different than other grief), and she'll share how to navigate the stress of being pregnant after having loss. Dr. Loree Johnson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with more than 25 years of experience as a clinician, educator, and clinical supervisor. After her first-hand experience with fertility challenges taught her the importance of self-care for managing the physical and emotional stress that come with the fertility process, coupled with the lack of representation she saw of therapists of color in the fertility space, Dr. Loree found her purpose supporting individuals and couples on their path to parenthood. She and her husband welcomed their rainbow baby in 2021 after 8 years of trying to conceive, three losses, and one TFMR. Tune in on Dr. Aimee's Website. Visit Dr. Loree Johnson's website.

In this deeply moving and eye-opening episode of The Worst Girl Gang Ever, we're joined by the incredible Emma Belle, founder of TFMR Mamas, for an unfiltered conversation about navigating pregnancy loss, making an impossible decision, and building a safe space for others after a termination for medical reasons (TFMR). Emma shares her personal story of fertility treatments, genetic screening heartbreak, receiving a diagnosis of Edwards syndrome, and ultimately saying goodbye to her baby, Willow. With raw honesty, she walks us through the emotional and practical chaos that follows TFMR, including how medical systems often dehumanise grief, and what it means to choose advocacy in a world that still judges pregnancy loss. Together with hosts Bex Gunn and Laura Buckingham, this episode covers the real, unspoken truths behind TFMR and baby loss, while offering insights, validation, and education for anyone who has faced reproductive trauma or wants to support those who have.

Communication ideas for romantic, heterosexual couples after/through baby loss. Laura Amador, a Laura Doyle certified relationship coach shares 3 insightful ways to take care of your grief and bring you closer to your partner.You can find the guide "5 Steps to Reignite Connection in Your Marriage" that Laura Amador mentions in the episode here:https://www.coachlauraamador.com/5steps/?ref=SABRINAFLETCHER (My affiliate link)Another highly recommended resources:The Empowered Wife, book by Laura Doylehttps://www.amazon.com/Empowered-Wife-Updated-Expanded-Surprising/dp/1637742266....TAMING TFMR TRIGGERSwww.thetfmrdoula.com/triggersHaving the first drink of beer or coffee after you lose your baby...Trying to connect again with your partner through sggsy time...Going on the pre-planned "baby moon", but without your bump...Your clothes fitting differently, finding the baby clothes you bought with so much hope, even YOUR PARTNER not needing to change their clothes!!...All of these things and more can be a trigger after TFMR (termination for medical reasons) pregnancy loss.I went through it too after I lost my baby - there was even this one water glass that I always used to super hydrate in pregnancy. After my baby was gone that glass made me feel ill just looking at it. I wanted to smash it on the floor, run away from it and simultaneously enshrine it as a tiny memory with her - but it was wrapped in in SO MUCH PAIN.The triggers come from the pain, this ache, this desire and longing for our baby, but pop up at the LEAST convenient time.When you just want to drink a coffee and put on some pants in PEACE!!!I found that talking about the triggers in therapy, writing about them, thinking about how I could fix them logically, did not help.There's a direct line to the triggers, and it's in a place you can tap into -in the moment - to come back to your center too: the body.After I learned how to do this, I was able to drink coffee again, see pregnant bellies, even go to the gynecologist, without panic attacks and falling down on the ground in a bundle of tears.I'm going to show you how I do this in Taming TFMR Triggers, a workshop I am putting together for you and holding LIVE on Monday, February 10th.Here's the link again to sign upwww.thetfmrdoula.com/triggers ($11 USD) live or catch the replay after Feb. 10th‌….And if you would like to shareyour TFMR Story on "Our TFMR Stories," email me here to find out more: sabrina at theTFMRdoula dot comAnd for more support follow atwww.instagram.com/thetfmrdoulaMusic clip:Pamgaea by Kevin MacLeodLink:https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4193-pamgaeaLicense:http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

This week we are continuing our interview with Rochel, the bereaved aunt of sweet Sophie and psychiatric nurse practitioner. In this episode, we talk with Rochel about her other loss experiences (she's sadly an experienced griever) and how she uses writing and other modalities to integrate the losses into her life. We were caught off guard by how emotional this interview with Rochel was. Both of us felt seen and held in our grief in a way we rarely do with those who are not bereaved parents themselves... we hope you feel the same after this time with Rochel. Sending love to Sophie in the stars

It's a very special episode! Ali's beloved PIBAC (Partner in Biz and Claw), Blair Nelson @fabivfmama, is back to share the third installment of her years-long infertility journey. Blair and Ali pick up where they left off during their last episode, in 2022, when Blair was pregnant with her son, Baron, but they had received devastating news that he had been diagnosed with a very rare condition called Limb Body Wall Complex. Blair talks about traveling from her home in Austin, TX to Colorado to undergo a Termination for Medical Reasons (TFMR). She talks about the amazing fellow TFMR mamas n this community who helped her navigate that difficult time, and how the procedure did not go exactly as planned, putting her life at risk. She shares how she and her husband, Will, transferred another embryo months later, although it did not implant. She also talks about deciding to transfer their "mighty mosaic" embryo, the advice she got from her doctors, and finally getting pregnant and having their miracle baby, Margot, in October 2024.  For more follow Blair at @fabivfmama and @fertilityrally TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE: Infertility; TTC; TFMR; placenta accreta; embryo transfer; mosaic embryos; pregnancy after loss; Roe v.

In this episode, we interview Judith's friend Rochel about the complexities of grief, particularly the loss of her niece Sophie. Rochel shares how she continues to build on her relationship with Sophie even after her death, and the ways in which she continues to celebrate her life. You may remember Rochel from a post we shared on our stories a few weeks ago, part of which is shared below with Rochel's permission: "Every year, I throw a party for my niece's birthday. Tomorrow, Sophie would have been 11. My sister once told me that with time and work, grief eventually moves from a constant heart-stabbing cry for what you've lost to an intermittent glow of gratitude for what you were blessed to have. It has taken years for me to be able to access the embodied knowledge that Sophie's transition from this physical plan, was just that - Her death was a shape-shifting..."

Have you ever wondered why your hair fell out after your baby died? Or why your skin looks gray? Why you feel like grief physically aged you? It's because it DID... kind of. Physical appearance might seem like a silly thing to worry about after your baby dies, but not recognizing yourself in the mirror is horribly depressing. In this episode, we speak to board-certified dermatologist Dr. Lawrence Green about how grief and stress affect your physical health. He also shares with us how to take care of yourself as best you can when you have very little energy, and ways that a dermatologist can help you feel more like YOU again. ::: This episode is sponsored in memory of Lily!

It's Aiden's 4th birthday, and for the first time since he was born, Judith is planning to go to work on the day. It might not sound like a big deal to some (especially those of you who HAD to work on previous birthdays), but it feels like a big deal to us. There are not many things that we keep sacred in our grief, but the birthdays and death anniversaries have (so far) been two of them. Not so anymore. Big feelings all around... and shout-out to Taylor Swift for all of the songs we reference in this episode that help us talk about these big feelings. - "It only hurts this much right now, is what I've been thinking the whole time." - "I love you. It's ruining my life." - "A lesser woman would've lost hope; a greater woman wouldn't beg. But I look to the sky and say... please." - "Isn't it just so pretty to think, that all along there was some invisible string tying you to me." ::: This episode of As Long As I'm Living is sponsored in memory of Isabel Poppy!

When seeing patients, I always recommend people to gather their Fertility TEAM, and the T is for therapist. I'm so excited to have Dr. Loree Johnson share her valuable info with all of you today. In this conversation, we're going to be talking about some of the mental health impacts of being a fertility patient. I'll be asking Dr. Johnson about the difference between Infertility Stress and Infertility Trauma, we're going to talk about grief as it relates to fertility (and how it's different than other grief), and she'll share how to navigate the stress of being pregnant after having loss. Dr. Loree Johnson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with more than 25 years of experience as a clinician, educator, and clinical supervisor. After her first-hand experience with fertility challenges taught her the importance of self-care for managing the physical and emotional stress that come with the fertility process, coupled with the lack of representation she saw of therapists of color in the fertility space, Dr. Loree found her purpose supporting individuals and couples on their path to parenthood. She and her husband welcomed their rainbow baby in 2021 after 8 years of trying to conceive, three losses, and one TFMR. Tune in on Dr. Aimee's Website. Visit Dr. Loree Johnson's website.

In today's episode, we're diving into the story of someone who has spent her life caring for other people's children with love, patience, and dedication. For years, Jordan, a BCBA and Co-Founder of CEUs by Study Notes ABA, has been the one others relied on, nurturing, teaching, and being there for countless young lives. But now, she's facing one of the most personal, heart-wrenching journeys of her own—the journey of trying to have a child herself. As she opens up about her struggle with finding out about a joint incompatible with life carrier status and her ongoing experience with IVF, she shares the unexpected emotions, the heartache, and the resilience it takes to keep going when the dream feels just out of reach. This is an honest conversation about sacrifice, hope, and the strength we often don't realize we have until it's tested. Join us as we walk alongside her through this chapter of longing, self-reflection, and the undying hope that love will eventually bring her the family she's always dreamed of.Behavior Concepts Covered:Motivating OperationsAbolishing OperationsSDSDeltaRepeatabilityMatching LawNegative ReinforcementPunishmentReinforcementMandRecruit own reinforcementReplacement BehaviorComponent AnalysisTreatment PackageACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)Antecedent modificationContact Us: For podcast inquiries, episode ideas, or just to say hi, email us at behaviorbitches@studynotesaba.comLeave us a 5-star review in the Apple Podcast App so we can read it to everyone during our episodes and make us super happy!Looking for BCBA Exam Prep or CEUs?Whether you need help passing the BCBA exam or are looking to earn CEUs,Study Notes ABA has you covered.

On this week's episode, we are changing things up and rereleasing one of our Listener Series episodes that we feel is critical to consider on the eve of the presidential election.We welcome Kayla to share her story with us. Her first pregnancy and delivery with their daughter was traumatic after developing severe preeclampsia. On Mother's Day 2022, Kayla found out she was pregnant with their son Brooks. At their anatomy scan, Brooks was diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, critical aortic stenosis, and several other heart defects that meant he would not survive delivery. With the recent abortion laws in the state of Idaho, Kayla and her family were put in the situation to seek abortion care out of state adding to the already traumatic diagnosis for their son. On this episode you will hear: - Challenges of accessing abortion care in the state of Idaho- TFMR & navigating abortion care in a restrictive state- The financial burden of having to travel out of state for care- Advocacy for reproductive rights and abortion care.If you have a birth trauma story you would like to share with us, click this link and fill out the form. For more birth trauma content and a community full of love and support, head to my Instagram at @thebirthtrauma_mama.Learn more about the support and services I offer through The Birth Trauma Mama Therapy & Support Services.

In this bonus episode, Kate discusses the impact of reproductive rights on millennial women ahead of the 2024 election, and uses experts and real-life stories to showcase how prioritizing a highly interconnected system of rights and freedoms impacting half the population is the farthest thing from a “single issue.” This episode has three parts: 00:00 Kate's intro about the multi-faceted nature of reproductive freedom and millennials' unique position re: being child-bearing age when the U.S. Supreme Court abandoned its duty to protect citizens' fundamental rights and overturned Roe v. Wade 23:58 An interview with Dr. Roohi Jeelani, MD, FACOG, double board certified Reproductive Endocrinologist and Infertility Specialist (REI) and Chief Medical Officer of Kindbody, who provides unbiased, scientific insights into IVF, fetal personhood, and the existing and potential complications that arise from misconceived policies related to IVF59:28 (TW) Kate reads real listener-submitted personal stories about a broad spectrum of reproductive issues, e.g. the challenging landscape modern women face due to restrictive abortion laws when managing their lives and losses, experiences being provided limited options in strict states and/or Catholic hospitals for contraception, induced abortions, and miscarriage management, along with examples of women who felt forced to cross state lines to receive necessary care, heartbreaking stories about barriers in TFMR situations, and women affected by the IVF ruling in Alabama, among other experiences.The goal of this non-monetized bonus episode is to 1. help clarify the murky and somewhat sudden involvement of IVF in the 2024 election cycle rhetoric, and 2. to provide listeners with examples of how politicians' throwaway talking points can profoundly affect everyday women' lives in dangerous and devastating ways.

Hello, and welcome to today's episode.We're speaking with Kaitlyn and Erika from the US, and Claire from Ireland, about advocacy for TFMR (and abortion).Unless you have been on the moon (!) for the last 12 months, there's a US election about to be decided on the 5th November, and women's reproductive rights is a key issue.Kaitlyn and Erika tell us about their experiences with advocacy within the US.

Hello and welcome back to season 10!In this episode I am speaking with Jane fisher, Director of Antenatal Results and Choices about TFMR and abortion within the political sphere.Many do not realise how much ARC keeps up with the abortion debate within the UK and how they insure that politicians are informed and educated about TFMR. Unfortunately, we always need to be on our toes for those politicians seeking to lower the gestation age for abortion (24 weeks in the UK) and/or trying to ban women from being able to have a TFMR for certain conditions, like T21.We discuss what happened just before the UK election this summer and how ARC quietly works in the background on these issues.We hope you enjoy listening. Get in touch and let us know what you think. Social media: Instagram and Facebook @TimeToTalkTFMR.Email is TalkTFMR@yahoo.comThis episode is supported by Antenatal Results and Choices.
