Life after birth is a podcast hosted by me; mother, psychologist and coach, Yara Heary. This is where I'll talk to women about their complex experiences of being a mother. You'll find me talking to experts but not how you've heard them talk before. I'll be asking them about their experiences behind their expertise - who were they before a mother, how has it changed them, and who have they become.

    I love this podcast - I found Yara on an American mothering podcast and followed her right away - I love her compassionate, authentic perspective and the balance of her sharing her experiences while drawing out the meaningful stories of her interviewees. I have noticed that recently, she stopped asking the guests what they are reading/watching on TV and I really miss that portion! I always looked forward to it at the end of the episode.

  • A Hug from a Friend

    As a mom of two littles, I have been appreciating Yara’s podcast so much. Her chats with her guests are warm and full of wisdom. I appreciate the conscience parenting theme and the real openness to our humanity and making mistakes as parents while doing our best. I hum affirmatively and weep through every episode. Thank you ♥️

  • Hits every time!

    Yara’s podcast has a way of meeting every mother where she is at - each episode speaks to the soul and tells you something you didn’t know you needed to hear. I love the choice of guests who always share so vulnerably and whom I relate to their story too. Thanks Yara for providing this exceptional & healing resource to my mother heart!

  • Opens door for deeper convos with moms

    I love Yara Heary’s personal and professional cross-section of wisdom she brings to her podcast. Heary takes a refreshingly personal approach to discussing motherhood, by inviting experts to share not just their professional advice, but their personal journeys and evolutions through motherhood. It is a heartfelt series that offers a comforting hand to all mothers navigating the complex landscape of motherhood! Highly recommend to all moms seeking understanding and deeper connection.
