  • Excellent podcast for midwives

    I am a frequent podcast listener and this is one of my favorites! Well produced and the content takes a deeper dive into aspects of birth work beyond a surface level review of the usual topics. The recent podcast about burn out amongst birth workers is a must-listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Community Based Midwives are the Anchor with Martha Redpath
Q: Do you think community-based birth is going to survive this thing that's happening across the country of academicization and marginalization, criminalization, the closing of all of the community birth centers?
Yes, I think it will survive; this is a microcosm of a larger historical pattern, and as small hospitals close, birthing centers may rise, renewing trust and the value of community-based care.
Rerun: Understanding Postpartum Psychosis (Beyond The Lindsay Clancy Headlines) with Aaisha Alvi
Q: What should clinicians or family members do when they suspect postpartum psychosis?
Clinicians should assess for psychosis, consider hospitalization if safety is at risk, and apply antipsychotic treatment while coordinating with perinatal psychiatry; families should seek emergency care if dangerous thoughts or behaviors are present.
Rerun: Understanding Postpartum Psychosis (Beyond The Lindsay Clancy Headlines) with Aaisha Alvi
Q: What is postpartum psychosis, and how does it differ from postpartum depression?
She describes postpartum psychosis as a psychiatric emergency with possible hallucinations and delusions, occurring in about 0.1–0.2% of births, and explains it is not the same as postpartum depression, which is more common and typically not life-threatening.
Rerun: Understanding Postpartum Psychosis (Beyond The Lindsay Clancy Headlines) with Aaisha Alvi
Q: Would you mind saying who you are, where you are, and what you're all about?
The guest introduces herself as Aisha Alvi, a postpartum psychosis awareness advocate and author of a memoir; she explains her Canadian background and mission to raise awareness and help others access care.
From The Farm to Motherfly with Corina Fitch
Q: What is your vision for the future and how can people get involved?
Her vision centers on making Matrescence and Motherfly global, creating scalable programs like nine-month Motherfly Thrive Beyond Burnout, and expanding the supportive village through communities and partnerships, with steps to follow at her website and social channels.
