Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Interview with Holly Lammer part two: Mindful Birthing: A Transformative Journey
Q: How do mindfulness practices apply after birth and into parenting?
Mindfulness helps parents regulate their nervous systems, let go of attachments to every feeling, and stay present with the baby, which supports bonding, safety, and smoother parenting transitions.
Interview with Holly Lammer part two: Mindful Birthing: A Transformative Journey
Q: Could you share one of them?
One memorable moment was a very young birther who planned to go unmedicated and, after talking through her concerns and options, ended up having a beautiful unmedicated birth.
Interview with Cherionna Menzam Sills: The Prenatal Shadow: How Unacknowledged Birth and Womb Experiences Shape Our Lives
Q: Could you describe what the term prenatal shadow means and how it might show up later in life?
The prenatal shadow encompasses experiences from before birth and around birth that weren't acknowledged or reflected; these memories are stored implicitly in the body and can influence patterns, postures, and emotional responses long after the fact.
Interview with Katie O'Toole part 2: Postpartum Depression and Working Motherhood
Q: So why do you think it would be helpful for birthing moms, especially to hear this information directly from you, specifically?
She emphasizes that her perspective as an everyday working mom offers practical, relatable insight that complements clinical information, helping women feel less isolated and more understood in balancing work and motherhood.
Interview with Katie O'Toole part 2: Postpartum Depression and Working Motherhood
Q: When I loop back a little bit, the postpartum depression, how did you find your way through?
Katie describes accessing therapy as essential, using journaling as a therapeutic outlet, and gradually turning writing into a communication to future mothers, which helped transform her experience into a resource for others.
