TW: Cancer Diagnosis, Hysterectomy

On today’s episode, we’re sitting down with Kaitlyn Gardner, a passionate Perinatal Mental Health-Certified advocate, Licensed Professional Counselor, PSI volunteer, OH - and the founder of a non-profit supporting parents in the perinatal period in her home-state of Arkansas (just to name a few things)! Today, we’ll chat about receiving a cancer diagnosis during pregnancy, an unexpected hysterectomy at the age of 31, and the stigma associated with the prevention and treatment of HPV. We’re so thankful for her willingness to speak so frankly on these topics - because they deserve to be discussed. So, without any further ado, please sit back, relax, and enjoy this incredible episode with our friend, Kaitlyn.

TW: Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

On today’s episode, we’re sitting down with Rachell Dumas, a registered nurse, keynote speaker, and the founder of A Light After Nine - a nonprofit dedicated to supporting women and families navigating infertility and pregnancy loss. We’ll chat about underserved populations, equity and compassionate care, & how Rachell transformed her personal adversity (of 8 pregnancy losses and one stillbirth) into a mission to empower others. When we heard about the incredible work she’s doing to support families in the perinatal period, we didn’t walk … we ran to the podcast studio. Fair warning - today’s episode includes giggles, includes lots of tears, and more laughter. It was an absolute pleasure to record this story, and an honor to share it with you now. So, without any further ado, please sit back, relax, and enjoy this episode with our friend, Rachell.

On today’s episode, we’re sitting down with Nicole McNelis - speaker, writer, therapist-mom & mom therapist. For anyone who attended PSI’s 2024 Annual conference in Washington, DC - you may remember Nicole from the highly-attended session that she led on rage. And if you didn’t attend, I’m sure you heard all kinds of buzz about that session afterward because this is a topic that people are READY to talk about. We’ll chat about compromised needs, violated expectations & "good enough parenting" ... oh, and our plans for a little meet-up to try the Philly's best cheesesteak. Anyone want to join us? Make sure to stick around to the very end of the lightning round, when we ask Nicole a question that brings all 3 of us to tears. We laugh, we cry, we say the quiet thoughts out loud. So, without any further ado, please sit back, relax, and enjoy this episode with our friend, Nicole.

• PSI Annual Conference
• Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C)
• Podcast: How Did This Get Made?
