    Holly Cairns on the future Irish families deserve

    Welcome back to Season 20, Episode 1 where we welcome Holly Cairns - leader of the Social Democrats, a TD for Cork South-West, and one of the most recognisable voices in Irish politics. First elected to Dáil Éireann in 2020, she's built a reputation for speaking candidly about issues ranging from housing, healthcare and women's rights, to gender equality and childcare. But beyond the headlines and parliamentary debates, Holly is also someone who has spoken openly about the personal side of public life: the pressures of leadership, the expectations placed on women, and what it means to build a life while serving the country. As more people delay starting families, navigate changing ideas of parenthood, or try to balance demanding careers with their personal lives, those conversations have become increasingly relevant. Today, we're stepping away from party politics and into the person behind the politician. We'll be talking about ambition, identity, family, and the values that shape not just how Holly leads, but how she sees the world. Enjoy this episode, and I'll be back to you next week.

    EP225 Kitty, One Pregnancy & Birth, Spontaneous Labour, Epidural, Postpartum Haemorrhage

    This week I share my chat with Kitty, who talks me through her first pregnancy and the birth of her daughter. Kitty shares how she felt seeing a positive pregnancy test when starting a family wasn't part of her immediate plan. After taking time to process the news and sharing it with her loved ones, her mindset began to shift and started preparing for birth. She revisits going into labour spontaneously and reflects on her experience of having an epidural that wasn't as effective as she had hoped. Shortly after welcoming her daughter into the world, Kitty experienced a postpartum haemorrhage (PPH). Although she lost a lot of blood, she didn't receive a blood transfusion as her blood levels were just above the threshold required for one. Kitty is in a great place now, but she shares how the postpartum haemorrhage and the care she received afterwards weren't what she had hoped for.

    When Depression Doesn't Look Like Depression

    What does depression look like? It’s not always… sadness. It can be anger. Irritability. Picking fights. Checking out. Taking risks that don't make sense. It can look, to everyone around you — including you — like a character problem, not a medical condition. Christopher Choukalas is an ICU physician at UCSF. Six months after his twin daughters were born, he had every symptom on the paternal postpartum depression list. He had no idea. In this episode, Dr. Becky and Dr. Choukalas go through the symptom list live — and talk about why this form of depression is so easy to miss, what it costs the whole family when it goes unnamed, and what getting help actually looked like for one father who needed it badly. Christopher G. Choukalas, MD, MS is the author of Even the Darkest Night: A Father's Journey of Hope and Healing from Paternal Depression. * Thank you to our partners for making this episode possible: SmartyPants: Shop SmartyPants Vitamins at Target, Walmart, or Amazon today LMNT: Get a free gift with your purchase at drinkLMNT.com/goodinside Girl Scouts: If you have a daughter in kindergarten through 12th grade, visit girlscouts.org to learn more Little Spoon: Get 50% off your first order at littlespoon.com/rattled with code RATTLED Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

  • BTS: Is Private Maternity Care Really Safer?

    BTS: Is Private Maternity Care Really Safer?

    A large Australian study comparing public and private maternity care seemed to show better outcomes for mothers and babies in private obstetric-led care, including lower rates of stillbirth, NICU admission, severe perineal tears, and maternal haemorrhage. But the story is much more complicated than the headline suggests. In this episode of Baby Tribe Shorts, Afif and Anne unpack the study and ask whether it really proves that private care is safer, or whether the results reflect something deeper: differences in patient selection, continuity of care, intervention thresholds, and the fact that public hospitals often absorb the highest-risk pregnancies. They also discuss why the findings may not translate neatly to Ireland, where private obstetric care usually sits within public maternity hospitals rather than separate private maternity units. The take-home message is not that public care is worse, but that fragmented care, lack of continuity, and risk transfer matter. A high-risk hospital having worse outcomes does not mean it gives worse care. Sometimes it simply means it is looking after the patients who need the most help.

    476 - Everything’s Fine, But You Don’t Feel Okay. Here’s What That Actually Means with Dr. Anne Walsh

    You’re capable, devoted, doing everything right on paper.  And you still feel like you’re failing, guilty when you work, restless with your kids, exhausted and not sure why. That’s not a personal failing. It’s a bind you were handed, and once you can see it, you can start to climb out of it. Dr. Anne Walsh, clinician, coach, and author of a new book on what she calls the ambition paradox, joins me to name the trap that keeps high-achieving women invisible in their own lives.  Then she gets deeply practical, the closet clean-out for your identity, the breadcrumbs of joy, and the three patterns quietly running everything. If you’ve been telling yourself you should be grateful while wondering why you feel so empty, this conversation is the deep exhale you’ve needed. What You’ll Learn The ambition paradox: why women are allowed to be ambitious only if they’re also endlessly available, regulated, and grateful, and what that bind costs youThe closet clean-out for your identity: a concrete exercise to sort which expectations are actually yours and which you can finally set downBreadcrumbs of joy: how to find what you actually want when that muscle has completely atrophiedThe three P’s (perfectionism, people-pleasing, and pretending) Dr. Welsh's book Ambitious Mother Connect with Dr. Welsh on Instagram -- 🧠 What's your capacity pattern?  Take the free 2-minute quiz and unlock The Capacity Code — a personalized private podcast episode for your specific nervous system.  → Take the Capacity Pattern Quiz
