Your Path Beyond Depression, Anxiety, and Fatigue with Kelly Brogan

Emotions play an important role in how we think, feel, react and behave; they are an essential part of being human. Everyone goes through tough chapters in life where they experience mental and emotional stress, like sadness, anxiety, fear, and grief, for example. Acknowledging how you feel and committing to take care of yourself emotionally, creatively, physically, and spiritually, can help turn negative experiences and the thoughts and feelings that come along with it, into change, growth, and healing. In a book that's both provocative and radical, holistic psychiatrist Kelly Brogan, M.D., author of A Mind of Your Own, charts a new path to get real, get well, and get free. This is the Empowered Mama Podcast. Anxiety and depression are a mental health epidemic, with anxiety disorders taking the lead for the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 18.1% of the national population and 260 million people globally (According to the Anxiety and Depression Association). 322 million people worldwide live with depression, which occurs more often in women than men (According to the Anxiety and Depression Association). Mental health issues can happen to anyone...the mom-next-door experiencing Postpartum Depression and/or Postpartum Anxiety after the birth of her baby, the successful entrepreneur experiencing panic attacks who's been diagnosed with Panic Disorder, the nurse hiding crippling OCD from her co-workers, the wife suffering Major Depressive Disorder from the loss of a baby or her military spouse...the SAHM moms, the working moms, your best friend...you. People who experience any form of a mood disorder know how crippling these feelings and the "new normal" they seem to be facing can be. Treating any type of mental illness often requires a combination approach, ranging from talk therapy with a psychologist, meds, psychiatrist care, and/or lifestyle adjustments or changes. You are not alone in this journey, and we support you seeking help if and when you -- or someone you know -- notices a change in your thoughts and feelings. This is especially important to be on the lookout for postpartum, when a new mom may be susceptible to Postpartum Depression, Postpartum OCD, Postpartum Anxiety, and/or Postpartum Psychosis. Medications can be a life-saving necessity for some with mental illness, and others may wish to seek a holistic route -- or a blend. We support whatever form of treatment works for you, whether that means going to weekly therapy with a psychologist, taking meds prescribed by your licensed doctor or psychiatrist, changing your diet and lifestyle, or any combination. Disclaimer: Always seek medical advice from a board-certified therapist, psychiatrist, and/or physician before beginning any new treatment plan and deciding what approach to take on your mental health journey. Today, we are interviewing Kelly Brogan, M.D., a holistic psychiatrist who specializes in treating mental health through a natural approach. We know this route of treatment is not for everyone. We know meds save lives. We also know that there are potential ways to feel better outside of the traditional western medicine scope.

Big Little Choices with Sri Bodanapu

We often second guess our choices as parents because we are told to do things in a certain way, even if those choices don't seem ideal for us. My guest today hopes to change this. She wants to inspire moms to make their own choices, not conform to societal or cultural norms, and to create a path that’s authentic to their lives and identities. I’m super excited today to meet my guest Sri. She started a very cool website and podcast called Big Little Choices. It began with the intention of creating a space where women (especially moms) could share their choices without fearing judgment. There is no one right way to parent - whether it be how your kids eat, sleep, learn or play. It really comes down to what works for you and for your family. https://www.biglittlechoices.co The Empowered Mama is part of the Parents On Demand Network.

Although this podcast has no new shows, I still wanted to express my gratitude for it. With Covid occurring over this last year, my opportunities for mama connection were extremely limited. I was feeling alone, started listening to this podcast & couldn’t stop! I’ve listened to over 50 episodes in just a few months of being a new mom to a currently 7 mon. old. I feel as though Lisa & the woman she interviews ARE MY COMMUNITY. I’m inspired by so many of these episodes, to the point I want to kick off my own small business. Thank you thank you! One day, I hope you return Lisa. This is GOOD stuff!
Wow, this is why I LOVE podcasts

Wow, I just finished listening to episode #225 “A path beyond depression etc. with Kelly Brogran.” I loved this episode! This is the first one I have listened to from your show and I know I’m already hooked to the show. This is why I get addicted and LOVE podcasts so much. Thank you for choosing wonderful interview questions and I especially liked the last moments where you did a quick, one answer Q&A. Way to use yours and everyone’s timely wisely! I can’t thank you enough for this Empowering Information! Encore! 🤓🙌🏼
Love!

Love this podcast!! So sad she’s taking a break for awhile but being a loyal listener, I wanted to write a review which have never got the chance to. I’m a mom at a 4 year old and 18 month old and I’m def letting myself get overwhelmed. It’s so refreshing to hear someone speaking to me, telling me that I’m doing my best as a mom and that everyone gets blue once and awhile. And that ok. Lisa has inspired me to open an Etsy shop (which I haven’t yet but slowing working towards it... two little kids and a full time job) But it’s a passion project that I’m going to slowly captivate when I can. (Handmade kids birthday decorations). Once I’m open, I’ll reach out to Lisa on FB and thank her, she lit a fire in me that I haven’t felt in long time!! Xoxo Jeanne
