    Postpartum Support for New Moms: Kaitlin McGreyes on Why Baby Shower Gifts Are Not Enough

    ⁠What if the best gift for a new mom is not another onesie, gadget, or nursery item, but real postpartum support? In this episode of the Enough-ism Podcast, Kaitlin McGreyes, founder of BeHerVillage.com, challenges the traditional baby shower registry and shares a more meaningful way to care for new parents. Instead of filling homes with more stuff, BeHerVillage helps friends and family fund the support new moms actually need, including doulas, home-cooked meals, lactation consultants, mental health care, laundry help, and trusted community support. Kaitlin explores the gap between celebrating pregnancy and truly supporting postpartum recovery. This conversation looks at why well-intentioned gift giving can still leave mothers feeling stranded, how community care can transform the early weeks of motherhood, and practical ways to show up for new parents with more purpose and less clutter. This episode is for anyone who wants to support a new mom, rethink baby shower gifts, build a stronger postpartum village, or understand why care is the greatest gift. Visit BeHerVillage.com to learn how you can fund meaningful postpartum care. Share this episode with someone who needs a reminder that support is the greatest gift.

    Visualization for Healing: Psychologist Soha Al-Jurf on Reconnecting With Your Voice and Inner Self

    Eyes closed, heart open. In this episode of the Enough-ism Podcast, we explore how visualization can support healing, calm the nervous system, and help you reconnect with your voice, imagination, and sense of self. Today we welcome Soha Al-Jurf, a voice specialist, depth psychologist, and founder of Voice Coaching for Creatives. Soha combines vocal performance and Jungian psychology to help women reconnect with their voices and heal their minds. Together, we explore the transformative role of visualization in mindfulness, self-discovery, and healing. Soha shares how visualization can help quiet external stimulation, guide you inward, and offer a flexible alternative to traditional meditation, especially for people who struggle with stillness. We also discuss the connection between visualization and the collective unconscious, how guided practices can access deeper layers of the psyche, and the role of rhythm, sound, and voice in creating altered states of awareness and connection. At the end of the episode, Soha guides listeners through a visualization to visit their sacred inner sanctuary, a deeply personal and grounding practice designed to foster clarity, calm, and connection.
