Dr. Sonal's Page: The Pediatrician-Mom on a Mission
As a pediatrician and a mom, there are very few times that we are out of character.
This week's guest embodies the mom, physician, empath, life-saver all in one.
She is a neonatologist on a mission to save moms from the sometimes traumatic events that follow childbirth, that sometimes culminate in self-harm or suicide.
Did you know that many moms take their own lives around 9 to 10 months postpartum? I had no idea it was a thing even though after my last baby, I myself had a health scare at exactly 10 months postpartum!
Quotables:
"Invest in your health, ask for that in your registry"
"Expect it: the first month sucks"
"Find a support system, reach out"
"It's ok to include your partner in your child's care"
Where to find: www.nayacare.org: for telehealth and free consults for moms and their babies.
Are you a parent struggling with your child who just came out as gay?
Check out our brand new website! I am so proud of it, and can't wait to share it with you, especially the resources page.

Ciao Bella!

Thobeka's Page: "My Son is Now My Daughter"
Our first guest this week is a sister, a friend, a fellow African, a coach, and a fellow mom of an LGBTQ+ kid!
We met and clicked right away as was discussed in the show, and our bond and sisterhood have continued to soar! As a coach of parents of LGBTQ+ kids, I am so happy to present her episode to you!
I am so proud of her and the strength she exudes during this episode. She allowed the deepest level of vulnerability and is such an inspiration!
She shares about her unique position as a Black, African mother of a transwoman, and what it took for her to get to her current position being able to share with no restrictions about her child who is a trans-woman, all while living in Africa!
Her story is so inspiring that she will be returning for part 2 of her interview!
Where to find her: Facebook as Thobeka Yose.
See you in part 2!
