Hindsight is 20/20: A Motherhood Feels Podcast Dr. Jill Garrett

On this episode, I welcome seasoned mom of two, Paulette Kamenecka. Paulette graduated from Yale University in 1992, carries a MA in Public Policy and a PhD in Economics. Listen in as she shares how in her last year of graduate school, she and her husband navigated a pregnancy that introduced them to autoimmune diseases, high risk pregnancy, cardiologists, and neonatologists. Paulette has found a passion in reading, writing and researching on the intersection of immunology and pregnancy and women’s health in general. Check out the shownotes for links for her website and her podcast.

On this episode, I welcome seasoned mom, licensed psychologist, and one my former supervisors during graduate school, Dr. Marni Reuling. Marni served as my supervisor when we were both employed at a youth residential treatment center in Westchester County, NY. Though Marni supervised me during her pregnancy and postpartum period with her now 13-year-old twins, as a supervisee, I was not aware of the perinatal challenges that were going on behind-the-scenes. Marni now specializes in maternal and women’s mental health in her private practice work, but some of my favorite memories with her included having the opportunity to participate in an equine therapy group, yup, that’s therapy with horses, that Marni started at the agency where we worked. Having a supervisor who possessed these unique and engaging styles of support, held a passion for the profession, and who peppered humor and sarcasm into the work were some other bonuses of my time working with Marni. Listen in to all of that and more, next.

On this episode, I welcome seasoned mom, licensed clinical social worker, Director of Clinical and Counseling Services and therapist at The Postpartum Stress Center, Ashlee Adams. In addition to working with clients, Ashlee oversees the clinical staff at The Postpartum Stress Center, as well as programming for founder Karen Kleiman’s Training Center. You’ll hear Ashlee share about how Karen, who is a well-known international maternal mental health expert, author, and advocate, founded The Postpartum Stress Center in Pennsylvania in 1988. Since that time, The Postpartum Stress Center has served as a specialty treatment practice for those experiencing emotional health challenges in pregnancy and postpartum and now also offers advanced trainings for perinatal therapists. Ashlee talks through how Karen’s therapeutic intervention, known as “The Art of Holding Perinatal Women in Distress” informs the care that she and her team deliver to moms and partners who are experiencing mood and anxiety disorders. So before we start, let me share with you that my guest today wins the award for the first and hopefully last guest who has been open to making her episode a maternal mental health and true crime mash-up. All of that and more, next.

On this episode, I welcome seasoned mom of two, psychologist, and executive director of Postpartum Support International, Dr. Wendy Davis. I had the good fortune of meeting Wendy years ago when I was first starting to specialize in the pregnancy and postpartum mental health field. Since our first meeting, she has been inspirational in my work with moms and families and when you hear her next, you’ll hear why. Listen in as Wendy shares her experience with depression and anxiety in the postpartum period after the birth of her oldest child, the value she places on proactive coping and emotional health support planning ahead of having a baby, and how her personal experience has informed her now decades long dedication to supporting and now leading the preeminent perinatal organziation, PSI. You’ll also hear her share some of PSI’s amazing resources, all of which can be found at postpartum.net and include: PSI's Helpline: 1.800.944.4743. You can text in English and Spanish and National Maternal Mental Health Hotline: 1.833.TLC.MAMA (852.6262). And finally, before we get started, let me share Postpartum Support International’s motto – one that offers a non-judgmental message of hope to anyone who might be struggling. You are not alone. You are not to blame. And with help, you will be well.
