    More Than a Period: Reclaiming Your Rhythm and Healing Through the Cycle with Sarah Rose Heeley

    Send a text In this illuminating episode of The Yellow Feeling, I sit down with Sarah Rose Heeley—cycle awareness coach, healer, and founder of Empowered Wellness—to explore the deep, often overlooked wisdom of our menstrual cycles. But this isn’t just a conversation about periods—it’s about healing, self-compassion, and reclaiming the parts of ourselves we’ve been taught to ignore. Sarah shares how her daughter’s chronic illness led her on a journey of radical rest, intuitive living, and honoring the rhythm of her body. We dive into the emotional, physical, and spiritual layers of the menstrual cycle, and how tuning into it can be a powerful tool for resilience, especially for mothers and caretakers running on empty. This episode is an invitation to stop pushing, start listening, and remember: your cycle is not a curse—it’s a compass.

    Beyond the Baby Blues: A Conversation on Perinatal Mental Health with Samantha Reaves

    Send a text In this powerful and compassionate episode of The Yellow Feeling, I sit down with Samantha Reaves, MA, PMH-C, a communications specialist with Postpartum Support International (PSI) , to talk all things perinatal mental health. Together, we unpack the difference between the "baby blues" and deeper postpartum conditions like depression, OCD, and anxiety—and how often these experiences are misunderstood, minimized, or missed entirely. Samantha shares her story and the many resources that PSI provides, along with practical tips for navigating the perinatal period with more awareness, gentleness, and support. Whether you’re in the thick of new motherhood or reflecting on your journey years later, this episode is a warm, honest reminder: you are not alone, and help is out there. Let’s keep breaking the stigma—one raw and real story at a time.

    The Days I Couldn’t Breathe: A Postpartum Story

    Send a text This episode comes with a trigger warning. In this deeply vulnerable solo episode, Ashley opens up about the parts of postpartum no one prepares you for — the silent panic, the intrusive thoughts, the mountains of clean laundry that feel heavier than grief. Through raw spoken word poetry and real-time reflection, she invites you into the moments where she felt like she was drowning in plain sight. This isn’t an episode about fixing it. It’s about naming it. And remembering you’re not alone if motherhood has ever felt more like survival than joy. If you need a reminder that you’re still worthy in the mess, this one’s for you. And next week, Ashley sits down with Samantha Reeves from Postpartum Support International to talk about real help, healing, and hope.
