Women in midlife have so many things that are changing in our lives: our hormones, our families (empty nest, parents that need more support, and for many that impacts our primary relationship), we want more from our friendships, and are starting to ask the big questions, like, "What IS my purpose here?" By focusing on our health, we can uncover so much self-empowerment.  Learn more at https://elizabethsherman.com/ About FemCity // Join FemCity with a complimentary Community Membership!It’s the perfect way to sample our Membership, attend local events, meet FemCity Founder, Violette de Ayala and see if the FemCity vibe is a good fit for you.

    Navigating Maternal Mental Health: Insights with Dr. Cristie Ritz-King

    Tune in to the latest episode of the FemCity Podcast, where FemCity CEO Violette de Ayala sits down with Dr. Cristie Ritz-King, a member of the FemCity Founder’s Circle, and trauma therapist, maternal mental health specialist, and mindfulness teacher. Together, they delve into the crucial topic of maternal mental health, exploring the realities of burnout and offering valuable insights and strategies. Don't miss this empowering and informative conversation! Dr. Cristie Ritz King // Cristie Ritz-King, is a Doctor of Psychology with a specialty in trauma and postpartum maternal mental health. She is passionate about helping new moms manage the huge transition to parenting and seasoned parents learning to navigate the transitions that kids of all ages go through. She is available for 1-1 counseling, and group support at WonderIncWellness.com (in Red Bank) and she’s created online support for parents of all stages at ReinventionMom.com. Before becoming a counselor, Cristie worked as a doula, a health coach and a teacher in public and private schools for 12 years. Maybe most important though is she is mom to three nearly grown humans with three very different types of needs. So in addition to training, she is in the trenches, juggling motherhood, relationships, career and self-care. She gets it. Cristie’s kids may be closer to college than diapers, but she remembers the tricky years and is eager to help all parents get exactly what they need to feel supported and empowered on this journey.
