    375: A Physician’s Journey Through Loss, Birth, and Postpartum with Dr. Phindile Chowa

    We often mistakenly think physicians are immune to postpartum challenges, but nothing could be further from the truth. Today’s guest shares her story of pregnancy loss, traumatic birth, and intense postpartum difficulties. From feeling shamed and unsupported, therapy helped her find a place of forgiveness and a healthy mental space for herself. Join us to learn more! Dr. Phindile Chowa is an emergency-trained physician currently practicing in Georgia. She attended the University of Pittsburgh for her undergraduate studies and medical school, completing her residency at Harvard. With several years of experience in a large academic hospital, she swiftly ascended to an administrative role within the emergency department, focusing on enhancing the patient experience. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she witnessed transformative changes in healthcare delivery, motivating her to redefine her medical practice. Determined to restore dignity to patient care, she established the concierge medical practice, EMCare2U, where she provides personalized healthcare services to individuals and families. With a particular emphasis on postpartum care, she wrote the book What to Expect Next, a postpartum guide to assist mothers planning for a healthy postpartum journey. Dr. Chowa also hosts the podcast, Fourth Trimester Voices, where she creates a platform for meaningful conversations surrounding postpartum challenges, maternal health, and healthcare advocacy. The podcast amplifies the voices of mothers, healthcare professionals, and advocates to share their stories, insights, and support for navigating the postpartum experience.  Show Highlights: Dr. Chowa’s path to emergency medicine that began in her childhood Her first pregnancy, miscarriage, and the accompanying trauma A second pregnancy full of fear and anxiety, which culminated in a traumatic birth and a NICU stay Breastfeeding and sleeping issues—and a very challenging first few weeks at home with a newborn The postpartum screening test with a low score and no resources to help her A difficult night that led to drastic action and an eye-opening conversation with her mother Finding therapy, getting help, and learning to take a “me-centered” approach Learning forgiveness and finding ways to get more sleep and break down intrusive thoughts Helping others with a new post-COVID perspective of medicine Transitioning to concierge medicine and personalized care Collaborative care and medical advocacy What’s normal and NOT normal in postpartum care Dr. Chowa’s podcast, Fourth Trimester Voices, to show moms that they are not alone The need to fine-tune postpartum care in a comprehensive and holistic way Resources: Connect with Dr. Phindile Chowa Website, Instagram, Facebook (Join the postpartum support group, Beyond the Fourth Trimester.), and Fourth Trimester Voices podcast Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visit cdph.ca.gov Please find resources in English and Spanish at Postpartum Support International, or by phone/text at 1-800-944-4773.

    373: Breaking Barriers: Transforming Maternal Mental Health Care with Paige Bellenbaum, LCSW

    You are in for a treat as we hear from someone who is fully committed to the advocacy and activism it takes to make a difference in the lives of new moms. She is relentless in her fight and the scope of her work is far-reaching. I’m excited to be joined by Paige Bellenbaum for today’s show.  Paige Bellenbaum is a social worker, founding director, and Chief External Relations Officer at The Motherhood Center of New York. This place is doing phenomenal work in the field of perinatal mental health, helping push the dial forward on the kind of care that new moms who are suffering should be receiving. She’s been able to put forth legislation in NY to help mothers by mandating hospitals to provide education and encourage screening for all new and expectant mothers. Paige has worked in public policy, advocacy, community organizing, and in direct practice with disadvantaged communities. Paige shares her experience as a mom and how it brought her into this work. After Paige’s first child was born, the postpartum depression and anxiety she experienced nearly ended her life. When she began to heal, her relentless fight began for education, screening, and treatment so that no one has to suffer. She continues to work closely with multiple NYC agencies on maternal mental health best practices and policies, and she was a member of the NYC Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Review Committee as well as currently sitting on the NYS Maternal Mental Health Working Group. Paige has appeared on numerous TV news shows and major media platforms in an ongoing effort to get the word out about maternal mental health. She helps us understand the importance of education, treatment, and screening, and why higher levels of care are essential for those experiencing moderate to severe perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.  Show Highlights: Paige’s journey into the work she does today, beginning 18 years ago with the birth of her son Paige’s anger that led to a new law in New York to require screening and education for new moms An overview of Paige’s bill and what it took to get it into law The changes in maternal mental health awareness over the past few years The suffering is REAL for many mothers. Validating women’s experiences and building a sense of community Education and screening are vital to help people recognize the signs and symptoms of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Details about The Motherhood Center in NYC and the scope of their work  “This is just the beginning.” Paige’s message: “Lift your voice and tell your story. Your story is power–and it can move mountains.” Resources: Connect with Paige Bellenbaum and The Motherhood Center: Website and Instagram Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visit cdph.ca.gov Please find resources in English and Spanish at Postpartum Support International, or by phone/text at 1-800-944-4773.

    I’m happy to welcome back a previous guest on the podcast. Lynn Wilhite is a licensed clinical social worker who joined me for Episode 263, Coping with Treatment-Resistant Depression. Things have changed for Lynn since she has recently been diagnosed with autism, ADHD, and PTSD. She shares the impact of her diagnoses and how she’s making connections about why things were so difficult for her in the past. Her insights help us understand how the many layers and factors of ADHD and autism have complicated her journey. Lynn has paused her work in therapy and social work to focus on her healing, understand her diagnoses, and learn more about her son’s autism diagnosis. She feels passionate about bringing neurodivergence into the postpartum conversation, along with normalizing and destigmatizing autism and other forms of neurodivergence for new moms. She is currently writing a book about her postpartum and parenthood journey. Join us to learn more from Lynn’s story! Show Highlights: Developments in Lynn’s life since her last visit to Mom & Mind The prevalence of parents being diagnosed with autism alongside their children Lynn’s diagnostic process—and how her struggles in life began to make sense Stereotypical autism vs. female autism A constant battle of “defending” a diagnosis Medical gaslighting that women have to endure for themselves and their children Autism’s part in the challenges of pregnancy and postpartum, even in the smallest details Autism’s effects in Lynn’s life “Should I have even had a child?” Depression and anxiety are highly comorbid with autism.

    371: Behind the Sessions: Signs and Symptoms of Postpartum Depression with Dr. Kat

    In my therapy practice, I meet with moms at all stages of their reproductive journeys. It is a consistent thing that perinatal mental health conditions sneak up on people. Many new moms don’t know when to be concerned and when to seek help for perinatal depression, which can happen at any point in the reproductive journey and worsen in the postpartum. It’s important to notice the signs and symptoms. Let’s take a closer look! Show Highlights: The “baby blues” vs. postpartum depression—”How do I tell the difference?” Symptoms that signify a deeper problem and possible postpartum depression Identifying issues with eating and sleeping patterns that could point to postpartum depression Postpartum depression differs in context from generalized depression. Feelings of failure, self-criticism, and isolation as a new mother “I FEEL bad because I AM bad.” Postpartum depression is relatively common (Around 20% of mothers will experience it.) Difficulty bonding with a new baby can indicate postpartum depression. Thoughts about the stigma of postpartum depression and the fear of judgment Good news! There is help and free support available. You CAN get better! Dr. Kat’s advice about what you can do RIGHT NOW Resources: Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visit cdph.ca.gov Please find resources in English and Spanish at Postpartum Support International, or by phone/text at 1-800-944-4773.

    368: Behind the Sessions: Postponing Sleep: Time Alone or Anxiety?

    Today’s episode covers a common problem I see with clients in therapy; it’s the issue of fighting sleep. People are exhausted, running on empty, and not getting the sleep they need. When the kids go to bed, there is an urge to stay awake and get things done or have alone time when your body is screaming for the sleep it needs. During the perinatal time, the loss of sleep is prevalent in many instances and impacts every area of life! Join me for more!  Show Highlights: Time for relaxation, decompression, and autonomy shouldn’t take priority over sleep. Is there avoidance going on? Avoidance of sleep can be related to trauma or PTSD. A cycle of repeatedly pushing sleep back leaves you frayed, irritable, anxious, and depressed. No judgment from me, but a gentle urging to take an honest look at your sleep challenges Look to compromise by guarding the nights you stay up to have alone time, but prioritize your sleep on other nights. Tips for promoting good sleep Resources: Please find resources in English and Spanish at Postpartum Support International, or by phone/text at 1-800-944-4773. There are many free resources, like online support groups, peer mentors, a specialist provider directory, and perinatal mental health training for therapists, physicians, nurses, doulas, and anyone who wants to be a better support in offering services.  You can also follow PSI on social media: Instagram, Facebook, and most other platforms Visit www.postpartum.net/professionals/certificate-trainings/ for information on the grief course.   Visit my website, www.wellmindperinatal.com, for more information, resources, and courses you can take today!
