98. Postpartum Depression, Maternal Mental Health & Healing the Mother Wound with Dr. Cristie Ritz-King
In this episode with Trauma Therapist & Parenting Coach Dr. Cristie Ritz-King we talk all about maternal mental health, surviving postpartum depression and facing the mother wound.
MORE ABOUT CRISTIE:
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.

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.

94. Thriving After Domestic Violence & Leaving Toxic Relationships with Lianne Torres
In this episode, Lianne Torres - host of the podcast Watch Us Thrive - shares all about her journey to thriving after experiencing domestic violence and leaving a toxic relationship
TRIGGER WARNING: we discuss domestic violence in this episode and realize it may be triggering for some people.
More about Lianne:
Watch Us Thrive is a personal development podcast that talks about mental health, healing from trauma that keeps us stuck in toxic, sh*tty relationships & how we can reconnect with our inner magic
Founder, CEO & Host, Lianne Torres, has been on her personal development journey since early 2021. After escaping a physically & emotionally abusive relationship, she realized she was attracting the same type of toxic partner over & over again. She was the common denominator in those relationships and knew it was time for a hard reset in order to begin healing her inner shadows.
In the process of her journey to healing, Lianne started her podcast, Watch Us Thrive, to share the life stories of what she’s gone through. It has since become a beautiful & safe platform where guests come on to share their own life experiences of turning their pain into power and trauma into triumph.
Lianne is passionate AF about helping listeners heal from their own life experiences by candidly sharing her own and the stories of others. The Watch Us Thrive podcast is a safe space to normalize having tough, taboo conversations and be a voice for the voiceless.
