For this week's episode, I talk with the Berlin-based wild witch of the colorful arts, NFT holy cvnt, solo mom, feminist-mystic and body-positive human, the one and only Yagama (https://twitter.com/yaga_ma).
Yagama gives us a taste of the wild feminine as we talk about motherhood, womanhood, trauma and pain, ultimately coming to the conclusion that a village of feminine caretakers is all we need.
Enjoy.

S02E10 - Jenna Berendzen - Mother of Two Sons, Psychiatric NP, and Fellow PMADs Survivor
In this episode, Jenna shares a story of hardships, resiliency, and generosity. After the birth of her first son in 2011, Jenna suffered from acute postpartum depression and landed in the Perinatal Psychiatry Inpatient Unit at the University of North Carolina (https://www.med.unc.edu/psych/wmd/patient_care/perinatal-inpatient/) - the same unit our founder, Ariane Audet, attended, six years after Jenna. She talks about this experience as the scariest of her existence, but also one that changed the trajectory of her professional and personal life. She also discusses electing to have a c-section for her own mental and physical health (and loving it), mothering after having lost her parents, and how often grief coexists with love. Finally, she shares her wisdom on how to better support postpartum people, her thoughts on screening for depression and anxiety, and how to help empower new parents in these challenging times.

S02 E09 - Sarah Fraser - On Pregnancy After Loss, Having a Baby After 35, and Loving Our Postpartum Bodies
In this episode, I have the honor to talk with the hilarious Sarah Fraser (https://heyfrase.com/). Sarah is a long-time radio personality, comedian and host of the ever funny podcast The Sarah Fraser Show (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hey-frase-198-oreo/id1064651383?i=1000390851093).
After suffering from a molar pregnancy and gestational trophoblastic disease, she gave birth to a healthy son, the almighty KJ. While on the show, she openly discussed getting pregnant after 35 and being a "geriatric" mother. She talks about building a long and trusting relationship with your OB, being a high-risk pregnant person, and making feeding choices that make sense for you and your baby.
We discuss her postpartum journey and the normalcy of intrusive thoughts, mindful eating and loving our postpartum bodies, as well as the best documentaries out there: it wouldn't be much of an episode with Sarah Fraser if there weren't any pop-culture reference and celebrity gossips!
