Perinatal OCD / TOC Perinatal — With Ruth Assi, LMSW Bilingual Therapist

<p><strong>Perinatal OCD is way more common than anyone talks about — pero nadie quiere decirlo en voz alta. This episode changes that.</strong></p><p>I&#39;m joined by Ruth Assi, LMSW a bilingual therapist in Texas, para hablar de algo que muchas mamás viven en silencio: perinatal OCD. Ruth gets real about her own 32-hour labor, the &quot;I can do this alone&quot; mentality that almost stopped her from asking for help, and how that same independence followed her straight into new motherhood — hasta que se dio cuenta de que necesitaba un cambio.</p><p><br></p><p>We get into what perinatal OCD actually looks like — los pensamientos intrusivos, the checking, the guilt — and why it&#39;s so often mistaken for just being &quot;a careful mom.&quot; Ruth breaks down the difference between normal new-mom worry and something that needs support, how family can accidentally reinforce the cycle instead of helping, y por qué pedir ayuda nunca significa que eres una mala madre.</p><p>Si esto suena como algo que tú o alguien que conoces está viviendo — this one&#39;s for you. </p><p><br></p><p>Learn more about working with Ruth <a href="https://therapywithruthassi.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">here</a></p><p></p><p></p>

No Country for Mothers: Genevieve on Motherhood, Identity, and Why This Film Matters

<p>In Part 2 of my No Country for Mothers series, I&#39;m sitting down with Genevieve Havemeyer-King, one of the moms featured in the documentary produced by Moms First. Genevieve is a mom to a three-year-old daughter, and she opens up about becoming a mother.</p><p>We talk about the identity shift that comes with motherhood, that moment you realize your home can be perfectly prepared, but the world outside, is not. Genevieve getsreal about what it meant to see herself, and her story, reflected on screen for the first time at the film&#39;s premiere.</p><p>This conversation is for every mom who&#39;s ever felt like the world wasn&#39;t built for her and her kids, but it&#39;s also for partners, employers, and anyone who loves a mother. </p><p>Genevieve makes the case, for why care work deserves to be seen as the foundation it truly is, and she leaves us with something intentional: an invitation for us to host our own watch party. Just for your family. Just for your mom. That&#39;s how the conversation keeps going.</p><p><strong>In this episode, we cover:</strong></p><p>●   Becoming a mom as the world was still navigating COVID</p><p>●     Why Genevieve said yes to being part of the No Country for Mothers documentary</p><p>●     Why this film is for moms, partners, employers and everybody</p><p> </p><p>If this episode moves you, share it with the moms in your life and consider hosting your own No Country for Mothers watch party. Sometimes that&#39;s how we start the conversations that matter most.</p><p><br></p><p>Genevieve is a mother, artist, and cultural heritage worker featured in the documentary No Country for Mothers, produced by Moms First. Her story in the film explores the everyday realities of being a working mom navigating a new job, a new city, and the search for support in a world that isn&#39;t always built for mothers.</p><p><br></p><p>Learn more about hosting a screening for No Country for Mothers or find a screening near you <a href="https://momsfirst.us/doc/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22461278824&gbraid=0AAAAA_Wf9-YQCowpglKK1WYgphJgsSwAF&gclid=CjwKCAjw1IHTBhAaEiwA4AYNFhGrKkHY4b_sC_ECRETrNXHZjO_8MsKsfpUSwtGoKiXSu_LS2woWMhoCpdQQAvD_BwE" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">here</a></p><p><br></p>

It's Not You, It's the System: 5 Moms on Mom Guilt, Burnout & 'No Country for Mothers'

<p>You&#39;re not failing, the system was never built for you. In this episode, five moms sit down with me to talk mom burnout, comparison culture, and what it actually took to feel less alone.</p><p>I recently attended the premiere of No Country for Mothers, a new documentary from Moms First, and I brought five moms who&#39;d become associate producers on the film into this conversation. We talk about mom guilt, invisible labor, and why so many of us think we&#39;re just &quot;not doing motherhood right&quot; when really, we were never given the infrastructure to succeed in the first place.</p><p><br></p><p>Inside this episode:<br> What drew each mom to the documentary and the moment it became personal<br> &quot;The pregnant princess and the postpartum pauper&quot; why we&#39;re supported until the baby comes, then forgotten<br> Being laid off eight months pregnant, and the &quot;no winning&quot; trap of stay-at-home vs. working mom<br></p><p> Why resilience shouldn&#39;t be an excuse for a country with no support system for mothers<br> How five strangers became a real friendship in one night</p><p>This one&#39;s for every mom who&#39;s ever thought I&#39;m fine, I&#39;ve got this, while quietly falling apart on the inside... You are not alone in this.</p><p>With so much gratitude to the moms who made this conversation possible: Claire Hoon, Seleene D&#39;Souza, Victoria Eisen, Fatouma Jatta, and Brittani Cotton. Thank you for trusting me with your stories.</p><p>Find a screening of &quot;No Country for Mothers&quot; near you: <a href="https://momsfirst.us/doc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">here</a></p><p></p><p><br></p><p></p>
