At Home with Kelly + Tiffany

Episode 56:
Join us as we welcome Abby Burd onto the podcast, a perinatal mental health specialist, as we chat about postpartum mood disorders.
This topic is much needed in discussions around women's health. Postpartum depression affects 1 in 7 women, and postpartum anxiety affects 1 in 5 women. Wow!
Come along as we discuss what makes women more likely to get a postpartum mood disorder and how to work with those risk factors ahead of time to prevent postpartum depression.
Listen to the real talk about the stigma and shame that surround mental health and the barriers to meaningful help that women face. Abby gives some great tips on how to manage the pressure that moms should "have it all together" and provides action steps for moving forward.
Learn what postpartum moods and emotions are normal and best practices for a supportive recovery time with your new baby, no matter where on the spectrum you land.

We hope you learn something new, connect some dots about mental health and ultimately feel equipped to talk about this topic more authentically with the women in your life.

Episode 52:
Join us in welcoming our guest, Lisa Hendrickson-Jack for the second half of this two-part series all about birth control, hormones and fertility. (Hop back to Episode 51 to hear the first half!)
We begin this episode in the middle of a conversation about understanding your menstrual cycle, why hormonal birth control doesn't fix or cure period problems, and how to empower and advocate for your best reproductive wellness and health.
Lisa shares that although the missing link in women's health empowerment is education, finding the right information, support and mindset is key. Because there is so much fear surrounding pregnancy and understanding fertility, our biggest work as women is moving from the head space of understanding and into the heart space of feeling and knowing.
Listen as we chat about the best ways to approach getting off hormonal contraceptives, and making a plan to prepare and support your body. Lisa also gives a realistic timeline of how long it takes to get a normal cycle back once birth control is discontinued.
Review with us which period symptoms are not normal and what to do about menstrual imbalances. You'll hear the side effects of the the pill including what deficiencies it creates, what toxicities is leaves behind and how to support your system as you transition away from hormonal contraceptives.
Lisa demonstrates the actionable steps for women who want to use a fertility awareness method as their main form of birth control. The sympto-thermal method being the most effective at a whopping 99.4% accuracy rate when done well.
You'll finish this episode feeling more aware, more empowered, and completely capable of beginning to read fertility signs as a marker for general health.
Lisa is the host of the Fertility Friday Podcast, and is a Certified Fertility Awareness Educator, Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner and the author of The Fifth Vital Sign.
