Inspired by…Jane Goodall. In her 2025 interview, Jane reminds us not to lose hope. She said loss of hope leads to apathy and inaction. Right now I think many of us have lost hope and are in a collapsed, dissociated state. So here’s a reminder to keep hope alive!

Recently there was an FDA panel on SSRIs during pregnancy that was more politically-motivated than science-backed.

FACT CHECK: SSRIs are often LIFE-SAVING during and after pregnancy. Women need to be able to have conversations with their doctors about appropriate treatment for perinatal anxiety and depression without fear. All medications carry inherent risks to some extent but after years of data on women taking medicines during pregnancy we have gathered a great deal of knowledge and the benefits can often outweigh the (small) risks. Please discuss with a medical professional.

“Letting your baby cry it out is child neglect” or “cry it out instills discipline and is the only way to raise an autonomous child.” These are both posts I was fed in my social media feed today.

To be honest, regardless of our own personal choices, statements like these cause parents to feel shamed, confused, or downright disempowered to make the parenting choices that are right for them and their family.

If you’ve read the books, watched all the reels and feel more confused than ever, you aren’t alone. If you are looking for therapeutic parenting support, whether your kids are 1 or 21, we would love to help you figure out what decisions are right for you, grounded in attachment and evidence-based principles.

We get asked a lot about EMDR - what is EMDR, who should try EMDR, and will EMDR help me?

Everyone is different, and we can’t speak to individual concerns, but EMDR is a body-based trauma treatment offered by trained therapists. EMDR is powerful and effective treatment for processing traumatic memories and experiences.

EMDR also teaches you powerful tools for calming your nervous system and building your inner resilience, learning you can apply to other aspects of your life as well.

Motherhood is a developmental period. In fact, the term Matrescence was coined to describe the period of change that mothers go through (similar to adolescence, the transition from child to adult). Just like other developmental phases of life, this one encompasses changes in biological, psychological, social, environmental, spiritual and other realms. There is no going back. This is a forever change ✨

You’re likely familiar with the motherhood myth, it’s the story that goes like this: motherhood is a blissful joy, all good mothers are selfless, mothers are innately nurturing and it comes naturally. Sound familiar? Did you know it’s not actually based on facts?
Truth is, mothers brains change during pregnancy to be able to better care for their child, but any caregiver who spends quality time with a child will also develop neurological changes to help them better care for a child. Further, developing “mothering” or parenting skills takes time - just like any other skill you will not be good at it in the beginning but you will learn.
