I was delighted to be quoted in this article on about the danger of the FDA's panel on SSRI use during pregnancy and the risks of a black box warning

I hope this comment outrages you. We should all be outraged. PPD/PPA is not a gift. Women are not just "feeling intensely" when suffering from PPD/PPA.

Misinformation and misleading information about and during pregnancy is dangerous. Please keep speaking up about this.

I'm kind of obsessed with and the genius that is The We Do Not Care Club. While directed towards women in midlife, her message applies perfectly (and hilariously) for anyone trying to divest from diet culture, beauty culture, agism, gender expectations, you name it.

But I see so many of my clients struggling with shame and frustration about not being quite ready to reject external standards. Clients who say:
✨ "I believe all of this so deeply, but I cant imagine my body changing."
✨"This message is so great for younger people, but I'm too steeped in this to change.
✨I want to model this for my daughter but I still feel so bad about my (insert body part)
✨ It's great for Ashley Judd to post about this, but she is white and thin, and this can't apply to me

Here's the thing. That's OK! These responses are normal, expected, and make total sense. It's never easy to swim upstream, but I promise you the journey is worth it. Check out some tips to get started.

If you haven't yet, I would encourage you to read excellent piece for about the extremely biased FDA meeting on SSRIS. I'll link to the article in my bio. She distills all the alarming and dangerous nonsense that went on. I'm really glad to see this covered and hope we can all continue to make some noise and shut this down!

I know there is a lot of new to follow, and this story got a little lost, but we need to stay on this issue and get loud. I can't fathom any legitimate data-driven reason why the FDA is considering a black box warning on SSRIS during pregnancy. This is not what the science supports. My best guess is this is a political agenda driven by RFK's bananas views on SSRIs and mental health, and his ablist/bordering on eugenist stance on autism.

Bottom line, this is terrible and we need to push back hard. I'm going to link to the petition started by my colleague , and I would encourage you to write to the FDA(address below), contact your reps, and keep spreading the word. has had some great posts sharing info on this issue, so I'd give her a follow, too.

I blew through Season 2 of from and and would highly recommend it to anyone working in

In addition to the excellent reporting on the experience of pain during c-sections, the part that stood out to me was the simple yet extremely meaningful interventions being implemented to make sure pain is addressed and women's experiences of pain are believed. These same, simple interventions are also super important in reducing incidents of , and I so wish they would be used in all births.

For example:
✨ Speak slowly and listen to a patient's experience
✨Answer questions and provide compassionate guidance
✨If a patient tells you she is afraid, ask them why and truly listen
✨Trust your patient's experience. Believe her

Simple right? Definitely give a listen. Well done

✨"Good moms are selfless." ✨
✨"I'm not supposed to have needs, I'm a mom" ✨
✨" The worst thing anyone could call me is selfish." ✨

I have heard several versions of this sentiment from wonderful moms who feel absolutely terrible about attending to their own needs, or even acknowledging that they have needs at all. The idea that they have a "self" that is deserving of attention, love, and nurture feels like selfishness.

Next time you are feeling for considering your self, point your finger at the real bad guy. Hint?? It's not you.

Patriarchal nonsense, gender norms, are insidious. Get angry about that, and not at yourself. Your needs matter. You get to have a "self" that matters.
