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.

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 ✨
