1 week ago

A real, raw and necessary podcast hosted by Tara and Kennedy who will be providing their unfiltered experiences with motherhood. We will not hold back or filter our own experience, feelings, and opinions when it comes to all things motherhood – from pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond. Motherhood can feel overwhelming, exhausting, and isolating – especially when you add a layer of trauma to it, but you don’t have to do it alone. Follow along with us as we navigate motherhood, ask questions, and share stories in hope to build and unite a community through our voices. Get ready to get candid, unfiltered, and real, because we are all sharing this digital space together. We would like to provide a trigger warning as there will be mentions of trauma in many forms. We are not professional or licensed therapists and cannot provide professional advice, however, we can relate and provide our own personal experiences and lessons that we have learned along the way.

EPISODE 12 — Interview With A Mental Health Therapist

In this weeks episode, Kennedy takes her first solo venture on the podcast and interviews a mental health therapist named Tiana Fusco who is based out of New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, but travels throughout the province to work with people struggling with mental health and addictions and works closely with Indigenous people throughout the province. Tiana briefly shares her experience with In Vitro Fertilization, pregnancy, postpartum, and her motherhood experience overall before providing some profound insight for women who are currently in the trenches right now. We discuss boundaries, boundary setting, feeling disrespected, tips for navigating trauma while dealing with postpartum, tips for coping with trauma that resurfaces during postpartum, mom burnout, the mental load of motherhood and how to navigate that, some advice for women who may be interested in starting therapy but are apprehensive, and some advice on what partners can do to help their partner navigate trauma and postpartum. Phew! This weeks episode is a good one and we are excited for you to listen.

TRIGGER WARNING: In this weeks episode, there are mentions of in vitro fertilization, trauma, postpartum depression and anxiety, loss of a parent, and a strained sibling relationship due to substance use. If any of these topics are triggering, listen at your own discretion.
