Episode 69: Andrea Lessard | Stillborn

[Trigger warning for expecting moms] We're so grateful to have Andrea in the studio this week to talk about her daughter Emery and her experience with her stillbirth. Andrea's perspective on loss, love, and her ability to continue to celebrate Emery's life is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Her daughter, Emery Grace has taught her the power of grief and is inspiring Andrea's approach to life.

Excited to have Ashley in the studio to help us discuss different forms of anxiety and unpack solutions.

Episode 67: Amy Patterson | OCD + ADHD

Adult diagnoses are often not discussed, which is exactly why our conversation with Amy is so critical. She wasn't diagnosed with ADHD until adulthood (thanks to her determination!) and not until she became a mom, that she was diagnosed with OCD. We hope this episodes inspires others to seek medical testing and intervention, no matter the age!
