I AM ONE Podcast
Postpartum Support International (PSI) staff and volunteers reflect on their own lived experience during the perinatal period (pregnancy + postpartum). Guests will explain how they sought & received help, and how they’re supporting the mental health of new families now. We’ll illustrate PSI’s core belief, that “You are not alone; You are not to blame; With help you will be well,” through storytelling. Each episode will demonstrate that none of us are alone, and that no matter our story, we can all say, “I AM ONE,” of many who are touched by Perinatal Mental Health Disorders (PMHD). Whether you’re seeking stories from someone who’s been there, or looking for a way to channel your passion for perinatal mental health advocacy, we hope to offer encouragement while making room for the serious and the silly. There is strength in processing trauma and empowerment in sharing stories – so that’s what we’re here to do!
I AM ONE Podcast
NICOLE MCNELIS - I AM ONE Angry Mother
On today’s episode, we’re sitting down with Nicole McNelis - speaker, writer, therapist-mom & mom therapist. For anyone who attended PSI’s 2024 Annual conference in Washington, DC - you may remember Nicole from the highly-attended session that she led on rage. And if you didn’t attend, I’m sure you heard all kinds of buzz about that session afterward because this is a topic that people are READY to talk about. We’ll chat about compromised needs, violated expectations & "good enough parenting" ... oh, and our plans for a little meet-up to try the Philly's best cheesesteak. Anyone want to join us? Make sure to stick around to the very end of the lightning round, when we ask Nicole a question that brings all 3 of us to tears. We laugh, we cry, we say the quiet thoughts out loud. So, without any further ado, please sit back, relax, and enjoy this episode with our friend, Nicole.
