Did you know roughly 1 in 6 postpartum women experience OCD symptoms? It is one of those things that is way more common than we realize and not talked about enough! This week, Sarah is joined by Jenna Overbaugh, LPC, an anxiety and OCD expert with nearly 20 years of experience, personal experience with OCD, AND an upcoming book, Making Peace with a Noisy Mind.

They get into the nitty-gritty of postpartum OCD, intrusive vs. ruminating thoughts, and the scary thoughts so many moms are terrified to say out loud for fear of being labeled a “bad mom.” Plus, we discuss what to look out for, how to support someone you love, and how to get help without shame or judgment. Because this is WAY more common than expected ❤️

It’s Halloween week! 🎃 And we’re celebrating with a Motherhood SPOOKTACULAR.

Think of the things that make every mom (or soon-to-be mom) absolutely SHUDDER: raw chicken in the first trimester, the dreaded hand IV, hearing a cry come through the monitor RIGHT AFTER YOU JUST LAID YOUR HEAD DOWN. OH MY GOD.

Many of YOU submitted your spookiest motherhood moments, and Sarah is reading them all in this very spooky, very relatable episode. PLUS she tackles some truly terrifying topics of her own, like the return of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show and preparing for a 2-year-old birthday party.

SCARY 👻

If dealing with one baby can feel overwhelming, imagine doing it with TWO at the exact same time! This week, special guest Alyssa Duffy (AKA @alisted) gets into the hot seat to chat all things twin motherhood, fertility and more. We discuss the logistics of managing two babies at once, the parenting and life hacks Alyssa has picked up along the way, what she wishes she had known before becoming a twin mom, and her best advice for other moms navigating the beautiful chaos of raising multiples.

But this episode isn’t just for the twin moms! Alyssa has also been incredibly open about her fertility journey in recent years. We talk about fertility, family planning, motherhood, and all of the complicated emotions that can come with trying to grow a family and making tough decisions along the way. It's a great one!
