Postpartum psychosis is a rare but severe psychiatric emergency that requires rapid recognition, coordinated care, and clear clinical protocols. In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Susan Feingold for an in-depth discussion on the presentation, risk factors, and evidence-based management of postpartum psychosis.

Dr. Feingold examines how postpartum psychosis differs from other perinatal mood disorders, why early symptoms are often missed, and the consequences of delayed intervention. The conversation also explores gaps in screening, challenges at the intersection of obstetrics and psychiatry, and the role of health systems in preventing adverse maternal and infant outcomes.

This episode is designed for clinicians, policymakers, and maternal health advocates seeking a deeper understanding of postpartum psychosis and the structural changes needed to improve identification, treatment, and continuity of care in the postpartum period.

Part Two of Motherhood, My Way continues the conversation with Cheri Bergeron, moving deeper into the realities of choosing yourself while navigating fertility and the path to motherhood.

In this episode, Cheri reflects on what comes after the decision—the emotional weight of waiting, the strength required to keep going, and the inner shifts that happen when plans don’t unfold as expected. We talk about surrendering control, releasing comparison, and learning how to hold both hope and disappointment at the same time.

This part of the conversation centers on self-trust, resilience, and redefining success on the fertility journey. It’s about honoring your intuition, finding peace in uncertainty, and remembering that your worth is not defined by timelines or outcomes. For anyone feeling stretched between longing and letting go, this episode offers reassurance, grounding, and a reminder that your journey—however it unfolds—is deeply valid.
