Season 1, Episode 2: Real talk about perinatal mood disorders with Maureen Fura

In this episode, I feature an interview with Maureen Fura, producer and director of the revolutionary film, "Dark Side of the Full Moon", which was intended to increase awareness among providers about the epidemic of depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders during the childbearing year.  Maureen suffered from perinatal OCD, which impassioned her to learn more and spread the word about what has become the MOST COMMON complication of pregnancy.   For anyone wanting a screening for perinatal mood disorders, please email me at [email protected].  Also if you or someone you know is struggling with depression, anxiety, or OCD please check out Postpartum Support International at https://postpartum.net/ or call their HELP Line at 1-800-944-4773 and they can help you with finding proper support channels.  You don't have to suffer through this alone, help is available. In addition, if you are a mama with a baby 3 years of age or younger you are welcome to join my free monthly online Postpartum Mamas' Circle, where we gather for nourishment, support, and connection on the 3rd Wednesday of each month.  You can find out more details and register here:   https://motherflytribe.myshopify.com/pages/postpartum-mamas-circle --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/corina-fitch/message

Midwife, mother, matrescence mentor, and founder of MotherFLY, Corina Fitch and her guests unpack the patriarchal roots and costs of our current cultural models for motherhood - the martyr and the supermom - and collectively speak into being a new matriarchal archetype for sustainable and thriving motherhood- the MotherFLY.
