Finding Meaning After Loss: Dr. Erica Rozmid on Grief, Healing, and Radical Acceptance
Oct 2201:03:09Tap to summarizeToday’s conversation is one of those rare ones that will stay with you. I’m joined by Dr. Erica Rozmid, a clinical psychologist, researcher, and founder of Clarity CBT & DBT Center and TFMR Psychologist — where she supports parents who have faced the unimaginable: a termination for medical reasons. Not only does she support them, but has built an ecosystem of providers with this specialty, filling a gap that didn’t exist before. In this episode, Dr. Rozmid opens up about her own story of loss, and how she turned her pain into purpose. We talk about radical acceptance, the DIVE method, the complexities of grief and what it means to build a meaningful life — even when it looks nothing like the one you imagined. Dr. Rozmid shares evidence-based tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, how to regulate the nervous system after trauma, how she helps the decision making process, and the surprising ways we can find clarity, connection, and hope through grief. Whether you’re healing from loss, supporting someone who is, or just navigating a hard season — this episode is a reminder that pain and peace can coexist, and that living well often starts with accepting what is. This episode discusses pregnancy loss, termination for medical reasons (TFMR), and grief. Please listen with care and reach out for support if you need it. If you or someone you know is struggling, you can reach out to Postpartum Support International or text “HELLO” to 988 for mental health support in the U.S. Visit Erica's website Follow Erica on Instagram Connect with me on Instagram ShopMy - What I’m Loving Lately

The mind-body connection and whole body healing with somatic healer Hanna Hanula
Oct 200:59:20Tap to summarizeToday’s guest is Hanna Hanula is a somatic healer, psycho-somatic guide, and intuitive wellness mentor who empowers high achievers — especially women — to reconnect with their bodies, uncover hidden emotional patterns, and transform chronic symptoms into pathways of healing. Hanna is a former financial analyst who transformed her own struggles with anxiety, ADHD, digestive issues, and internal hyperdrive into a deeply embodied practice. She draws from a rich blend of somatic therapy, naturopathy, nutrition, energy work, and intuitive guidance to help clients decode the body’s messages and soften the grip of burnout, tension, and overwhelm. In this conversation, we discuss personal experiences with anxiety and physical symptoms, the impact of childhood trauma, the importance of being present and listening to one's body and practical tools for nervous system regulation and the significance of living authentically and consciously. We discuss: Somatic healing connects the mind and body. Childhood experiences shape our emotional responses. The body holds stories that need to be uncovered. Compassionate guidance is essential in healing. High-functioning individuals often disconnect from their bodies. Practices like humming can strengthen the vagus nerve. Living authentically involves being true to oneself. Mindfulness can help regulate the nervous system. Understanding our adaptations can lead to healing. We are not our diagnoses; we are complex beings. Visit Hanna’s website Follow Hanna on Instagram Connect with me on Instagram ShopMy - What I’m Loving Lately

Perfect doesn’t exist: Real Talk on Modern Motherhood, Mom Guilt, Identity & Inner Work with Dr. Lillit
Jul 2300:48:47Tap to summarizeIn this episode, I’m sitting down with Dr. Lilit, an esteemed clinical psychologist specializing in maternal mental health, helping working mothers navigate the emotional shifts of postpartum and career transitions. She has been featured in Good Housekeeping, Real Simple, and other top outlets, and has appeared on Everything is the Best. While I’m not a mom yet and haven’t experienced this myself….I hope to be soon and am conscious about what an intense (yet wonderful) shift entering motherhood can be. I’ve had so many conversations with friends, colleagues and my mom about how challenging it can be to navigate motherhood, the unique pressures that are placed on women, and how your identity starts to shift. Dr. Lillit and I talk about the messy and beautiful transition into this new role—how it can feel overwhelming, emotional, and like no one really prepares you for it. Dr. Lillit shares her own experiences navigating postpartum, how she supports her clients through the guilt, chaos, and wonders of motherhood, and why knowing yourself is the foundation for everything. Why the transition to motherhood often feels messy and chaotic The delicate balance of being the “best mom” and still investing in yourself What working moms are really struggling with (hint: it’s not just time) The power of inner work—and how to begin, even if you already have kids How to build an intentional support system and village The realities of “mom guilt,” identity loss, and people-pleasing in parenting Ways partners can better support new moms (that don’t involve fixing) How to redefine balance, presence, and what “having it all” actually means What I loved most about this conversation was the emphasis she places on intentional inner work, awareness, really knowing yourself so you can show up as your best self for your family. Whether you're preparing for motherhood, in the thick of postpartum, have older children or are supporting someone who is, this episode brings light to the emotional, mental, and societal pressures moms navigate every day.
