In this episode, we’re joined by Tami Gaines, author of Preemie Parents and mother of micro-preemie twins born at 25 weeks. Drawing from her lived experience navigating the NICU, Tami speaks to the emotional and spiritual journey of NICU parenthood—the parts that often go unspoken and can feel invisible amid medical updates and uncertainty. Together, we explore how parents and caregivers can find meaning, resilience, and growth during an experience they never planned for. Tami’s work has been featured in the New York Daily News, New Jersey News 12, and on dozens of podcasts and blogs, offering hope and connection to families walking the NICU path.

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.
