    Empowering advice
    Doctor Kat provides a platform where serious conversations about postpartum depression are talked about. It’s so healing to have these discussions had in the open without shame, but rather with empowerment.

    LET’S ALL HELP EACH OTHER OUT!
    I have found this particular podcast to be one of the best and most accessible ones out there for new or second time around moms and parents. Why? Because the speakers that Dr. Kat chooses come from a multitood of backgrounds and experiences in this concentration. You will inevitably come across yourself in one of these speakers OR hear some sound advice or experience from a professional in the field. I have played this podcast for my clients as well as some of my pre and postnatal students and they always comment of how authentic the subject matters and people are. You are NOT alone, and you certainly donlt need to feel like you are after listening to one of these.

    An On-going Resource
    This podcasts consistently brings great guests and talks about essential topics. It’s my on-going resource for maternal mental health info and stories. I recommend it to my graduate pediatrician speech-language pathology students so they can know where to continue learning about caregiver mental contexts when providing caregiver collaboration.

    Informative and science based
    If you’re interested in learning about maternal mental health, Mom & Mind is a must-listen. Dr. Kat covers all the scenarios and conditions around perinatal mental health, and is science based. Highly recommend for any new parent or those around new parents. Really helps understand what someone could be going through without even knowing. She offers great techniques and resources to help those in need of maternal mental health.

    Genuine and Real!
    So many moms who I work with struggle with postpartum depression, anxiety, and overall lowered quality of life after becoming a mom. This podcast is SO helpful in bringing this to light, normalizing it, and bringing inspiration that improving the overall quality of life for mothers is possible!

    Postpartum anxiety
    I’m a first time listener and I couldn’t explain to my husband the way I feel. The first episode I heard I felt understood I felt that I wasn’t alone that there’s other mom’s like me. I was able to share the podcast with my husband he understands the way I feel now. Thank you for this space you give to moms that are going thru a difficult time. We are trying we are warriors ♥️

    Thank you Dr. Kat for your podcast. Episode 169 is my story . Hearing it made me feel so much better because even Though I went through therapy I always had the guilt that maybe I’m “over reacting “ . This podcast is amazing. I hope for using your podcast to help my continuous healing .

  • Heidi McBain
    The most informative podcast on PPMD!
    I started listening to this podcast to learn more professionally, so I can better help mothers. What I didn’t realize was how much I would learn about myself and my own motherhood journey through this process. Dr. Kat is not only highly trained and super smart, she is also down-to-earth and very real with her listeners. From her very first podcast where she lets herself be vulnerable and shares her personal story, to all the amazing interviews she has conducted, I have learned so much new and important information. I am thankful to have this podcast in my life, and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to make a difference in a mother’s life!

    A Much Needed Resource
    I listen to this podcast regularly and it has significantly reduced my feelings of isolation as a mother. It is so comforting to hear the stories of others, and to know that I am not alone in my shame, my sadness, my anger, and my joy. Thank you for helping so many women.

    Mom and Mind
    I'm grateful to Dr. Kaeni and the work she does to create awareness to perinatal mood disorders. Her podcasts are always informative and I personally have learned so much from each one. Highly recommended!
  • AbundantAllison
    Such an Important Podcast
    If I had listened to this podcast when I had PPD in 2013, I know it would have buoyed me. Her blend of providing info/expertise as well as personal experiences would have helped me feel much less alone and more hopeful. I have no doubt it's making people's lives better during a very hard time and helping clinicians who work with this population understand the the complexity of perinatal mood disorders.
  • CatLMFT

    Validating and important
    I am so grateful to have found this podcast by Dr. Kat, both as a mom and a mental health professional. Informative and non-judgemental, Dr. Kat begins by sharing her own experiences with PMADs, which is disarming and validating. Can't wait to hear more!

    Compassionate and meaningful
    Appreciated how the challenges and stress that so many moms experience with breastfeeding was addressed in a compassionate and meaningful way. I experienced this myself and struggled with feelings of guilt, shame and "not-enoughness" - and I know that this conversation will be provide much needed support to so many moms who also struggle w/ breastfeeding.
