  • The High Cost of 'I'm Fine': The Truth About High-Functioning Anxiety and Invisible Depression
    Most women don’t look like they’re falling apart—even when they’re struggling to stay afloat.

It comes at a cost.In this heart-opening episode of On Health, Aviva sits down with UK-based psychotherapist and author Helen Marie to explore:🔹 Why high-functioning anxiety, burnout, and people-pleasing often go unseen🔹 How supresseds stress lives in the body—and what our nervous systems are trying to tell us🔹 The basics of Polyvagal Theory and how to map your nervous system🔹 What it means to “meet your nervous system where it’s at”🔹 Somatic practices like tapping and cupping to gently bring your body back to safety🔹 The quiet power of journaling, boundaries, and emotional truth🔹 How to take one small step toward choosing you—without guilt or shameThis episode is for anyone who’s ever whispered “I’m fine” while quietly falling apart—and is ready to begin reclaiming calm, connection, and self-worth, one kind breath at a time.Looking for supplements for yourself and your family, including some of those I talk about in episodes?

  • Reclaiming Postpartum: A New (Old) Model of Mama + Baby Care
    What if the way we care for new mothers is all wrong?Not just lacking. Not just outdated. But built on a model that misses the heart and soul of what postpartum truly is — and what it could be.When I was a home birth midwife, postpartum care was the care. I'd visit mamas and babies at home five or six times in the first few weeks. We’d talk about everything — from latch to lochia, sleep deprivation to soul shifts. It wasn’t "extra." It was essential.It’s part of why I went into medicine, because as a midwife I saw too often, how in this precious, vulnerable, formative window for mothers and babies - care just disappeared for the mother after the baby was born. A first visit may have been 6 or 8 weeks after the birth, by which time mothers were struggling alone with overwhelm, breastfeeding challenges, or worse, anxiety, depression, isolation, and sometimes they’d given up breastfeeding because they had no support. And when they did get care, all too often they had to sit in waiting rooms, a baby and toddler often in tow, waiting for an appointment only to get 15 minutes with a doctor whose had no idea to support mothers postpartum. This week on On Health, I’m joined by my long-time colleague and kindred spirit Dr. Eva Zasloff — a fellow family physician, artist, mother, and fellow revolutionary in postpartum care — to talk about the radical simplicity and profound necessity of caring for mothers in their homes, in their own rhythm, and on their own terms. Inside the Episode We Talk About:The surprising (and heartbreaking) truth about conventional postpartum visitsWhy 20-minute clinic appointments can do more harm than goodEva’s bold leap from family doctor to founder of Tova Health — a home-based, whole-person care model serving over 600 familiesThe “twilight zone” of early motherhood — and how we can hold space for itWhat home visits offer that clinic visits never canWhy postpartum depression and anxiety are often symptoms of a broken systemThe healing power of birth stories, coconut oil massages, and Zoom mama circles that make a differenceWhat Eva is doing with Tova Health, and what I’m doing with The Mama Pathway, are not just beautiful experiences for mothers— they’re necessary for maternal health. It’s a return to wisdom we’ve always known. And it’s a model I dream of seeing in communities everywhere.If you’re a doula, a midwife, a family doc, or a mama (or someone who loves one), this episode will touch you deeply — and perhaps inspire you to bring this care into your own community or at least raise your awareness about the importance of listening to, being with, and supporting new mothers.

  • [Replay] The Hidden Motherhood Struggle with Catherine Birndorf and Paige Bellenbaum
    In recognition of Maternal Mental Health Month I am re-sharing this 2023 conversation with the founders of The Motherhood Center in NYC. With Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADS) being the #1 complication associated with birth in the US and the #2 cause of maternal mortality, this remains a critical conversation.It’s not just you. You're not crazy. You're not a bad mom. You're not alone. These are words and deep beliefs that resonate through and form the backbone of today’s guests, Catherine Birndorf, MD, and Paige Bellenbaum, LMSW. Catherine and Paige are dedicated to changing the perinatal mental health terrain, and they do it through The Motherhood Center, a place of radical acceptance, nurturance, and individual and group support. On today’s episode, we pull back the curtain on motherhood and redefine what is considered "normal" and "typical". With PMADs (perinatal mood and anxiety disorders) being the #1 complication associated with birth and the #2 cause of maternal mortality, this is a critical conversation. On today’s episode, we unpack why it’s so important that we talk more about these conditions, how to do your best to prevent PMADs, and what to do if you or someone you love has symptoms. Aviva, Paige, and Catherine discuss: The definition of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADS) and the different diagnoses that fall under the PMAD umbrella What PMAD taboos still exist today, why this needs to change, and how Roe v. Wade affects these taboos Paige and Catherine’s personal stories with perinatal mood disorders and what brought them to the point of specializing in PMADS and opening the motherhood center The kinds of physical and psychological feelings and symptoms associated with PMADs and signs birthing people and their providers should watch out for Why we need to move in the direction of making it mandatory for OB-GYNs, midwives, pediatricians, and any providers who come in contact with newer expecting mothers to begin educating their patients about PMADS and screening for symptoms The effects of the pandemic, social isolation, and potential cultural contributors on PMADS The role of medication and psychotherapy in treating conditions For more information or to reach out visit themotherhoodcenter.com or call (212) 335-0034.

  • Breastfeeding Challenges, Tongue Tie, & Trusting Your Instincts

She’s spent decades supporting parents through the intense, sacred, and often confusing path of breastfeeding—especially when things don’t go as planned.Lisa’s journey from hospital-based nurse and midwife to fierce advocate for women’s rights and breastfeeding education is one you won’t forget. And what we unpack in this conversation might change how you see everything from nipple pain to infant sleep—and even adult airway health.In this episode, we dive into:What exactly is an IBCLC—and why it mattersThe silent struggle of mastitis, milk supply issues, and painHow breastfeeding shapes your baby’s airway—and possibly lifelong healthThe heartbreak of not making enough milk—and how to support yourselfSetting yourself up for breastfeeding success before the baby comesWhy so many moms stop breastfeeding before they want to—and how we can change thatAnd yes… we go there with nipple toughening myths, lactation cookies, pumping in broom closets, and airplane glares. Because we’ve all been there—or know someone who has.💬 Favorite Quotes:“Breastfeeding is a vital sign of the infant-maternal dyad. If it’s not working, we need to ask why.” — Lisa Paladino“We’re grown-ass women. Nobody should be telling us what we’re ‘allowed’ to do in birth or postpartum.” — Aviva RommIn this episode, we dive into:You deserve real, informed support—not just platitudes or formula handouts.Breastfeeding might be “natural,” but that doesn’t mean it’s easy or intuitive.Trusting your instincts is medicine.Whether you breastfed for two years, two days, or not at all, you’re still a phenomenal mama.Looking for supplements for yourself and your family, including some of those I talk about in episodes?
