Sometimes I am lucky enough to talk to an expert on one subject and find that what they're teaching translates to other areas extremely well, this is one of those episodes!

You know one of the often forgotten skills parents have to teach their children is speech and communication. Sure, we know it has to happen but, quite often, we don't actively think about this.
This week I bring you an interview I did with Jeaneen Tang in 2025.
Jeaneen is a speech-language pathologist with over 20 years of experience working with early intervention (0-3 years old) to the elderly. 
She specializes in early language development and we're talking about many things including;
Why communication skills don't develop automatically and how parents can foster better language development through intentional interaction. 
Why communication and speech skills are often kind of ignored.
How to best work with your child and prevent speech issues occuring (prevention is better than curing, right?)
and much, much more.
She also shares some practical strategies for creating opportunities that encourage children to communicate more effectively.

You can find Jeaneen in all the usual places;
Her website
Instagram
And Facebook

Check out "Play Dumb and Sabotage: Mindfully Under-Anticipating a Child's Needs and Creating Opportunities to Practice Language" for a practical, conversational approach to enhancing your child's speech development.

From the vault;
I've seen a lot of comments regarding PPP and the Lindsay Clancy case and it shows just how massively misunderstood Post Partum Psychosis really is. And it's really tragic. We have to get the word out that help is available and that help works!!
I did this interview with Dr Theresa Costales in 2024, she is the Arizona Medical Director for Connections Health Solutions, as we are talking all things to do with postpartum mental health but especially postpartum psychosis.

From the transient 'baby blues' to the gripping challenges of postpartum depression and the alarming reality of postpartum psychosis, Dr Costales offers an empathetic exploration of conditions that can profoundly affect new mothers.

We hear a lot about postpartum depression, and even post-partum anxiety but post-partum psychosis is massively under discussed and, as a consequence, not very well understood by many outside the postpartum mental health profession.

The harsh judgment often faced by recovering mothers, and the public's reluctance to understand that these are treatable mental illnesses, can lead to some of those who need urgent care being deprived of just that.
By examining the systemic issues within the medical community—including the dismissal of women's health concerns and the unique challenges faced by healthcare workers—we open up a dialogue about the urgent need for change and the promising shifts toward greater empathy and inclusivity, particularly for women of color.

Lastly, we celebrate the positive strides being made towards accessible mental health care for women, highlighting the ground-breaking work of Connections Health Solutions.

The importance of protocols that maintain the precious mother-child relationship during hospitalization, and the critical role of medication knowledge for pregnant and breastfeeding women, are topics we passionately delve into.

I don't say this every week, in fact I don't think I've ever said it at all, but this episode is a must-listen. Dr Costales is an amazing speaker on this subject and you'll absolutely love it.

FTV this week as it's an important thing to discuss;

Have you ever wondered why, when we all say we want emotionally healthy boys/men, society makes it soo difficult to teach them how to be emotionally healthy and well rounded?
This week I have the pleasure of being joined by Dr Gloria Vanderhorst.
Dr Vanderhorst is a psychologist who has 50 years of experience working with anything from preschoolers to adult and she offers a fascinating insight into the structural issues that families are faced with when trying to raise boys.
We all know the saying "It takes a village to raise a child" but if that village is doing the opposite of what that child needs, then we have a bit of an issue.
So we discuss all these things, and the solutions of course!
You can find Dr Vanderhorst in all the usual places;
