In this episode we talk with Dr. Jane Shomof about perinatal and postpartum mental health and how she helps moms navigate the early postpartum period. Dr. Jane Shomof is a licensed psychotherapist, perinatal mental health specialist, substance abuse & addiction specialist, a doctor of clinical psychology, and the founder and CEO of Bloome.
We discussed her journey of entering motherhood and how she did “all the things” and had a very specific birth plan that she was handing out to everyone only to have her first birth, back in 2011, not go according to plan. At that point postpartum depression was the only diagnosis but she knew something else was going on. She had dealt with a combination of postpartum anxiety and postpartum OCD and learned over the course of a 6 year span in birthing her children that not much had changed.
She now works to guide moms on a path to better understand maternal mood disorders and really rework their mindset for both birth and the postpartum period. She mentions how a birth experience that doesn’t quite go according to plan can lead to thoughts of failure in parenthood and be the perfect place for a mood disorder to occur.
Listen in on the full episode to hear more information on postpartum mood disorders, how we can help ease into the transition of motherhood, and what we can do to better prepare for the postpartum period.

In this episode we talk with Jessica Levy about her journey into motherhood and going from a realtor to personal trainer to the creator of the Habit Foundation. She is a mom herself and is helping so many other mamas that are traveling on a similar path that she once had so that they can build sustainable habits that fit into their motherhood lifestyle. Listen in on this episode to learn 3 practical habits that you can incorporate into your life today and how to better prepare for our upcoming New Years resolutions.
A Message from Jessica:
I’m Jessica from the beautiful Okanagan, mom to a 9 year old boy who loves hockey, an habit & weight-loss coach, and founder of The Habit Foundation. I believe in empowering women because I know all too well what it is like to lack confidence, to feel overwhelmed, and be busy putting everyone’s needs before our own.
Can you imagine what it would feel like to be your happiest most confident self? This is why I started my business almost a decade ago, because I wanted to help you (moms) reach that. My newest 8 week habit program or my monthly membership, takes the overwhelm out of weight-loss through simple weekly habits. Those changes you are looking for, that feel effortless and actually stick!
-
No more dieting for years and obsessing every day about what to eat.
-
No more spending money on fad workout trends.
-
No more searching for quick fixes and feeling overwhelmed when they fail.
Weight loss doesn't have to be complicated, I created the system that allows that. I would love to help you get started.
