Yuz takes off the mask
I am beyond thrilled to have my dear friend Yuz here today, all the way from Melbourne Australia. We met online through #ppdchat and fell in love with each other. We have so much in common, PPD and being Jewish are just the tip of the iceberg. This post is about telling her story on her…
New location for the Ithaca mothers’ support group
I’ve been leading the Ithaca PPD support group for 16 months. Since October 2010, our meetings took place at the lovely and amazing community room at the natural parenting store in downtown Ithaca. The owner, Mandy, and her team were so wonderfully supportive. I thought it was perfect: right on the Ithaca Commons (the downtown…
Long Live the Empress: Alexandra of Good Day Regular People
Look darlings, is here! I adore her, and her blog is one of the most comforting, nourishing, loving places in the whole wide internet. Case and point: on Valentine’s day most of the internet made me want to puke, ? Made me do something good that day. And she is visiting us here, with her…

I’m excited about having a column on each side of the post area, and even more excited about the new navigation and…
Comparing the PPD to Joy offerings
It all started with the Ithaca support meetings, then came the PPD SpeakEasy support phone chat. Since I added classes to the PPDtoJoy offerings, you now have 4 options to choose from. All of my events share these basic ideas: Motherhood is hard, you are not a bad mom, coping skills can make your life…
December Love Letter for mom: Speakeasy call tonight, Sunday Comfort Camp and more
I just sent out the december PPD to Joy Love letter for Mom. With a reminder for tonight’s PPD SpeakEasy call. Did you get it? I didn’t. It went into my spam folder. Which is rather ironic considering that beginning of that letter is a rant about tech problems… And we have new call numbers for…
