| 0:00.0 | Okay, I'm here with the gorgeous and fabulous Alessandra Torsi. |
| 0:19.0 | Hello, Dr. Kay, it's been too long and I'm so excited to be here. I wish it was for other things, but we'll get there once. I've done breastfeeding. I haven't seen since you got pregnant. I got pregnant. We see people. We get beautiful and then they get pregnant. Then the baby tears you all up. Yep. And, and then you come back. Yes, babies take all the life |
| 0:38.6 | out of the mama. Yes, yes, especially my. Yes. I have four. Yes. That's wild. Can you imagine |
| 0:45.7 | having two babies? No, I can't imagine having two at once. That's crazy. It's been a, it was wild, right? |
| 0:51.1 | It's a lot, but it's the best, I know. It's. I know. It's the best love ever. I know. But definitely, you've been busy. Well, tell us the name of your, first of all, for those of you don't know, this woman is an amazing actress. Oh, thank you. Thank you. What else do you? Do you dance? I do it all. What can I say? and I have a podcast called Emotional Support where I talk about mental health and living with bipolar one disorder. And it's kind of taken a turn into being more about maternal mental health and the struggles of postpartum and postpartum anxiety and postpartum depression.

| 1:30.2 | she's so transparent and so open ready to talk about what we women face that we just bury yes i think |
| 1:36.3 | none of our mother spoke about it so it's almost like we're discovering this and it's like an age-old |
| 1:42.3 | problem that we had forever right and i remember you know my |
| 1:46.1 | mom and my aunt's always talking about oh i gave birth and you know i pee my pants when i laugh all |

| 1:58.8 | where it becomes super real. |
| 2:07.8 | And I love sharing and I talk about it on the podcast that incontinence, when you have a baby, |

| 2:37.7 | And so it doesn't matter that it just, that I pushed her out naturally or if it was a C-section. That's so true. And I've done pelvic floor therapy. I've done chairs where you sit and you get a hundred. 10,000 kegles. Yes. I've done that one. Yes. I've done that chair.

| 2:47.0 | When you are out and you pee your pants and you have a baby and you're like, why is this happening to me? Yeah, it's awful. |
