Hello, hello, hello. Welcome to the baby game. Baby gang. Wow, I can't talk you guys. It's summer. It's officially summer. Kids are out of school. It's Becca Tobin. Hi. And thank you so much to our presenting sponsor, Better Help. Today's episode is a really special one.

It's my personal psychiatrist. She is a reproductive psychiatrist and therapist. Her name is Sarah Oric.

And she is wonderful. I have leaned on her in many of the toughest times of my life. She continues to help me.

And I'm really excited. I know we talk a lot about mental health on this series, but that's because we're moms and we need all the help we can get. I am coming to you from, if you're watching on YouTube, I am in a bunk room, an adorable bunk room at my parents' house in Atlanta. We came to visit for the weekend. And when they

made this last move, my parents, they made their house, this like playground for all grandchildren.

And their goal was to just lure them here. And it's working. There's a giant dollhouse behind me

for American Girl dolls, for my niece, a bunk room, all the toys you can imagine. It's really sweet.

We love being here. But without further ado, well, actually, I'll give you a little backstory.

I don't know if I talk about it in the body of the episode, but I found Dr. Oric when I was in my

second pregnancy and I was experiencing extreme depression. And I just was so confused

because we're supposed to be glowing and happy, right? Not always the case. And that's why

it's so important for her to be here and to talk about all of this and remove the stigma that comes

with all the challenges that can happen and can occur when you are

pregnant, trying to get pregnant, after pregnancy, after having a child, all the things.

So I'm really excited she's here.

I think you're going to love this conversation.

Hello, everybody. I am joined today by Dr. Sarah Oreck, a Columbia University-trained,

board-certified psychiatrist and therapists focusing on women's mental health and wellness,

reproductive psychiatry, and perinatal wellness, with rare specialized training in how female reproductive hormones impact mental

health across the life cycle from adolescence through pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause.

She's also the founder of Mavita Health, who offers specialized online therapy for women

and resources to empower them throughout their journey. And my personal psychiatrist.
