The Benefits of Kangaroo Care

In this enlightening episode of the Fresh Start Family show, host Wendy Snyder is joined by Penny Williams, an eminent figure in the arena of ADHD, autism, and neurodiversity. The conversation delves into the transformative perspectives on parenting and understanding challenging behaviors, offering solace and strategic insight to families navigating parenting with a connected, firm & kind approach.

The dialogue opens with Penny's personal journey, highlighting the challenges encountered following her son's ADHD and autism diagnoses. The episode illuminates the profound shifts from attempting to 'fix' perceived problems to genuinely fostering a nurturing environment tailored to a child's unique neurology.



Penny shares transformative ideas that redefine behavioral challenges, fostering an empathetic approach that aligns with both scientific insights and humane intuition. The discussion underscores the importance of recognizing and addressing the underlying causes of misbehavior, such as regulatory states, rather than merely addressing the symptoms.

Dealing with Sibling Rivalry

How does the experience of one birth influence the plans for births that follow?

Today we chat with Emilee Petrill, and we pack a lot into a sub-hour conversation. Emilee has experienced a hospital birth with her first son Corbyn, a birthing center for her son Penn and finally a home birth for her son Moxy. She walks us through the processes and decisions around each of those experiences. 

Then we get into the details of her home birth, and why she’s thinking about a free/unassisted birth for a future baby. 

Bonus topics in this conversation include Emilee’s experience with consuming her placenta and why she’s a big advocate for it, the 10,000+ oz of breast milk she has donated and how the Doing It At Home podcast and community has impacted her body image and sex life!

486: From Hospital to Birth Center to Home to Possible Free/Unassisted Birth with Emilee Petrill (DIAH Classic)

Today we have a beautiful community birth story from Prenatal Yoga Center graduate, Courtney Vasserman! I personally loved this story and think it will be inspiring, relatable, and encouraging for our community to listen to. Courtney takes us through how she prepared for birth, including the methodology and tools she found incredibly impactful from classes at PYC, along with the coping skills she used and how those varied from early labor, to active labor, to transition. This story is absolutely beautiful, as Courtney speaks on the empowerment and trust she found in her body, yet honest in the sense that she doesn’t shy away from describing her postpartum challenges- pelvic floor issues, breastfeeding struggles, and feelings of isolation. I appreciate how she opens the curtain to what a lot of people experience, and offers affirmation to those who need know they aren’t alone and will get through it.



Sharing her birth story today on Yoga | Birth | Babies, Prenatal Yoga Center graduate Courtney Vasserman grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia and currently lives in New York, where she has worked as an advertising strategist since 2012. She lives in Manhattan with her husband Alex, her mini Bernedoodle Muffin, and now her 4.5 month old baby girl Sophie, who she is so in love with. She has always dreamed of being a mother.



Courtney would like to offer the advice that it is okay to slow down, especially in the postpartum experience. She acknowledges that, especially for those like her who are career driven and type-A, it may be hard to learn and accept this concept in the first few months. However it is okay to spend five days in bed when you’ve just given birth! It’s okay to ask someone else to hold the baby or not go on that mile walk. She reminds us to acknowledge the little accomplishments in those tender postpartum months. Courtney reassures that you don’t need to be running around, and that slowing down will be better for both you and your family in the long-run.
