Previa Alliance Podcast

Everyone talks about helping kids adjust to a new school year—but what about the parents?
Behind the first-day-of-school photos are moms juggling schedules, worrying about teachers, packing lunches, coordinating drop-offs, paying activity fees, and wondering if they're doing enough. For many parents, back-to-school brings excitement, but it also brings stress, grief, and an enormous mental load.
In this episode, Sarah and Whitney explore why this season can feel so emotionally overwhelming, the science behind life transitions, and practical ways to navigate back-to-school without burning yourself out before the year even begins.

Ever notice your patience gets shorter, your anxiety feels higher, and everything seems harder during a heat wave? You're not imagining it.
Extreme heat doesn't just make us sweat—it affects our brain, nervous system, sleep, hormones, mood, and even how we interact with the people we love.
In this episode, Sarah and Whitney unpack the science behind why hot weather can leave us feeling exhausted, emotionally reactive, overstimulated, and mentally drained. They also share practical ways to protect your mental health during the hottest months of the year, especially for parents, pregnant women, and anyone already carrying a heavy mental load.

Nobody should walk into labor, an epidural, or a C-section feeling like the process is a mystery. 
In this episode, we discuss why clear patient education is often missing, how fear of the unknown can increase anxiety and contribute to birth trauma, and the real-world challenges providers face in preparing families for delivery.
