This week on LIFE UNfiltered, we’re not alone! Today, we’ve got our dear friend and mom and TV personality Maria Sansone joining us to talk about postpartum depression (PPD). Because we’ve spent the better part of the last four months talking about all the different ways that we’ve all been affected by the pandemic and postpartum depression affects between 10-20% of new moms and that’s not even factoring in the pandemic we’re living through, so that number is higher for sure because it’s tough enough to be a new mom on the best of days, let alone when the world is in chaos.
For those of you who may not know Maria, she’s an Emmy award-winning television host, a content creator, and the mom of two children. She’s had an illustrious broadcasting career in NYC and Los Angeles where she anchored the popular morning show, “Good Day LA”. Now, she’s taken her on-camera talents to Boston where she can be seen on the lifestyle show, “The Hub Today” on NBC 10, hosting the weekly chat show #MOM2MOM on NECN, and on social media (@mariasansone), where she’s developing unique content like her popular weekly cooking show “Real Cooking LIVE”.
LIFE UNfiltered is something new. Something different. Something real and raw and relatable. It’s a brand-new talk show that celebrates the messy, perfectly imperfect parts of life. Every Sunday from 11:30AM until noon, show hosts author & syndicated columnist Lisa Sugarman and licensed psychotherapist Debra Gansenberg, MSW, LICSW talk about the everyday issues that are affecting them as moms, wives, working professionals, and friends. Gansenberg, the mom of three boys, and Sugarman, the mom of two daughters, take the theme from their latest book How To Raise Perfectly Imperfect Kids And Be Ok With It, and apply it to every aspect of life from raising kids and marriage to work and self-care and everything in between. They talk, unfiltered, about all the stuff that’s keeping you up at night. And here’s the thing… they actually give you permission to make mistakes and drop some balls. And be ok with it.
Each week, Lisa and Debra focus on topics that affect all of us and have open, honest conversations about the good, the bad, the ugly, and all the moving parts that make up our day-to-day lives.
They incorporate a mix of clinical advice, stories, tips, proven strategies from the trenches AND the therapy couch, and a bunch of laughs, to help you find the magic within life’s screwups.
