  • LOVESICK PODCAST: Maternal Mortality Rates for Black and Brown Women

    Brandie Bishop - National Black Doulas Association

    I'm Brandie Bishop (She/Her), I consider myself to be a very passionate, humors, and courageous person, dedicating my life to serving families during their most vulnerable times. Proud to have been born and raised in Inkster, Michigan, I now call Georgia home sweet home.
    My journey into supporting families began at the age of 14 when I was a part of my first business startup and began working at a homeless center. I then went on to earn my Degree in Family Child Development with a minor in Sociology and Psychology. Right out of school I focused on serving pregnant refugee women from around the world, which challenged my thoughts on how pregnancy, labor, delivery, and the immediate postpartum period should be experienced.
    ​
    Over the course of nearly 10 years, I have supported the births of over 150 families from nearly 45 different countries. As a Birth Work Professional, I have used my passion for birthing and postpartum persons to provide the best possible support during pregnancy, birth, and beyond. Additionally, as a Mentor and Instructor, I have fallen in love with training the birth workers of tomorrow to be the change they want to see in the world.
    ​
    Now, as the Owner and CEO of the National Black Doulas Association, my ultimate goal is to see BIOPC Births and Birth Work Businesses Whole and Thriving, and the Maternal Mortality Rate in our country radically changed.

I attended Loyola University of Chicago and completed a Master's Degree in Clinical Social Work (2002) with a concentration in children and families. I also have a Post Master's Degree in School Social Work (2004).
    Prior to starting my private practice, I worked in various settings including both private and public schools, psychiatric hospitals, residential, foster care, and adoption care. In 2007, I began my private practice in Chicago and subsequently moved my practice to New York City in 2011.
    With more than 27 years of extensive clinical experience, I am capable of treating an array of mental health, emotional, and relationship issues. I have had the opportunity to work with children and families, as well as adults and couples.
    I am also trained and have experience in the following modalities.
    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
    Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
    Mindfulness Based-Stress Reduction (MBSR)
    I treat mood disorders, OCD, ADHD, anxiety and depression, complex and acute trauma, grief and loss, I am also a chronic illness, rare disease, and medical trauma expert. Managing mental health can be just as important as managing your physical health. Talk therapy can be an effective way to manage interpersonal relationships, establish coping strategies, and coping with medical trauma.

I have conducted more than 40 expert lectures and podcasts about living with rare and chronic conditions.

I also participated in Common Ground, a series of videos about coping with primary immunodeficiency for teens, and the podcast, Coping with the Emotional Dimensions of PI, part of the Young Adult Series.
    I also participated in a study of Mindfulness-Based Treatments in Conjunction with the Mood Network Program at Massachusetts General Hospital, PCORnet, and The Immune Deficiency Foundation. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of brief meditation exercises to improve the well-being of patients with Primary Immunodeficiency and other chronic healthcare conditions.
    I currently lead the Immune Deficiency Foundation’s Get Connected Caregiver and Spouses/Partners Support Groups. I write a monthly column for CSL Behring’s Vita Series about coping with chronic illness and rare disease.
    Caregiver Support Group
    Finally, I believe in a collaborative approach and will coordinate services with physicians, psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, and family members upon your request. Coordination of care is vital in maintaining a more cohesive therapeutic experience.

  • Lovesick Podcast: Let's Talk About Sex with Jocelyn Silva

    From devout Catholic to spiritual and free

    I was raised in a Spanish speaking, conservative Catholic household in the San Fernando Valley,  Los Angeles, California. My mom is from El Salvador and my dad is from Mexico. 


    I attended Catholic school from Kindergarten to twelfth grade, was involved in my parish, and even wanted to be a nun at age 16. My religious beliefs significantly shaped my perception of myself and my sexuality. 


    I began to feel ashamed of my sexual desires and body to the point to where I was going to confession on a weekly basis to admit the "sinful" things my boyfriend and I were engaging in. It was a very confusing time that lead to a paralyzing depression and deep hate of myself. 


    As I entered college, and slowly left the church, my belief system shifted. The first time I had sex with a partner was at age 18 and when I tell you the skies parted and angels sang! Not necessarily because the sex was good (because the first time it rarely is), but because it was a beautiful connecting and freeing experience. I thought to myself, "How can this be a BAD thing?!"


    I was determined to learn everything I could about sex. I became a Sex Educator at age 21, facilitating workshops on college and university campuses. Then, earned my Bachelor's degree in Gender and Women Studies, ran a Sexual Health and Wellness boutique for 4 years, and went to grad school for my Master's Degree in Social Work. 


    I have been a sex educator for 13 years and now, for the past 4 years, I have been coaching women, men, and couples one on one and in group settings to support them on embodying the most authentic sexual expression of themselves. 


    Throughout the years and through a few challenging experiences, I have been able to develop a spiritual belief system that celebrates my sexual expression fully! This has been the driving force of what I do in my practice. Coaching and educating from a place of unconditional love for my clients and for humanity as a whole.
