This episode is a rerun of an episode we aired back in December, before Ricki was displaced due to the wildfires in Los Angeles. 

Some people have a knack for painting, singing, or sports. But a select few, like Tyler Henry, can communicate with the dead. Tyler is a medium, acting as an intermediary between the living and the departed through one-on-one sessions as well as his latest Netflix show, ‘Live From The Other Side.’ Tyler and Ricki talk about her guest appearance on his show, and what it was like to read for his first celebrity client, actress Sarah Paulson. He also tells Ricki the origin story behind his gift and how we can all connect to a deeper, intuitive state of being.

When journalist Lucy Jones had her first baby, she noticed remarkable changes taking place -  not only was her body changing, but so too was her own psychology. By her third child, Lucy went searching for answers to her questions. What she discovered was "matrescence," a term coined by psychiatrist Alexandra Sacks that put into words the enormity of her own transformation. So she wrote a book about it, titled Matrescence: On the Metamorphosis of Pregnancy, Childbirth and Motherhood.

In this moving interview, hear Ricki in conversation with Lucy, discussing the spectacular, life-changing shift that takes place for women during motherhood.

You can buy her book, Matrescence: on Pregnancy, Childhood and Mothering, at a book store near you or here.
