And it helps me think better, respond faster and remember more 🤓 My brain works a little differently, because if I’m talking or listening in an important meeting, my brains wanders and gets bored (yes sometimes even while I am talking myself). And it really doesn’t matter how hard I try to f

That is exactly what the new CrunchLabs Elephant Toothpaste Geyser kit is for. First, the instructions tell YOU how to make the perfec

They were children, not exhibits. A mother's crisis hidden behind competence. A system's tools failing to grasp the whole story. We want simple, but the truth is complex. Read the full essay on substack. #fyp #MentalHealthAwareness #MothersMentalHealth #SystemicFailure #PostpartumSupport

I often describe my experience of postpartum anxiety going unnoticed for 9 months despite multiple healthcare and mental health practitioners assuring me I was fine and normal as not realizing that I was treading water all my life, so when I started drowning, I described my struggle as just a littl

A verdict can tell us what a jury believes, but justice demands a harder question: What could have saved Cora and Callan? What signs were missed? What breaks were papered over? Read the full essay on my substack #fyp #JusticeReform #SystemicFailure #MaternalMentalHealth #EnoughIsEnough

I wrote this piece in substack a little while ago, after recording and never posting draft after draft on TikTok. Because everytime I tried to speak my mind was tangled and these children deserved my best. #lindsayclancy #coradawsoncallan #postpartummentalhealth

I built a 25-chapter reference guide to AI for academics. It's called Understanding & using AI as a scientist. Why? Because the rules of our jobs changed twice in five years (once when we went online with covid, then again when ChatGPT arrived). Most of us got a policy PDF and a sense of dread. So

Three weeks of trial audio on my commute, and what I recognise isn't the crime. It's the before. The Lindsay Clancy trial drew me back into a past I lived between 2019 and 2023: prenatal depression, postpartum anxiety, and a brain so sick it is still recovering. Every question the prosecution asks

I've been a mother for seven years. That's 61,320 hours. For a psychiatrist to log that many in postpartum illness would take twenty years. Twenty years of no general psychiatry. No forensic work. No teaching. Just this. Exclusively. Nobody on that witness stand has that. The court counts, out loud

Everyone keeps asking how the system missed her. I keep thinking about a different question: compared with what? "She said she was feeling better." "She was underreporting her symptoms." Two phrases from the Lindsay Clancy trial that I can't put down. Because underreporting assumes there was a true

I have spent three weeks listening to a courtroom read a woman's mind out loud, and the thing I keep losing is the children. Cora. Dawson. Callan. Their names are in the record now as evidence, as exhibits, as the reason strangers on the internet get to argue about mothers and medication and evil.

I was sick of everyone yelling at me about using LLMs because of the environmental impact. So instead of hiding it or lying to you all, I educated myself on these very real and important concerns, adjusted my own practices and then documented how you might make better choices and decisions here

It’s not the things you buy off of an amazon storefront…. It’s the itinerary. It needs to be full of time to play, run, jump, roar and rest. Our itinerary everyday looked pretty much the same no matter what country we were in ✨Wake up ✨Breakfast ✨Find green space or a playground. ✨

Here’s why the internet has decided Emilie Kiser is a villain and Lindsay Clancy is a victim. It’s got nothing to do with the people and everything to do with the way human brains work. Please remember these are real people with real lives and families going through real tragedies. We are all o

I know I’m meant to be an expert, but sometimes you just can’t predict how a kid is going to react in a completely new situation. Can confirm they are healthy, thriving and have a new set of screen time rules to maintain this 😅
