Welcome to The Sound of Loneliness Podcast!
This podcast is hosted by Registered Psychotherapist, and Founder & Executive Director of Valley Connections Counselling, Amanda Youssef.
In this episode, Amanda Youssef is joined by Registered Psychotherapist, Kiara Panetta. Amanda and Kiara have the pleasure of speaking with Hana McConville and Melissa Gallagher, the co-founders of Alma Care. Alma Care is Canada's first postnatal retreat, located in Toronto, Ontario.
Hana and Melissa walk us through their decision to launch this business as a way to advocate for and redefine the postpartum landscape. They dive into the wealth of services offered by Alma Care and their extensive team. They discuss their own unique postpartum journeys and Hana touches on the cultural practices that inspired the birth of Alma Care. They also touch on the culture shift they hope to work towards as a result of approaching the postpartum period in this way.
As a way to kick-off Maternal Mental Health Month in May, Amanda and Kiara couldn't think of a better way than to interview two women dedicated to focusing on the health and wellness of new mothers!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
