Author: Local Moms Network December 2, 2025 Duration: 27:13
Moms, we get it…there are moments in motherhood when we put ourselves last but ignoring health concerns is never ok. In fact, suffering in silence is dangerous; symptoms like painful periods, chronic fatigue, and pelvic pressure need attention.Dr. Karlie Provost Goldstein and Dr. Leigh Rosen are experts in treating endometriosis and fertility issues at ESSE Care. ESSE is a practice on the east coast in New York and Fairfield County, and on the west coast in Los Angeles.The doctors specialize in listening to their patients and often find that what we consider “normal” is anything but. On MomCast, they share the red flags that most doctors are dismissing, plus:* why heavy, painful periods might signal more than just fluctuating hormones after having kids* why advocating for ourselves is critical so our symptoms aren’t ignored* the groundbreaking approach to diagnosing and removing endometriosis * how barriers to fertility can often be solved with minimally invasive surgery and little down time* why it’s critical to share the long history of symptoms and experiences to get a proper diagnosisYou can learn more about ESSE Care at their website and on their Instagram account @essecaresurgerywellness.

Hosted by Demetra Ganias-a writer and mother of three who’s navigating the same daily realities-MomCast is a conversation from the trenches of modern parenting. This podcast, from the Local Moms Network, moves beyond simple tips to explore the nuanced, often unspoken layers of family life, culture, and society that shape our days. Demetra guides honest talks with both leading experts and fellow moms who get it, tackling questions about child development, personal identity, and the balancing act that rarely feels balanced. The dialogue here is less about perfect answers and more about shared understanding, offering perspectives that resonate whether you’re in the car line or stealing a quiet moment. It’s a space where the complexities of raising kids intersect with everything else, acknowledging that motherhood is as much about the world we’re preparing our children for as it is about the snack currently ground into the car seat. Tune in for a genuine, sometimes messy, but always connecting look at this defining chapter. You’ll find a sense of community in this podcast, a feeling that someone is putting words to your own experience, making the journey feel a little less solitary and a lot more seen.
