Lindsay Clancy’s trial is unfolding in a Massachusetts courtroom right now, and most of the public conversation is stuck on guilt or innocence.
This episode goes underneath that question, into the conversation nobody’s having: what happens when a woman’s postpartum hormonal crisis gets treated as a psychiatric illness instead of a physical one, and what “she had support” actually means in a culture that dismantled real community care for mothers generations ago.
With Saturn newly retrograde in Aries, we’re being asked to look honestly at where women’s authority over their own bodies has been handed to systems that were never built to understand them.
In this episode:
• Why this isn’t an analysis of the trial, and why the story underneath it matters regardless of the verdict
• The physical, hormonal reality of postpartum that gets relabeled as mental illness
• The throughline from witch trials to hysteria diagnoses to modern overmedication
• What “she had support” gets wrong, and what real community care for new mothers used to look like
• How Saturn retrograde in Aries is asking us to audit where we’ve outsourced women’s autonomy
• What moving forward, collectively, actually requires of each of us
