The second episode of the Equitable Wellness podcast is the pregnancy and maternity story of Ariel Herrera-Molina, who in Episode 1 shared her vast experiences as a spa owner and licensed esthetician in the aesthetics world as a person of color. In this emotional and raw installment, we shift the conversation to Ariel’s birthing experience the week after the presidential election. Here Ariel shares her story bravely and unabashedly, revealing what American mothers don’t talk about. I also share what maternity leave looks like in Spain: 16 weeks minimum paid maternity leave after birth and 16 weeks minimum paid paternity leave after birth, federally mandated.
