Whitney welcomes Aubrey Hubbell, co-founder of Hazel, the design-driven women’s health brand reinventing incontinence care with dignity, comfort, and style. After a decade of building brands for women in key life stages, Aubrey saw a massive gap in a $20B industry that hadn’t evolved in decades—and decided to change it.

In this inspiring conversation, Aubrey shares her path from product designer to founder, the white space she recognized in women’s health, and the two-year journey of developing Hazel’s breakthrough products. Whitney and Aubrey dive into the power of designing with women, for women, why breaking taboos is essential for progress, and how Hazel went from an idea to Target shelves nationwide.

If you’ve ever dreamed of building something that makes women’s lives better, this episode will encourage you to take the leap.

In this special episode of the Miracle Mama Podcast, listeners are invited into a recorded grief support session held for mothers in the Dallas community following the devastating floods in Hunt, Texas.

Led by licensed therapist Laura McLaughlin, founder of HeadFirst Counseling, the session offered trauma-informed tools for navigating grief, supporting children through emotional distress, and honoring the full range of feelings that arise in the aftermath of crisis. The gathering was hosted at Alive & Well in Dallas and generously sponsored by The Kabani Foundation.

The topic of the conversation was Forging Your Own Parenting Path. We asked Dr. LaKaavia Taylor, a PhD clincial professor at Southern Methodist University to join us to offer her insight.
