Do you really know the history of obstetrics in the U.S. and what the patriarchy did to develop it? Bestselling author, advocate, educator, sociologist, speaker, and scholar Anna Malaika Tubbs returns with Tribe Midwifery founder Debbie Allen to expose the devastating origins of American obstetrics, which still endanger and marginalize women of color today, and call for a cultural and systemic shift in humanizing maternity care. Anna and Tabria share how they chose to give birth at home with midwives in order to feel safe, heard, informed, supported and respected, and Debbie clears up common misconceptions about what midwifery care really provides, including supporting families every step of the way. Anna reveals the topic of her upcoming book (!) and unpacks how many systems in our country were designed to marginalize and disempower the BIPOC community, women, and families - and how to do something about it.

Paid family leave isn’t a just “mom” issue - it’s a parental issue that affects every family’s well-being. In this special live-recorded episode from Milk Drunk’s season 2 launch party, Tabria sits down with fashion icon Tan France and Bobbie’s Director of Marketing, Cat Canada, for an unfiltered discussion on paid family leave. Neither Tan nor Tabria had paid family leave after becoming parents (like many Americans), which took a serious toll on their mental health and made them feel abandoned by society, but also inspired their activism. Cat gives us the scoop on what Bobbie is doing to help pass a national paid family leave policy for all families and after teaching Tabria a TikTok parenting hack, Tan rallies male and non-birthing parents to be allies in the paid family leave fight.

Co-Founder and Chief Content Officer Bri Majsiak and Chief Community Officer Trish Michelle share their powerful stories of previving and surviving breast and gynecological cancers, and how the Breasties - the first all-inclusive nonprofit organization that creates community for survivors, previvors, stage 4 thrivers, and caregivers impacted by breast and gynecologic cancers - was born to counteract the gaps that exist in cancer care, support, research and representation, especially for people of color. The ladies teach us the importance of “knowing your normal”, self-advocating in medical spaces, learning your family’s medical history, and having access to information and resources. Tabria also gets the inside scoop on the famed Breasties Camp, why Trish feels like Mariah Carey every October, and what Bobbie is doing to help address the feeding equity gap and rewrite the narrative around feeding with the Bobbie Breasties program (matching $25k to the Breasties during the month of October).

Just weeks before giving birth, influencer and What We Said podcast co-host Jaci Marie gives Tabria her signature honest take on formula and how open she is to combo feeding (a lot of her friends are Bobbie moms), why she shared her four-year infertility journey online, her plans to outsource help when she needs it, and why she doesn’t worry about her looks when she’s busy growing a human.

The Vagina Whisperer dropped so much knowledge on us that we had to keep the conversation flowing. In Part 2, Tabria and Dr. Sara Reardon get real about how hard - figuratively and literally - it is to go poop after giving birth and what to do, the need for more pelvic floor care in women’s health, why a minimum of 6 months paid family leave should be the norm, and how language and conversation have the power to destigmatize. Plus, Dr. Sara shares her golden co-parenting rule that works, how she doubled down on supporting all feeding options for families when cyberbullies came a-trolling, and the title of her upcoming book, the first to be published on pelvic floor health - heck yeah!

Countless women suffer in silence from urinary leakage, painful intercourse, pregnancy and childbirth challenges, constipation, menopausal discomfort and other pelvic floor issues, but not if the Vagina Whisperer - aka doctor of physical therapy and board-certified pelvic floor physical therapist Sara Reardon - has anything to do with it! 

In this episode, Dr. Sara tells Tabria about her mission to destigmatize pelvic floor issues via her hilarious and beloved Instagram account, the Vagina Whisperer, that’s full of extremely helpful and practical information and resources. Dr. Sara also shares how pelvic floor physical therapy positively impacted her own pregnancies, births and postpartum recoveries, why it’s important to only trust information from qualified specialists, and she encourages moms to get pelvic floor care instead of accepting pain, leaks and discomfort as the “new norm”. The bottom line on pelvic floor health is simple: all ages and stages can benefit from care and it’s never too late.
