Preventing illness and kicking it when it happens are both HUGE priorities in my busy family.

While we’ll never be able to avoid getting sick completely, we can significantly reduce how often it happens and how long it lasts.

Preventative care is a lifestyle that comes with so many benefits.

This information is crucial during this vulnerable back to school season, and that’s why I’m here to share the tools and protocols necessary to help yourself and your family stay healthy and bounce back faster.

The average working mother in America is unsupported and overwhelmed.

It is a tragedy that starts in the workplace and extends all the way up to government policies and agendas.

Women change profoundly after each birth and baby. To see this process and transformation as a simple inconvenience continues to be a dire mistake.

Our strengths and experiences as mothers amplify our potential as employees and professionals.

Melissa Wirt is the founder and CEO of Latched Mama, a  breastfeeding and postpartum apparel company whose parent-friendly policies are setting a new standard for flexible work.

In our conversation, she doesn’t hold back on the ways our country is failing mothers at the societal and workplace levels. Listen in for the raw truth on going back to work after a baby.

“Bounce back” culture has failed us terribly.

Although the signs that this isn’t working are everywhere, where do we look when stepping outside of the modern norm?

It is this crossroads where we’re given the opportunity to come home to the traditions and cultural practices that have been lost across generations.

The secret to a better way of experiencing motherhood rests in this wisdom.

The way back, however, requires a deep process of discovery and digging back to our roots. Today, we’re here to share our best advice and what we’ve been working on at Postpartum University to help you get started.

Go to https://postpartumu.com/postpartum-university-podcast-ep73/ for more!

In this episode, I am sharing:

• Digging back into our own culture for information can be difficult
• Conversations with our elders usually include many hardships that shifted the way we had to show up as mother
• For traditional practices and wisdom, we have to go back deeper
• Why we desperately need to move away from the modern “bounce back” culture
• Using tradition to get back to the root of who we are
• Where can we go to find this information
• Finding community and asking questions

The first signs of postpartum depression can often be traced back to pregnancy, and we do NOT talk about it enough.

Pregnancy is joyful, scary, beautiful, and hard work. As is postpartum. As is motherhood.

Whenever hormonal imbalances and a lack of support are present, depression and anxiety will be the natural result.

In today’s episode, we’re talking to Angela Mancini, a Doula, Licensed Therapist, and Perinatal Mood Disorder Specialist.

As a professional who experienced dark days of depression herself, she is here to speak on the stigma as well as the path forward.

Recently, I had a popular post deleted in a large maternal mental health group. 

The basis for this was because my post on postpartum nutrition felt like it was "anti western medicine".

If you are a provider and you're not supporting your clients with at least sharing the significance of nutrient repletion (and therefore emotional and mental support), your clients are missing out considerably.

This doesn’t in any way mean that a provider is not good enough and not valuable enough for all the work they do without nutrition attached. WE NEED COUNSELORS/TRAINED MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS. They are essential to this conversation. 

AND.... if we as providers are truly going to prevent, assess, and treat PMADs, we must include nutrition (even if it’s a few handouts and a referral).

This episode is for those who feel the same calling I do. For those who believe we must pave a better way when it comes to whole body postpartum care.

Go to https://postpartumu.com/postpartum-university-podcast-ep71/ for more!


In this episode, I am sharing:

• Why providers have an obligation to share the significance of nutrition
• Adding value while staying within your scope of practice
• High rates of deficiency in women after birth and the connection to anxiety and depression
• Root cause care is the only way forward
• Being stuck in awareness mode instead of making actual progress
• Taking better care of our mothers will change the world
