The maternal health system isn’t broken because people don’t care.​It’s broken because the people who care the most have never been in the same room.​

Mothers navigating pregnancy alone. 

Birthworkers doing sacred work in isolation.

Advocates fighting for change without the community to sustain them.

Providers who want to do more — but can’t do it alone.​

Fragmented.

Disconnected.

And costing lives.​

But what happens when we come together?​

What happens when love meets innovation — when the women closest to this work finally have the infrastructure, the community, and the platform to move as one?

​✨ Outcomes change.

​That’s not just a vision statement.​That’s what we’re building.​The Heart Next Door exists to transform isolated, fragmented maternal care into a connected ecosystem where:

​🤍 Every mother is held
🤍 Every birthworker is supported
🤍 Innovation amplifies the love that was always there​This International Women's Month on March 31st, we’re bringing the community together to start that conversation out loud.​

WHAT YOU WILL WALK AWAY WITH​

This isn’t a panel where people say the right things and go home.​You will leave this session with:​

✨ A clear picture of where maternal health is heading — and exactly where you fit inside it
​🛠 Concrete strategies to grow, sustain, and scale your practice or community in 2026​
🌱 A new framework for moving maternal care from fragmented to connected — and the tools to start applying it immediately​
🤝 Real relationships with the moms, birthworkers, advocates, and leaders building this future alongside you​
💫 And the feeling of finally being in the right room​This is not a webinar.​This is the ecosystem coming to life.​Come as you are.
Bring your story.​Leave with the strategies, connections, and community to change what maternal care looks like — starting now.​

🌹 Reserve your seat. The village is waiting.

In this special episode of The Heart Next Door Podcast, we sit down with Adrian Night, founder of Pace My Energy, to explore how integrative medicine, community, and systems thinking intersect in the future of maternal health.

With a background in naturopathic and integrative medicine, Adrian brings a perspective that challenges how we define care—and what it actually means to support mothers in a way that is continuous, accessible, and human-centered.

Together, we explore:

✨What integrative medicine can teach us about maternal health
✨The role of community and continuity in real support
✨Where modern systems fall short—and where they can evolve
✨How technology, behavior, and lived experience can work together to improve outcomes

This conversation is expansive, grounding, and deeply relevant for anyone building in maternal health.

✨ This episode is part of our lead-up to The Future of Maternal Health — National Roundtable Series, where we’re bringing together leaders across care, community, and innovation to shape what comes next.

Maternal health is often discussed through a clinical lens—but the truth is that the wellbeing of mothers is deeply connected to something much broader: health, financial security, and self-worth.

In this episode of The Heart Next Door Podcast, I sit down with Nancy Griffin, CFP, EPC, founder of Women, Worth & Wellness, to explore the powerful relationship between women’s health, wealth, and leadership.

Nancy has spent decades helping women understand that true wellbeing requires more than financial planning—it requires aligning health, wealth, and self-worth so women can lead meaningful, impactful lives. 

Together we discuss:

• Why women often carry disproportionate responsibility for family health and wellbeing
• How financial empowerment and maternal health are deeply connected
• Why caring for mothers is an investment in families, communities, and future generations
• How generosity, leadership, and legacy shape the future for women

This conversation is a reminder that maternal health isn’t just a healthcare issue—it’s an economic, social, and leadership issue.

Because when mothers thrive, families thrive. And when families thrive, communities do too.

Maternal mental health is one of the most overlooked parts of maternal care — and yet it impacts everything.

In this powerful episode of The Heart Next Door Podcast, Terranie Clarke sits down with Dr. Latoya Taylor, licensed therapist and owner of Tailored Clinical Services, for a deeply needed conversation about maternal mental health, postpartum emotional wellness, and why so many mothers struggle in silence.

Together they unpack the emotional realities many mothers face during pregnancy and postpartum — from anxiety and depression to the invisible pressure to appear strong while navigating one of life’s biggest transitions.

Dr. Taylor shares clinical insight, practical tools, and compassionate guidance for mothers, families, and birth workers who want to better understand and support maternal mental health.

This conversation is for:
• mothers navigating postpartum emotions
• birth workers supporting families
• partners and loved ones who want to show up better
• anyone who believes maternal health includes mental health

Because when we support a mother’s mental health, we strengthen entire families and communities. If you care about maternal health, this is a conversation you cannot miss.

What happens when a mother refuses to accept limitations placed on her child?

In this powerful episode of The Heart Next Door Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Philip Zazove, one of the first Deaf physicians in the United States and a lifelong advocate for equity in healthcare. Dr. Zazove has been Deaf for most of his life, yet he went on to graduate from Washington University, becoming the third Deaf American physician, and later the Department Chair of Family Medicine at the University of Michigan. He primarily served Deaf and hard-of-hearing patients, bringing lived experience, compassion, and accessibility into clinical care.

In this conversation, Dr. Zazove shares how his mother’s fierce advocacy when he was a baby shaped everything—from his confidence to his career—and why maternal advocacy in the earliest moments of life can quite literally change the future. He also speaks about The Louise Tumarkin Zazove Foundation, his nonprofit scholarship fund honoring his mother, and why listening to mothers is essential to better health outcomes. This episode is a reminder: when we advocate for mothers, we advocate for generations.

🎧 Topics include:

• Maternal advocacy and early intervention
• Disability justice in healthcare
• Deaf-accessible medicine
• Why believing in a child changes everything
• The long-term impact of maternal support

As we close Season 3 of The Heart Next Door Podcast and step into a new year, we’re honoring a truth that has guided every conversation this season: it takes a village.

In this season finale, we sit with Jordan Irving, whose work lives at the intersection of youth development, yoga, nature-based healing, environmental justice, and self-care.

Together, we explore how rest, healing, and maternal wellbeing are sustained—not through isolation, but through collective care rooted in people, place, and community.

This conversation centers the essential role of the village: aunties, youth, elders, advocates, and leaders who create space for mothers to breathe. We reflect on rest as a communal practice, the healing power of nature, and the responsibility we share in building environments where families can truly thrive.

As a gift to the Heart Next Door community, we’re opening two doors as we enter the new year:

✨ For new and expecting mothers: Access to The Heart Next Door App is now available to moms everywhere, following the close of our private launch phase. A digital village for new and expecting moms that puts care and community at your fingertips—day and night.

https://heartnextdoor.com/

✨ For maternal advocates and community leaders: We’re opening access to the Village Builder Catalyst Program—a space for those committed to strengthening community-based care and building the villages that help mothers and families thrive.

Season 3 closes with gratitude and intention. Because when mothers are supported, families flourish. And when the village is strong, the future of maternal health is ours.

Christmas week often invites reflection—on family, purpose, and what truly matters. In this episode of The Heart Next Door Podcast, we sit with Chloe White—event planner, entrepreneurship program manager, and mother—for a conversation about what it looks like to build professionally while mothering openly.

Chloe shares her experience of bringing her son with her to work during his first year of life, and how that season reshaped her understanding of presence, productivity, and purpose. We talk about redefining success, creating workplaces that honor motherhood, and the quiet power of letting our children witness the work we’re called to do.

This episode is a reminder that motherhood doesn’t have to be hidden to be respected—and that sometimes, the most meaningful work happens when we bring our whole selves with us. Perfect for this season of reflection, rest, and realignment.
