Deeply Well with Devi Brown

The Thread of Purpose with Elaine Welteroth


Listen Later

Elaine Welteroth, award-winning journalist and author, discusses the importance of purpose and how it guides her career and life. She emphasizes the need to define what you stand for and what you care about more than money or titles. Welteroth also reflects on her time as the youngest editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue and the challenges she faced in navigating her purpose within the constraints of the title.

Devi and Elaine have a moment of praise for Oprah Winfrey; as an example of someone who has used her platform to empower and elevate others.

Welteroth also shares her experience of being a mother and how it has expanded her understanding of purpose and service. Motherhood inspired her work with Birth Fund, an organization focused on expanding access to midwifery care and improving maternal health in the United States. She points out the broken medical system and the maternal health crisis in the country, emphasizing that the issue affects all families, regardless of socioeconomic status. She explains the importance of midwifery care and the need for more options and resources for birthing people.
