This week on the WoMed, we have the pleasure of hearing from our first ever certified nurse midwife, Tanya Tringali! Tanya discusses midwifery school, distanced education programs, and the vast range of care midwives offer. She also shares the need for continuing education for older midwives to ensure they can offer transgender healthcare and to ensure their practice is able to serve all women. D and Tanya dive into the primary barrier she believes her patients face, which is the systemic issue of the postpartum care gap. We also learn about Tanya’s company, Mother Wit, which services a wide-range of people; she will take care of anyone in need of support, but is the first to involve a third party if necessary. Throughout the episode, D and Tanya also touch on the relationship between fitness, nutrition, midwifery and pregnancy.

This week, D is joined by medical speech-language pathologist Lauren Sharpe-Payne. She dives into why she became an SLP, the schooling required, and her favorite and least favorite parts of the job.

This week on The WoMed, Danielle is joined by an old friend and coworker, Shemeka Davis! Shemeka now works as a family nurse practitioner in oncology. She discusses her path to oncology, why she wanted to become an FNP, and how she copes with the mortality rate in her new role. She also shares the versatility and benefits of being an FNP, but also how she misses those hands-on skills she used to practice daily.

Welcome to Season 3 of The WoMed! In the season premiere, Danielle is joined by the incredibly inspiring Clare Surette, who is living with Crohn’s disease. Clare talks all about destigmatizing Crohn’s and appreciating your body through it all. She opens up about the lack of resources she has found, but how social media helps her feel seen, heard, and connect with others. She discusses mental health, the pandemic, her education background in public health, and her plans for the future. Despite the optimism we hear from Clare, she still has her insecurities; the biggest of them all? Dating with her added “accessory,” her ostomy. She also shares advice with others in her same situation, facing the loop ileostomy that ultimately, she says, gave her her life back. She then offers advice for medical professions including: be patient, listen, and don’t rush your patients or push decisions on them. Ultimately, she encourages us to treat people as unique humans and not just a number in the medical system.
