The time has come to share a bittersweet goodbye friends.
After 4 years with Expectful I am moving on to new adventures.
And in closing this chapter I have decided to ask myself the last question I have asked all of our guest since the beginning of this podcast:
“Knowing what you know now, standing in the skin you’re in, if you could share one thing with everyone that’s listening, what would you say?”
I am grateful and honored beyond words. Thank you for being on this journey with me.

How can we make the transition back to work more supportive for new moms?
That challenge is something that today’s guest, Jackie Hodnichak, has been working to solve as a new mom and the Director of Operations and Community at Mettacool. Mettacool is a talent development program for women that addresses career stage-specific challenges through the lens of well-being. And one of the things they specialize in is coaching moms-to-be as they transition both into maternity leave and back to work.
On today’s episode Jackie shares her perspective-shifting postpartum story, talks about how her self-care routine has changed since becoming a mom, and digs into how motherhood has had a profound effect on her career path.

This week’s guest, Cat Seixas, invites us to explore that question as she shares her story of becoming a mother.

How does birth change us?
This question has shaped this week’s guest, Nichole Joy’s path to becoming a doula and childbirth educator. Nichole is revolutionizing the way we do birth with her Digital Doula courses. Courses where she both supports her own clients, and trains other doulas to do the same as well.
On today’s episode, Nichole takes us through all three of her birth stories, sharing her journey from a scheduled c-section with her first child, all the way to an unplanned home birth with her third. She’ll also be speaking about the identity shift that occurs when we become mother’s, and how and why she decided to take her doula work online.
