Ep.18 Meet Advanced Certified Doula, Adriana Lozada

Meet Adriana Lozada! She's an Advanced Certified Doula - there are only 57 advanced certified doulas in the world.
She's also an author, a postpartum educator and a child sleep consultant. And she was named one of CNN in Espanol, 20 Latin American leaders of the internet in 2000. She also hosts the acclaimed podcast BIRTHFUL- one of my favorite resources for everything, pregnancy birth and postpartum - alternating between interviews with perinatal professionals and birth stories with new parents.
She found her calling as a doula through her own birth journey almost 20 years ago when she realized that she didn't have the skills to navigate labor and delivery in a way that was empowering rather than traumatic. Her message now. It's about the physiology! We need to feel safe for labor to progress naturally so that we can support our physiology in a way that's going to make our birth easier, and more empowering.
Adriana believes in, and advocates for, the transformational power of giving birth. She’s gifted at helping others on their perinatal journeys, and brings her deep knowledge, practical expertise, curiosity, and respect for inclusivity into all aspects of her work. Adriana is an unabashed advocate for improving the perinatal health system for all - and a self-proclaimed, birth nerd. :)

Ep.17 Elevating the Pelvic Floor with Katie Bayer, DPT
Lets talk about the pelvic floor! We all have one - for women, it's the group of muscles "down below" that play a star role in the birth of our babies, but do any of us really understand it? After this podcast, you'll be on your way, thanks to Pelvic Floor Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT), and Owner of Transition Physical Therapy Katie Bayer! She's also a member of the Mamistad Mami Circle - our curated list of providers.
The best part is, IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO WORK ON PELVIC FLOOR ISSUES! Katie reinforces the fact that our bodies are never the same after having a baby and if our pelvic floor is not functioning correctly, the rest of us is not functioning correctly!
We'll learn how we can greatly benefit from Pelvic Floor PT before, during and after pregnancy and throughout our lives! If you can pull up a diagram of the pelvic floor reference, it could be hugely helpful! :)
In this podcast, we'll talk about:
- The huge part scar tissue can play
- VBACs (vaginal delivery after c-section)
- The importance of movement when possible
Incontinence - Kegels - Yes or No?
- Sex after pregnancy
- Preventing issues later in life
- How pelvic floor issues can lead us to the nursing home or even early death.
As always, you should absolutely consult your personal medical health professionals with your personal health concerns.

Ep.19 Parent Coaching with Washington Post Parenting Columnist, Meghan Leahy
1 RecommendationsIn this episode, we welcome Meghan Leahy. She is the On Parenting columnist for The Washington Post, a certified parenting coach. and author of an Amazon Editor's Pick titled Parenting Outside the Lines!
Meghan's passion was born out of her epic power struggles with her two-and-a-half-year-old daughter while she was pregnant with her second. She had run out of ideas and felt angry, frustrated, out of control, fatigued, and deep down, very scared. Her years of training have taught her what good parent/child connections look and feel like and that we can only change ourselves - NOT everyone else. She calls herself a heart-centered parent coach in a data-driven world.
