Katherine Goldstein: How America’s Letting Down Moms
Work Like a Mother
02/15/22 • 35 min
Today, Bridget chats with Katherine Goldstein- Journalist, and Creator and Host of The Double Shift Podcast.
Once Katherine became a mom, she became acutely aware of how society was failing mothers. She, like so many of us, fell victim to blaming ourselves rather than acknowledging that the challenges that mothers face are societal issues. But then Katherine channeled her journalist skills to “stop feeling guilty and start feeling mad”. Katherine is a passionate advocate for mothers. She uses her platform as a podcast host of the award winning Double Shift and as a writer to inspire other moms to advocate and take action.

The idea exploded into an extremely successful family run business. Yet what continues to make Mia so successful is her authenticity and her deep connection with her brand’s amazing community of moms. As a mom of 7, Mia gets it, she’s been through it, and her gift of words to convey that connection on social media propelled the brand to its success.

How Two Boston Nurses Founded NAPS to Support New Parents
Work Like a Mother
01/12/21 • 34 min
When Jamie and Emily were labor and delivery nurses at Boston-area hospitals in their twenties, they would constantly hear from parents who would say, “If only I could take you home with us!” The thought of the first few nights at home was terrifying. This gave Jamie and Emily an idea- why not provide that support for new moms? That’s when NAPS was born. 9 years later, NAPS has evolved from providing overnight nursing care and in-home lactation consults to an all encompassing program that supports parents from pregnancy through the toddler years. Jamie and Emily founded NAPS to support women in a non-judgmental way that leaves them feeling confident and proud of the decisions they make for themselves and their families.
Nurture by NAPS is an online learning platform with members-only content that guides you through every stage of pregnancy and parenting. It combines video how-to’s, live Q&As, in-depth care guides and a super popular ‘Ask a Nurse’ forum to help you thrive as a parent.

Each time she found a bigger opportunity that pushed her personally and professionally, and ultimately landed her her current role with Folia Health where she’s able to leverage her health-tech expertise for a mission that is near and dear to her heart. Christina reflects on her journey and the advice she shares with future moms.

The Fifth Trimester: Gender Equity at Work and at Home in 2020
Work Like a Mother
08/24/20 • 30 min
After the birth of her first son, and following a standard 3-month maternity leave, Lauren returned to work as an editor at Glamour. It was hard, and she never felt a need to pretend it was easy. She didn’t go around broadcasting her struggles in the office, but she didn’t feel like she had anything to hide either. Soon coworkers started to acknowledge her and even thank her for being a role model and “speaking up.” Those small moments and recognitions made Lauren realize there was a much bigger story here that needed to be told. A journalist at heart, Lauren dove in and researched all aspects of working-motherhood, particularly the return to work phase that she would come to call the “fifth trimester.” Since 2017 her book and consultancy of the same name have brought these insights and conversations to offices, boardrooms, and living rooms across the country, and helped thousands of women, myself included, navigate and understand what it means to return to work.
