Well-Adjusted Mama podcast

29:22

The world often feels rigged. And this episode is a wake-up call to recognize the barriers that exist for those who don’t fit the traditional mold. In this episode, which is a kind of tribute to my dear departed Dad, I recount some powerful lessons from the man who was a brilliant psychiatrist and my biggest champion. He taught me that if something feels off about the environment you’re in, it probably is—and it’s absolutely hella-not your fault. We dare to break into the uncomfortable truth that many workplaces are designed for a very specific demographic, leaving neurodivergent individuals, particularly those on the autism spectrum, feeling excluded. I share three stories in which my Dad imparted to me more than my fair share of his wisdom, and I'm hoping you to can feel empowered. You'll learn that we can advocate for ourselves and others to create a more inclusive work culture.

Jaimie Zaki: Reclaiming the Lost Generational Knowledge of Breastfeeding | WAM226 45:35

17 weeks тому45:35

45:35

JAIMIE ZAKI is here to help you enter motherhood with confidence. After realizing the medical maternal wellness system was not equipped to truly help mothers and babies thrive, she made it her personal mission to do her part to help bridge the gap of maternal health and wellness support. As a new mother who just experienced a difficult and unwanted cesarean birth, Jaimie dreamed of a peaceful breastfeeding experience to bond with her new baby. Instead, she was met with pain, misery, an angry baby, and heartbreak. The support structures she assumed would be in place to solve these issues were not able to help reach their goals, and even seemed in many ways to undermine her innate desire to nurse her baby. After finding mother-to-mother support that dragged her through the darkest days of her postpartum experience, Jaimie decided that more support was needed in the world, and instead of conforming to and trying to fix a broken structure within the corporate medical model, she would step outside of that model to help mothers where they were - at home. This is why Jaimie embarked on a journey to become a birth doula and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. After welcoming five babies, she has learned that wellness exists most naturally when we find the right balance between allopathic medicine and holistic wellness - ultimately learning two things: informed consent and trusting our intuition. Her goal is to help mothers find this balance as they seek wellness in pregnancy, postpartum and beyond. Check out her website link below and enter code WellAdjusted50 for 50% her online programs!
