An Unplanned Pregnancy, Genetic Testing, and Lactation Cookies with Whitney Rovell.

In this episode, Sarah talks with Founder and CEO of Miracle Milkookies, Whitney Rovell. Whitney is the mama behind Miracle Milkookies. She first learned about lactation cookies when her  friend dropped them on my doorstep after having her first baby in 2015. She had NO idea what a lactation cookie was, but she knew they really helped her produce more milk. She googled lactation producing ingredients and learned that oats, yeast and flaxseed seemed to be the magic milk-boosting combo. She added yeast and flax to her go-to oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe, a recipe she had created years before that family and friends always loved. She made the cookies and couldn't believe how great they still tasted, plus she was making SO MUCH MORE MILK! She posted the recipe to her blog (that only my mom read) and called it 'The Miracle Milk Cookie'. On the show, Sarah and Whitney dive into her unplanned pregnancy, the whirldwind of starting a business from her own kitchen while having two babies, working with her husband on the business, and a genetic test marker that forced them to make a difficult decision.
