Simmone Taitt, Founder and CEO of Poppy Seed Health (@poppyseedhealth)

TW for pregnancy loss and miscarrying. On this episode, I am joined by fellow Lafayette alumni Simmone Taitt, founder and CEO of Poppy Seed Health. Simmone shares the premise behind her company, why she founded it and the core of its business model. We discuss the differences between doulas and doctors, the importance of having a support system when pregnant and the scarce education around miscarriages. We discuss the lack of focus on mental health throughout pregnancy and privilege in medical care depending on the color of your skin.    Key talking points:   The premise and core business model of Poppy Seed Health The differences between doulas and doctors Lack of focus on mental health throughout pregnancy Privilege in medical care depending on the color of your skin   Follow Simmone Taitt: Instagram: @poppyseedhealth Website: poppyseedhealth.com   Follow me: Instagram: @freckledfoodie Website: freckledfoodie.com TikTok: freckledfoodie Twitter: @freckledfoodie Youtube: Cameron Rogers / Freckled Foodie Pinterest: Freckled Foodie   This episode was edited by Tim Flanzbaum    Hosted on Acast.
