Welcome to Moms Interrupted: Why Every Mom Deserves a Village And Why We Started This Podcast

This is where it all started.In episode one, best friends and perinatal educators Taylor and Natasha introduce themselves, explain why they finally hit record, and get into the thing that drove them both into this world: the fact that modern motherhood is set up to fail moms, and nobody's talking honestly enough about it.Taylor is a certified Lamaze childbirth educator, lactation counselor, and DONA-trained doula — and the daughter of a community doula who grew up watching births in her neighborhood. Natasha is a lactation counselor and mom of two who stumbled into this work after her first postpartum experience left her Googling alone in the dark at 3am wondering if what she was going through was normal. (It was. Nobody told her.)Together they talk about why they built this podcast around accessibility — because the information exists, it's just not getting to moms when and where they need it. They get into the very real postpartum care gap: how pregnant women see their OB constantly, and then after birth get one six-week appointment and a pamphlet. How the Edinburgh postnatal depression scale gets lied through because admitting how you actually feel is terrifying. How the village that's supposed to surround new mothers has completely disappeared, and what it costs women when it does.But they also talk about the fun stuff. Because motherhood isn't just hard — it's hilarious and wild and worth every bit of it, and they refuse to add to the doom and gloom.No judgment. All types of mothering. Real credentials, real friendship, real talk.Welcome to the village.Topics covered: postpartum support, the village, postpartum depression, postpartum care gap, why moms Google everything, lactation education, childbirth education, doula training, perinatal educators, mom podcast, new mom communityXX, Natasha & Taylor
