    The Power of Your Story: Motherhood, Speaking, and Being Seen with Marta Spirk

    In this episode, I sit down with Marta Spirk — triplet mom, TEDx speaker, best-selling author, professional singer, and speaking coach — for a powerful conversation about motherhood, identity, entrepreneurship, and the courage it takes to use your voice. After leaving Brazil to start a new life in the United States with her American husband, Marta navigated motherhood far away from the support system she once knew. Her journey into becoming a mother to triplets, while building a business and finding her voice, is both deeply moving and incredibly inspiring. Together, we talk about the power of storytelling, what it means to truly be seen and heard, and how women can transform their lived experiences into impact, influence, and income. Marta also shares how she helps women entrepreneurs craft signature talks that not only move audiences—but open doors. This conversation is for every woman who has ever questioned whether her story mattered enough to share. Spoiler: it does.

    Rooted to Rise: Burnout Is a Maternal Health Crisis — Here’s How We Change It

    You answered the texts. You made the appointments. You held the baby and the budget. You ran the meeting AND remembered the pediatrician appointment. You made it all look easy. Now name one thing you did for you this week. 🤔  Here's the part nobody is saying out loud: The chronic stress, unresolved trauma, and burnout women carry in our bodies show up as hypertension, heart disease, and the comorbidities that contribute to maternal mortality in this country. We cannot heal mothers in a system that breaks the women who serve them. And we cannot ask mothers to thrive while we're also carrying the weight of generations. For this episode we down with three women who have devoted their work to changing that. ✨ Lorin Burke MS LPC, NCC — founder of The Village: A Space for Healing. Lorin is a maternal mental health specialist and licensed therapist who helps women regulate their nervous systems and reconnect with who they are beyond their roles. Her work feels like a deep exhale. ✨ Michal Renee', RCP, NBCHWC — founder of Her Promise Circle and a critical care respiratory therapist with over a decade in the hospital. Michal builds faith-integrated wellness frameworks that prevent crisis before it begins. She is one of the most clinically rigorous and spiritually grounded voices in this work. ✨ Ashley Burton-Mims — certified postpartum doula and founder of Emerald & Rose Consulting. Ashley helps individuals and organizations navigate burnout with research-backed strategies, with a deep commitment to women and gender-expansive people of color. Her tagline says it all: burn bright, not out. And I'll be there as your host — bringing this conversation home to the mothers and maternal leaders we serve every day at The Heart Next Door. This is for the women who believe mothers deserve more than survival — and who are building that future alongside us. If you are a mother running on fumes, this is for you. If you are a doula, midwife, lactation consultant, therapist, or birthworker pouring out daily, this is especially for you. If you love a woman who is doing too much, bring her with you.

    The Hidden Link Between Women’s Health, Wealth, and Maternal-Wellbeing with Nancy Griffin

    Maternal health is often discussed through a clinical lens—but the truth is that the wellbeing of mothers is deeply connected to something much broader: health, financial security, and self-worth. In this episode of The Heart Next Door Podcast, I sit down with Nancy Griffin, CFP, EPC, founder of Women, Worth & Wellness, to explore the powerful relationship between women’s health, wealth, and leadership. Nancy has spent decades helping women understand that true wellbeing requires more than financial planning—it requires aligning health, wealth, and self-worth so women can lead meaningful, impactful lives.  Together we discuss: • Why women often carry disproportionate responsibility for family health and wellbeing • How financial empowerment and maternal health are deeply connected • Why caring for mothers is an investment in families, communities, and future generations • How generosity, leadership, and legacy shape the future for women This conversation is a reminder that maternal health isn’t just a healthcare issue—it’s an economic, social, and leadership issue. Because when mothers thrive, families thrive. And when families thrive, communities do too.

    Behind the Doctor: Dr.Philip Zazove on Medicine, Deafness, and a Mother’s Advocacy

    What happens when a mother refuses to accept limitations placed on her child? In this powerful episode of The Heart Next Door Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Philip Zazove, one of the first Deaf physicians in the United States and a lifelong advocate for equity in healthcare. Dr. Zazove has been Deaf for most of his life, yet he went on to graduate from Washington University, becoming the third Deaf American physician, and later the Department Chair of Family Medicine at the University of Michigan. He primarily served Deaf and hard-of-hearing patients, bringing lived experience, compassion, and accessibility into clinical care. In this conversation, Dr. Zazove shares how his mother’s fierce advocacy when he was a baby shaped everything—from his confidence to his career—and why maternal advocacy in the earliest moments of life can quite literally change the future. He also speaks about The Louise Tumarkin Zazove Foundation, his nonprofit scholarship fund honoring his mother, and why listening to mothers is essential to better health outcomes. This episode is a reminder: when we advocate for mothers, we advocate for generations. 🎧 Topics include: Maternal advocacy and early interventionDisability justice in healthcareDeaf-accessible medicineWhy believing in a child changes everythingThe long-term impact of maternal supportTo learn more about The Louise Tumarkin Zazove foundation visit https://www.ltzfoundation.org/.  To learn more about The Heart Heart Next Door visit https://heartnextdoor.com/.

    It Takes a Village: Honoring the People and Practices That Help Families Thrive with Jordan Irving

    As we close Season 3 of The Heart Next Door Podcast and step into a new year, we’re honoring a truth that has guided every conversation this season: it takes a village. In this season finale, we sit with Jordan Irving, whose work lives at the intersection of youth development, yoga, nature-based healing, environmental justice, and self-care. Together, we explore how rest, healing, and maternal wellbeing are sustained—not through isolation, but through collective care rooted in people, place, and community. This conversation centers the essential role of the village: aunties, youth, elders, advocates, and leaders who create space for mothers to breathe. We reflect on rest as a communal practice, the healing power of nature, and the responsibility we share in building environments where families can truly thrive. As a gift to the Heart Next Door community, we’re opening two doors as we enter the new year: ✨ For new and expecting mothers: Access to The Heart Next Door App is now available to moms everywhere, following the close of our private launch phase. A digital village for new and expecting moms that puts care and community at your fingertips—day and night. https://heartnextdoor.com/ ✨ For maternal advocates and community leaders: We’re opening access to the Village Builder Catalyst Program—a space for those committed to strengthening community-based care and building the villages that help mothers and families thrive. https://terranie-clarke.mykajabi.com/village-builder Season 3 closes with gratitude and intention. Because when mothers are supported, families flourish. And when the village is strong, the future of maternal health is ours. 🤍 Connect with Jordan Irving https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordan-irving-876a9364/
