    Season 2 - Episode 6 - The "Mother Load"

    We're back from our mid-season break, and in today's episode I am discussing the "Mother Load." The invisible work that mom's do and how it often goes unnoticed and we are as a society (and the men in the mother's lives) help to ease the burden. I also touch on the "Mother load project" which is being led by Professor Ameeta Jaga at the University of Cape Town. It's such an interesting topic, with so many layers and I cannot wait for us to delve into it. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tasmin Bota is a wife, mom of 3, Founder and Executive Director of Preemie Connect and CEO of Preemie Baby World.Socials: www.instagram.com/lifeluveverything www.facebook.com/lifeluveverything www.instagram.com/preemieconnect www.facebook.com/preemieconnect www.instagram.com/preemiebabyworld www.facebook.com/preemiebabyworld.com

    Season 2 - Episode 4 - Website Debacle

    In this week's episode I finally breakdown what whent wrong with our online store's website and why it is none existant. But that doesn't mean that we are not still selling. You can still place your orders online for some preemie baby essentials and we have even launched a new product, the NICU journal . The journal has been a labour of love, created by a NICU parent for a NICU parent.
