    Why Postpartum Care Affects EVERYONE

    #Broadlines ✨ This week, Natalie and Rae get deep on postpartum and what it means for women around the world with help from OB/GYN-to-the-stars, Dr. Aliabadi.  In the United States, moms are often sent home from the hospital within 48 hours after giving birth. After one of the most monumental and taxing moments of a woman’s life (not to mention the previous 9+ months...), she’s given less than 2 days to find her bearings before finding the exit. Around the world, this express service is not the norm.  In South Korea, 85% of new moms spend ~21 days in peaceful postpartum care centers called Sanhujoriwon (산후조리원) or “postnatal hotels” where they can focus on rest, nutrition, and healing while government programs help cover the cost.  In Germany, postpartum care lasts over 80 days and midwives visit every new mom for 12 weeks, all covered by insurance. In most of the world, postpartum care means support, not survival mode. So, what gives, America? EPISODE CREDITS...

    Having Friends at Work Increases Productivity, Profitability, and Happiness

    #FQBroadlines ✨ This week, Rae and Natalie discuss how having friends at work can actually improve, well, everything about work! Workplace friendships are proven to drive business outcomes: Think stronger performance and higher retention. And that promotion? Chances are your work bestie helped you get there by cheering you on, giving you honest feedback, and pushing you to grow. According to Gallup, employees with a best friend at work are seven times more likely to be fully engaged. Those moments of spontaneous fun and infusions of BFF energy translate directly to how we handle challenges. With a workplace wing woman, we feel it. Plus, employers are seeing improved profitability. Win-win! EPISODE CREDITS...
