    When Brianna Neufeld was looking to start trying to conceive, she could not find any supplement out there tailored to sperm health.

She cofounded Mate & Me to give couples a fun way to take prenatals together before trying to conceive. We are chatting about sperm health in this episode and its importance in our babies' health.

    EP 224: Lawsuits and Childbirth with Attorney, Gina Mundy

    EP 224: Lawsuits and Childbirth with Attorney, Gina Mundy

    Gina Mundy is an attorney specializing in childbirth cases. For over 20 years, her focus has been investigating and analyzing mistakes that arise during labor and delivery. She has spent
    countless hours meticulously scrutinizing childbirth cases, conducting interviews with delivery teams, and thoroughly examining medical records to gain an in-depth understanding of every decision made during labor and delivery. Throughout her career Gina has traveled nationwide, engaging with healthcare professionals such as doctors, nurses, and midwives to explore all aspects of labor and delivery. These interactions have provided her with invaluable insights, enabling her to appreciate the diverse perspectives prevalent in different regions of the country.
    In June 2023, Gina's book "A Parent's Guide to a Safer Childbirth" was published. The book helps parents to avoid the mistakes during childbirth and have a healthy baby. Instead of getting involved after a mistake was made, Gina is getting involved before childbirth to help prevent the
    mistakes.

    EP 322: Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child with Kelley Coleman

    Kelley Coleman is a mom to two amazing boys, one of whom has multiple disabilities (including a yet-undiagnosed genetic syndrome, cerebral palsy, autism, CVI, epilepsy, and more). 
    Presented with empathy and humor, Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child gives parents the tools to conquer the stuff, so that they can spend less time filling out forms, and more time loving their children exactly as they are. 
    Kelley’s message resonates with everyone, even parents whose children are not disabled. We all know someone in this camp (whether it's a kid with ADHD or a rare disease). Kelley's tools and resources change lives for families who have a child with disabilities and all of those who interact with them.

Great podcast

I love this podcast! I loved the most recent episode with Liz and Vito talking real life about parenting and marriage. Needed to hear that.

Love this podcast!

I have been listening to this podcast for a long time and I have gotten so much education and different perspectives from Liz and all the guests that come on. I love that Liz works hard to have highly educated guests to really expose her listeners to different views and discussions. I am in my 2nd pregnancy and have listened to this podcast since ttc with my first and I love all the information and resources that Liz talks about and all the great guests she brings on.

Room for improvement

Liz constantly uses some iteration of "dive in" or "season of life," and it drives me especially bonkers when she says "if you are listening" because of course we are listening or we wouldn't be hearing you in the first place. It's also odd that there are so many guests from Canada. Liz obviously doesn't have a real career - a former night club waitriess turned doula, and the "doula stuff" seems to have gone by the wayside. I like keeping up with Liz and her family life, but honestly, most of the information presented on this show is readily available on the internet.
