    “It Takes a Village.” But How Does a Mom Find Her Way In?

    Finding a provider you feel good about can be a relief. Figuring out insurance, pricing, and how to get started can bring a whole new set of questions. In this episode, Terranie shares what happened when she helped an expecting mom connect with a practice she respected—and explores three ways to make getting started easier for families, with less back-and-forth for the team: • Answer common questions before someone commits. • Offer useful help when intake stalls. • Understand what happens after sending a booking link. If you run a maternal health practice, you’ll leave with practical ideas to support families through those next steps. And moms, you may recognize these moments from your own search for care. 👉🏽 Where could getting started be easier at your practice?

    Better Together: The Power of Love, Community & Collaboration

    What happens when we lead with love? In this episode of The Heart Next Door’s Future of Maternal Health Roundtable Series, we’re talking about what becomes possible when we come together—not because we have all the answers, but because we care deeply about one another. This is a conversation about the power of people choosing to show up, stand beside one another, and build something better together. Because the village has never just been about resources. It’s about love. It’s the person who says, “I see you.” The provider who takes an extra moment to listen. The organization that opens its doors. The advocate who keeps showing up. The community that reminds a mother she doesn’t have to carry it all alone.When we choose to collaborate, we’re choosing to care for one another in a bigger way. In this conversation, we invite you to think about what it means to: 🤍 Listen with compassion 🤍 Make room for one another 🤍 Share what we have 🤍 Lift each other up 🤍 And build a village where every mother and family feels seen, supported, and loved At The Heart Next Door, we believe no mother should have to navigate pregnancy, birth, or postpartum alone.And we believe the future of maternal health isn’t only about changing systems.It’s about changing how we show up for each other. So as you listen, we hope you’ll ask yourself:How can I love my village a little better?Because real change can start with something as simple—and as powerful—as showing up. Real stories. Real connection. Real love.Thank you for being here. Thank you for listening. 🤍

    You Can't Pour From an Empty Cup: How to Reclaim Yourself Without Guilt with Vanessa Pereira

    In this powerful episode of The Heart Next Door Podcast, I sit down with award-winning Self-Leadership Expert and Core Energy Coach Vanessa Pereira for a heartfelt conversation about identity, emotional wellness, and what it means to reclaim yourself without guilt. Together, we explore the cycles of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and over-performing that keep so many women disconnected from themselves—and how learning to lead yourself with compassion can transform your health, your relationships, and your life.

It's about caring for the whole woman, mind, body, and spirit, because when women are well, families and communities are stronger.

We also introduce My Pregnancy Journal—a clinician-designed pregnancy and postpartum journal created to help mothers track symptoms, vital signs, fetal movement, recovery milestones, questions for providers, and more. Think of it as having a doula in your pocket.

    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.
