All Episodes

March 1, 2022 • 56 mins

Today we welcome our guests Cindi Michaelson and Crissy Fishbane hosts of the Mama Needs a Moment podcast and founders of HER Health Collective.

HER Health Collective is a small business led by two women with a big social mission to revolutionize the way mothers take care of themselves physically, mentally, and emotionally. They are dedicated to improving postpartum care for women in the United States, where maternal outcomes are often ranked last compared to other developed nations. This gap in care is a serious flaw in our healthcare system.

As the founders of HER Health Collective, Cindi and Crissy are motivated by knowledge of this massive flaw in how our healthcare system serves mothers and how it has affected them personally in their own motherhood journeys. They saw a need to provide real support for the mothers in this country and set out to build a system that would better serve them.

HER Health Collective has a two-pronged approach to serving moms. The first key component is their resource network, including a panel of experts and library of vetted content, that provides moms easy access to trusted information. The second key component is our supportive and welcoming community, called HER Circle. This community has been intentionally created to help moms build authentic and genuine relationships with other mothers. They know that if a mom is armed with these two key components - trusted knowledge and a supportive community - she can conquer any challenge.

Today we chat about:

Maternal Mental Health
The challenge of making friends as an adult but especially moms
The Goddess myth: what it is, why it's dangerous, and how we can manage expectations
What it means to "take care of yourself" as a mom - we're not just talking bubble baths here
Diet culture and it's impact on this generation of moms
and SO much more
