This week (May 10-16, 2020) is National Women's Health Week here in the US. I've decided to share some of my perspective as to what's really going on in women's healthcare right now--specifically how it affects breastfeeding mothers and their babies. My goal in this episode is to empower you to seek out the resources you need to improve your own health. That's easier said than done in a lot of cases! But not to fear...I've got some great solutions for you in today's episode!

In this episode, you'll hear:

• How women are underprepared for motherhood and the health challenges of birth and postpartum
• Areas of the government and healthcare structure that need improvement and how we can change things as citizens
• What to do if you need more support and are exhausted with trying to find it
• Resources to support you right NOW in your breastfeeding journey
