Today's episode is a part of our "About Your Mother" series honoring Every Mother Counts. Bono lost his mother Iris when he was 14 years old. She had an aneurysm at her father's funeral and as he says, he's been singing to her ever since. This is a very special conversation, possibly my favorite interview of all time, made more lovely and intimate by the friendship between Bono and Christy going back many years now.

Funny with a touch of Irish melancholy. That's how actor, director, producer Edward Burns described Molly, his mother, to me and my co-host, Christy Turlington Burns (who has been married to Eddie for 20+ years).

The first of a 5-part series of conversations about moms in honor of Every Mother Counts. Jen G, as we call her in my house, is as special and wonderful as you think she is. She is such a ready learner that she carries around a pen and notebook everywhere she goes. She cares about all the right things and not one bit of the nonsense. She is still, in many essential ways, one of the “Garner girls” from West Virginia. Today's conversation, co-hosted by Christy Turlington Burns, celebrates Jen's mom, Pat (and a little bit, Jen's dad, Billy Jack Garner, who died only 10 days before we recorded). I have loved knowing Jen since we met at The Nantucket Project many years ago and am grateful she could be with us for this series.

During my research on last week's episode on post partum, I learned that my own state of Arkansas holds the #1 spot in the US for maternal mortality rates. I'm interviewing Dr. Zenobia Harris today, whose accolades in this field are numerous to try to understand what's not happening in Arkansas that needs to happen - and what states are doing it right and how. Dr. Harris heads up the Arkansas Birthing Project, and is an incredible force and national advocate for health equity and for improvements to family, child, and maternal health. The program as well as the national organization Every Mother Counts is reaching out to minority women and their families, who are much more likely to suffer severe medical problems both during and after pregnancy.

Episode Transcript This is SelfWork. And I'm Dr. Margaret Rutherford. At SelfWork, we'll discuss psychological and emotional issues common in today's world and what to do about them. I'm Dr. Margaret, and SelfWork is a podcast dedicated to you taking just a few minutes today for your own selfwork. Speaker 2: Dr. Margaret Hello and welcome or welcome back to SelfWork. I'm Dr. Margaret Rutherford, and I'm so glad you're here. This week, we had another reminder of the seriousness of post partum depression - or the potentially fatal mixture of new motherhood and suicide. Dr. Krystal Caschetta, an oncologist, is reported to have killed her 4 month-old daughter and then killed herself in New York.  Current evidence seems to support that she was suffering from the most severe type of post partum, or what's called post partum psychosis, where the new mother is besieged with delusions or hallucinations that can govern her behavior and lead to violence against her baby and her self. It's another set of gruesome tragedies that demands our attention because these deaths can be prevented with the right care and understanding. I'm sure there will be more to report. And our hearts go out to that family and others who've experienced such a harsh reminder of the mental and emotional toll pregnancy can take. During my research on last week's episode on post partum, I learned that my own state of Arkansas holds the #1 spot in the US for maternal mortality rates. I'm interviewing Dr. Zenobia Harris today, whose accolades in this field are numerous. She heads up the Arkansas Birthing Project, and is an incredible force and national advocate for health equity and for improvements to family, child, and maternal health. The program as well as the national organization Every Mother Counts is reaching out to minority women and their families, who are much more likely to suffer severe medical problems both during and after pregnancy. What's amazing is that those statistics can be reversed with support for that mom during pregnancy - provided by who Dr. Harris calls "sister friends."  Here on SelfWork, we talk about what you can do about it. Dr. Harris is doing just that and creating a network of sister friends that are saving lives- and we want to support that mission here at SelfWork! We want to welcome back Magnesium Breakthrough as a sponsor of SelfWork once again! In fact, Mag Breakthrough helped me avoid a side effect of another medication I needed to take for a few days simply by helping my colon function better. I love this product! Commercial for MagBreakThrough Hey guys, I wanna share with you that recently I've been working on some very important projects that have very short deadlines, as always, right?

I was starting to get really stressed out when I remembered that the magnesium breakthrough I take every night is also a great support for stress management, and I'd kind of forgotten that. In fact, magnesium is responsible for over 300 body reactions, and Magnesium Breakthrough is the only magnesium formula that delivers all seven different forms of magnesium. I didn't know there were seven forms, one of them being feeling more calm, centered, and in control of our stress. If you are trying to balance life demands, give it a try.

Speaker 2: So now I'd like to introduce you to Dr. Zenobia Harris, head of the Arkansas Birthing Project, and a highly respected advocate for improving the care and support that all mothers receive, but especially moms of color who are the most at risk. Speaker 3: Dr. Harris The Arkansas Birthing Project is located in the main office is in Little Rock, but we do have birthing projects in various counties around Arkansas and primarily in southeast Arkansas. We primarily work with African American women and women of color. Yes. Speaker 2: So, but tell me about how long have you been the head of the birthing project and what do y'all do and talk about some maternal mortality issues. Speaker 3: Well, the Arkansas Birthing Project is an affiliate of Birthing Project, USA, which is a 40 year old black maternal and child health organization that originally formed in California Uhhuh , but it was founded by a woman from Arkansas. Really? Her name is Catherine Trujillo, and she was from Moscow, Arkansas. Yeah. But she was actually working for the California Department of Health and Human Services and was spending a huge amount of money as a fiscal agent on preterm Babies Care. Okay. And so she decided to do, conduct a social experiment with several of her friends. They decided to provide support to pregnant women during their pregnancy. There were, were 10 of them, and they each got a mentee, a little pregnant woman who they provided material and physical supports to during pregnancy and social supports, and they were astounded by the outcomes. Speaker 3: Traditionally statistically, the young women that they partnered with should have had really poor outcomes, and they didn't. The babies were born close to term or on term, the baby's weighed more than 5, 6, 5 and a half pounds at birth. Wow. they had a non-eventful delivery, and they did quite well after birth. And so they replicated this in that community several times and ended up at one, at, at later time, actually establishing a health clinic in a really at-risk community in the Sacramento area. And this kind of just sort of spread through informal networks. The, the idea of doing this well I, I saw Catherine when she came to Arkansas about, oh, about 10 years after she had founded the birthing project. She did a, a program for the March of Dimes, and I was mesmerized by the work she was doing. And so I became involved with the birthing project at that time. Yeah. And have been, had been working on it part-time until I actually retired from my work as a administrator with the Arkansas Department of Health and have been doing the birthing project full-time now in Arkansas since 2016. Speaker 2: I should add, you have your doctorate in nurse practitioner, Speaker 3: But we what we do is we go into local communities and train community women to provide support to women during their pregnancy. Speaker 2: What did those in initial mentors do? Or what is that? What does that support look like? Speaker 3: Well we primarily focus, of course, on social supports because many of the women that we interact with are women who identify as people who fall through the cracks. Perhaps they don't have a, a permanent place to live, or they have food insecurity, or they don't, they're not seeking prenatal care for various reasons because they don't know how to access it or they don't know have transportation, all those kinds of issues. Speaker 2: Too Expensive. They don't have insurance. Yeah, exactly. Speaker 3: Exactly. And some of them don't have family members to support them. They don't have close, you know people in their lives that will provide that support during this really special time in their lives. And so, our sister friends who are our mentors, we encourage them to become really familiar with the resources in their local communities. Okay. And to work with their little sisters to access those resources that she needs to have a good outcome. Okay. We require that the sister friends work with the little sisters to make sure they get a source of prenatal care and that they keep their prenatal appointments. If they have need transportation, help them work on identifying that we encourage our sister friends not to make your little sister dependent on you, but to encourage her to be independent. Speaker 2: That's an important point, isn't it? Wow. Yes. Speaker 3: Yes. Speaker 2: So what about postnatal care? Because I mean, you know, last week I did this episode on postpartum depression and found out that suicide and drug overdose is accounts for about 25% of the mortality deaths. Is that right? The maternal deaths? Is that correct? Speaker 3: Maternal? Yes, that's correct. Mental health related issues certainly have a huge impact. And unfortunately, some physical health issues also impact our maternal mortality issues such as undiagnosed health conditions such as diabetes, right. Cardiac disease, hypertension, which can lead to eclampsia, preeclampsia, and eclampsia, and which can be very fatal. And unfortunately for many African American women it is, Speaker 2: I'm so sorry. And the, the couple of articles, 84% of those deaths were preventable. Speaker 3: Yes. That is a, that is a huge tragedy for our communities. Huge, huge, huge tragedy and a huge loss of potential of human potential that could you know, be at work in these communities helping to improve the status of our communities. So it's a, it's a huge loss that we experience when these things happen. Speaker 2: Yes, it is. And as well as the children they bore, you know, so Yes. Speaker 3: Right. And unfortunately, sometimes we lose the babies as well. You know, we have the fourth highest infant mortality rate in the United States as well. Speaker 2: Do we really,? Speaker 3: Arkansas. Speaker 2: Wow. Speaker 2: Which are the states that are doing it better? What are the states that are doing it better and, and how are they doing it better? Speaker 3: Well as you, you may or may not be aware many states, over 30 of our states in the United States have extended the coverage for Medicaid for women postpartum. You know, in Arkansas, their postpartum coverage cuts off for women who are Medicaid eligible after the second, after two months after delivery. Oh my goodness. Well, many states - about 30 states - have extended that coverage for the first year of life because these deaths can often occur during the postpartum period. Many of them occur during the postpartum period when women don't have coverage. And what we, what they have found is that women will put off going to the doctor because they don't have money to pay for their care. And so they put off their symptoms and they'll deny their symptoms or delay, you know, seeking care until it's unfortunately too late. Speaker 2: What do you know for the mental health aspect of things? Speaker 3: Well, I think we, we do have a real acute shortage of mental health providers in our state, as you probably are very well aware mm-hmm. , and there's some parts of our state that are worse than others. And so dealing with that, in addition to some of the stigma that is associated with seeking psychological care and support is something that we've got to address as a society. Speaker 2: Now, if I read some of the articles disagreed with one another about this, so let me ask you... I read in one article that the mental health problems, suicide and drug overdose were more prevalent in minority women than white women. And then another article, it said, no, they're about the same. Speaker 3: They're about the same. Okay. In my experience. Okay. Speaker 2: Okay. Yes. Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. You know, we have the first trimester, second trimester, third trimester is, you know, when during the time the baby is born. Sure. And then, of course, that fourth trimester, which is the period, the immediate period after birth, actually that first year after birth of the baby. I think something that we need to make some distinctions about, or what we call baby blues. Have you heard that terminology, baby blues? Speaker 2: Oh, yes, of course. Speaker 3: Have, mm-hmm. versus postpartum depression. And I think sometimes people get those things confused. In the baby blues, you know, a little bit of melancholy and uncertainty and perhaps a little depression after birth because of all this tremendous hormonal and body changes that are occurring. If it lasts longer than two weeks, then we're really talking about postpartum depression. Speaker 2: And speaking of that, there is a, a, a medication that has just been FDA approved for postpartum depression, specifically for postpartum depression. Now I'm real excited about that. But, you know, my, my podcast goes well, I have listeners from all over the world, but certainly all over the United States. What, what could a woman do or, or a friend of someone who's pregnant? What are all these, is it called the Tennessee Birthing Project? Is it called the Mississippi Birthing Project? What, what are the, or the California, whatever it is, how can people plug themselves in or plug people in that they, that they know and love into these kinds of programs? Speaker 3: Well, the birthing project is just one of many opportunities I think we have available in our local communities to provide support to women during this really critical time. You know, there's been a lot of discussion about community doulas as well, and the supports that they provide. Yes. And I think there's room for everyone. The birthing project specifically, we identify people who are lay people. They don't necessarily have to be trained medical people, and they don't necessarily have to have any kind of certification, but we work with them and support them so that they can in turn, feel free and empowered to support a, an individual person basically like becoming a, a good friend of that person. Okay. A reliable and trustworthy friend. And Birthing Project USA, which is based out of Albuquerque, New Mexico is sort of the hub where people go to get information to establish birthing projects in other states. There are even some international birthing projects in Cuba in Ghana and other foreign nations. Speaker 2: Can you tell the audience what, what a doula is? Speaker 3: Well, a doula is an individual who is specially trained and experienced to provide to women at doing support during very critical times, either during their pregnancy, during labor and delivery postpartum. And there are even some some bereavement doulas who actually provide specialized support to real, recognize important needs that women and their families have as well. Mm-Hmm. , and to provide those supports to them to make sure that they have good pregnancy outcomes. So they are right there with women in the delivery area. They're that other voice in that other set of eyes and hands in that area and space that women need often when they're going through this real critical period, because as you know, it's very stressful and often, sometimes decisions have to be made pretty quickly, and it is good to have someone there who is very focused on the needs and the desires of the woman involved Right. During this real critical period. Speaker 2: Right. So if people wanted to either volunteer or donate, they could go to the Birthing Project, USA Speaker 3: Or the Arkansas Birthing Project if they're in Arkansas. Speaker 2: Sure, sure, sure. Mm-Hmm. . Well, yeah. Most, a lot of my listeners are New Yorkers and California people. So Speaker 3: Birthing Project USA. it's listed they do have a web, there's a website Birthing Project USA, and we'd be happy, they can indicate that they're interested in more information, and we'd be happy to get in touch with them. Arkansas has been asked to do some of the training for Birthing Project U S A because they appreciate the model that we have in our state. We're the only state that has multiple birthing projects in different counties compared to some of the other, you may have just one birthing project in one particular area in their state. Speaker 2: I have a sneaking suspicion that's about you, Speaker 3: . Well, I'm, I'm very passionate about this work. I'm very committed to it. And I just want to make sure that our next generation is prepared to provide supports that women need during this really important time in our lives. We're building our communities and we want to make sure that we get the full benefit of every person, the full humanity of every person in our communities safely delivered into this in our communities, and safely ensconced in our communities empowered to achieve the goals that God has set before them so that they can be full functioning citizens in our society. Speaker 2: I, I couldn't, well, very well said and eloquently said, by the way, so I'm so glad you could come on. And I hope to, again, it's Birthing Project USA or in if you live in Arkansas, it's the Arkansas Birthing Project. This is Dr. Zenobia Harris, and I'm delighted, absolutely delighted that you've joined me today. Thank you so very much, Speaker 3: Dr. Margaret. Can I do one more plug You regarding Every Mother Counts. Every Mother Counts has been very generous working with us. They actually have produced a film called Giving Birth in America, Arkansas. Oh. And we are encouraging people to access that film. It can be accessed on Every Mother Counts website to schedule viewings of the, of the film. And if you are interested in having a discussion groups set aside, we can certainly arrange that for you too, because we want people to talk about this very important issue of maternal mortality in our state and come together on solutions for this very important issue. Speaker 2: What is the name of it again? Because I will put it in the show notes. Speaker 3: Giving Birth in America, Arkansas, and it's on the Every Mother Counts website. Speaker 2: Okay. I got it. Speaker 3: Thank you. And thank you to Every Mother Counts too, for their support. Speaker 2: Yeah. They seem like an incredible organization. Speaker 3: Well, thank you so much, Dr. Margaret. Speaker 2: Of course. Of course. Anytime. Speaker 3: All right, let's stay in touch. I'm sure you were as impressed with Dr. Harris as I am and was. Please reach out to her and all the organizations. Most states are gonna have some sort of support group like this as well as Every Mother Counts. That's a national organization, and I bet there are others. I know that not everyone who listens to SelfWork is from the United States, so please look around for help that you might need and benefit from. As usual, thank you for being here. It's an exciting week. My TED Talk has reached a hundred thousand views and many of you are probably those who have viewed it. So I want to thank you very much. We've got a lot of plans for the fall, and I can't wait to begin to introduce them to you. Thank you. Thank you for being here. Please take care of yourself, your family, and your community. I'm Dr. Margaret, and this has been self work. .

You risk losing the entire marketing plan you've worked tirelessly to build.  This is why today's guest, Joe Balestrino, advises businesses to diversify their marketing efforts. Don't go all-in on one strategy that works right now — because nothing lasts forever. Instead, create a robust plan that utilizes different marketing tactics and builds a foundation to scale. It may cost a bit more upfront, but it will be well worth it once you start generating leads and reaching new customers.  In this episode of the Multiply You Podcast, Austin Clark sits down with Joe Balestrino, Solutions Marketing Specialist at Digital Containment and Head of Digital Marketing at 4PointDigital Inc., to discuss the best marketing practices for home service businesses. Joe talks about where you should begin your marketing journey, why testing and community engagement are essential, and tips to dial in on your advertisements and optimize your marketing budget.

This week I had the pleasure to speak with Timberlin "Timbo" Henderson. He is a Dine trail runner from Fruitland, New Mexico. He graduated from Piedra Vista in Farmington, NM before going on to Western Colorado. We talk about how he got started in running, doing youth races, and becoming more serious as he got older. He talked about some of the runners he looked up to growing up. He then talked about continuing to pursue his running into college. We talked about his transition from running in the traditional college system before moving to the Mountain Sports division of sports at Western Colorado and into trail running. It is a fascinating program that I would love to see take  hold here in New Mexico.  Timberlin also talks about his 420 Run Project from November and the two charities he worked with for the project, Every Mother Counts and Fundamental Needs, as well as his sponsor, Stigma Wellness.  It was a fun interview and I'm glad to have gotten the chance to talk with Timberlin. He is currently training for some other big races, but is coming back for the Shiprock Marathon on May 6th, register here.  The weather has been up and down, but it finally is feeling warm. Those spring winds are still here in the afternoon. It's marathon season. It's track season. It's running season, as always. Enjoy your training, trust the taper, and keep running, New Mexico.

81. Athletic Fundraising to Feed Your Spirit! A young woman turns training for a marathon into a fundraiser.  This episode is about how athletic fundraising can feed your spirit! Grace Dekoker Today's Lexi: Μαραθώνας — Marathonas (Marathon) In Today's Episode: A pre-med student organizes her training schedule into a fundraising opportunity to raise money for EMC- Every Mother Counts. A light yet informative interview with pre-med student Grace Dokoker highlights the benefits of running and moving which yields a natural emotional outlet.  There is more than one way to prepare for the Chicago marathon, the world's 6th biggest event.  Consider partnering with a charity and simultaneously feed your spirit. Grace has chosen the charity EMC, Every Mother Counts.  Learn what this organization is all about and why it is so important to donate to the cause. Ola Kala Moment: For Today's Ola Kala Moment: Destination Event Locations Resources: Fundraising Page for Grace Dekoker for 2022 A Message From Grace Hi everyone! I'm running the 2022 Bank of America Chicago Marathon, and fundraising for an amazing organization called Every Mother Counts. If you know me, you know how passionate I am about women's healthcare and health equity, in both the United States and globally. I wanted my first marathon to stand for something larger than myself, and I found this fantastic organization, whose work and mission resonates with my heart.  Childbirth is the oldest bodily process, and yet the miracles of modern medicine seem to fall short in women's health. Many women cannot access appropriate care, are facing long-term health consequences after childbirth, and are dying due to labor complications every day. Worse yet, this problem is pervasive worldwide, and for different reasons: in Tanzania and Haiti, lack of experienced providers, especially in rural areas, mean women who experience emergencies may not be able to access care. In Guatemala, Indigenous Mayan women are more than twice as likely to experience severe complications or death in childbirth than non-Indigenous women. In the United States, over-medicalization and a high cesarean rate are detrimental to care. We are one of two countries in the world with a rising maternal mortality rate and have the worst MM rate in the western world. These problems are all unique, and thus, each requires their own unique solution. Every Mother Counts works to target each of these specific health disparities by partnering with grassroots organizations in several different countries, including the United States, to invest in solutions through providing funding, resources, and grant making. Each organization EMC partners with works to empower women, spotlight local voices and expand care for women. EMC also mobilizes and advocates from the streets to the Senate, and fights for all women, everywhere, to have a safe and healthy pregnancy and childbirth. They work with community leaders in several countries to ensure a positive experience for prenatal care, as well as helping women in their first years of motherhood. The work that EMC does is powerful and humbling, and actively allows more women to access quality care. In the past ten years alone, they have been responsible for investing $21 million for public education and community engagement, received over 100 grants, helped approve 2 US federal maternal health bills that are now laws, and impacted over one million women, providers, and community health workers. Whether expanding midwifery knowledge, nutrition services, access to health centers, legal aid, doula access, or nursing guides, EMC provides and funds a wide range of services. No donation is too small. Here are some examples of what your money provides: $12.57 is one-tenth of the cost for a motorcycle that a community can use to transport a woman to a health clinic or hospital in southwest Uganda.  $32 can provide essential antenatal and delivery supplies and equipment to care for one woman in Karatu, Tanzania. $50 can pay for five hours of legal counseling for victims of maternal health rights violations in India. $120 can provide one low-income woman in central Florida with four childbirth education sessions on breastfeeding, nutrition, self-care and newborn care. Some other fun ways to donate are… $6.43- that's one penny for every mile I'll run during training! $16- one dollar per week of training! $26.2- a dollar per mile on the big race day:) If you're interested in reading more about the great work EMC does, check out these links below! https://everymothercounts.org https://everymothercounts.org/films/ Thank you all for reading my many paragraphs

Today on the podcast, we are going to be talking race, and specifically how race is unfortunately a factor in maternal and fetal health outcomes. We are joined by Emy Collins, whose child Bash died at 15 days old in 2018 after an extraordinarily medically mismanaged pregnancy, delivery, and NICU stay. If Emy's is one of the only stories you've heard from a Black birthing person in the infant loss space, well, that makes sense, because the voices in this space are overwhelmingly white. You might also be tempted to dismiss her story as anecdotal, but the numbers don't lie. The national maternal mortality rate in the U.S. – death of a person during their pregnancy or within one year of delivery from causes related to the pregnancy – for white birthing people is 12.7 per 100,000 live births (0.0127%). Black birthing people die at a rate of 40.8 per 100,000 live births (0.0408%). This means a Black pregnant person is 3.2 times more likely to die. The national infant mortality rate in the U.S. – death of an infant that was born alive before their first birthday – for white babies is 4.6 per 1,000 live births (0.46%). Black babies die at a rate of 10.8 per 1,000 live births (1.08%). This means a Black infant is 2.3x more likely to die. There are myriad social and economic factors driving these abysmal health outcomes for Black people, but it is crucial to be aware that historic and ongoing racism and discrimination also drive these outcomes. Emy refers to this as a calamity, and we couldn't agree more. Every Mother Counts has a great list of additional resources here, and organizations like Black Mamas Matter are working on these issues, but we have a long way to go. Emy is @theaudacityofloss on Instagram. ::: Things we talk about in this episode: - Juneteenth - TFMR is Baby Loss, an Interview with Hadley's Mom Jill | As Long As I'm Living podcast - NEC: necrotizing enterocolitis - Sisters in Loss - Black Mamas Matter - Empty Arms - Emy's (FREE) POC support group through Empty Arms - Fridamom ::: As Long As I'm Living is a podcast about life, love, and laughter after infant loss.

In honor of Mothers around the world, this week we are releasing an Encore Presentation of our interview from 6 months ago with Every Mother Counts (EMC) founder Christy Turlington Burns.  Christy's work in maternal health began after experiencing a childbirth related complication in 2003—an experience that would later inspire her to direct and produce the documentary feature film, No Woman, No Cry, about the challenges women face throughout pregnancy and childbirth around the world. Under Christy's leadership, Every Mother Counts has invested nearly $21 million in programs in Africa, Central America and Caribbean, South Asia and the United States focused on making pregnancy and childbirth safe for every mother, everywhere. Before founding Every Mother Counts, Christy received international acclaim as a model representing the world's biggest fashion and beauty brands. She was the Founder of Nuala, a yoga lifestyle brand in partnership with Puma, co-founder of Sundari, a skincare based on the principals of Ayurveda, and author of the bestselling book, Living Yoga: Creating a Life Practice.Christy has been featured on thousands of magazine covers, one of Time's 100 Most Influential People, and among Glamour Magazine's 2013 Women of the Year. In March 2016, EMC was recognized as one of Fast Company magazine's Top 10 Most Innovative Not-For-Profit Companies.In this episode, we chat with Christy about her childhood growing up in Northern California, a middle child raised by an Airline Pilot father and flight attendant mother from El Salvador.  She talks openly about her experience on that fateful day that changed the course of her life forever. We chat about the problems in maternal healthcare worldwide and here in the US, where a woman is twice as likely to die in childbirth now as her mother was decades ago.  We discuss the disturbing disparities in mortality rates in childbirth between women of color and white women, and why that is, as well as the amazing work that Every Mother Counts is doing in order to bring about change around the world.To make a donation to EMC, or to learn more about their work, please visit:EveryMotherCounts.orgTo send a quick email in support of the Build Better Act (discussed in this episode), which includes policies that improve maternal health and equity, please go to https://p2a.co/eydcbjcTo learn more about pregnancy, and postpartum during the time of COVID-19, please visit justbirthspace.org To stay connected with Better Place Project and for updates and behind the scenes info, please visit our website at www.Betterplaceproject.org Follow us on social media:Instagram: @BetterPlaceProjTo follow Steve & Erin on Instagram:@SteveNorrisOfficial@ErinorrisFacebook: Facebook.com/BetterPlaceProjectPodcastEmail: BetterPlaceProjectPodcast@gmail.com

Did you know that more women die giving birth in America than in any other rich country? The number of women who die giving birth in America each year has nearly doubled in the last two decades, making the United States the only developed country with a consistently rising maternal mortality rate. How can we make giving birth in America safer? That's a question at the heart of the premiere episode of Spilling Chai on #ThePainGapSeason with our guests Christy Turlington Burns, (Founder, Every Mother Counts), Jennie Joseph (Founder and President, Common Sense Childbirth, Midwife, and Speaker), and Dr. Rebekah Gee (Obstetrician-Gynecologist and CEO of Healthcare Services for LSU Health). 

On the evolution of global maternal care, birth justice and how our simplest advocacy can change the world. Every Mother Counts (EMC) founder Christy Turlington Burns' work in maternal health began after experiencing a childbirth related complication in 2003—an experience that would later inspire her to direct and produce the documentary feature film, No Woman, No Cry, about the challenges women face throughout pregnancy and childbirth around the world. Under Christy's leadership, Every Mother Counts has invested nearly $21 million in programs in Africa, Latin America, South Asia and the United States focused on making pregnancy and childbirth safe for every mother, everywhere. Before founding Every Mother Counts, Christy received international acclaim as a model representing the world's biggest fashion and beauty brands. She was the Founder of Nuala, a yoga lifestyle brand in partnership with Puma, co-founder of Sundari, a skincare based on the principals of Ayurveda, and author of the bestselling book, Living Yoga: Creating a Life Practice. Christy has been featured on thousands of magazine covers, was one of Time's 100 Most Influential People, and Glamour Magazine's 2013 Woman of the Year. In March 2016, EMC was recognized as one of Fast Company magazine's Top 10 Most Innovative Not-For-Profit Companies. Christy graduated Cum Laude from NYU's Gallatin School of Independent Studies and studied Public Health at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health. She currently serves on the Yale Nursing School Dean's Leadership Council and the Smithsonian Institute's American Women's History Initiative (AWHI) Advisory Committee. Previously, she has served on the Harvard Medical School Global Health Council, the Harvard School of Public Health Board of Dean's Advisors and the advisory Board of New York University's Nursing School. Christy lives in New York City with her husband, filmmaker Edward Burns, and their two children.

Porchia, and the director of research for the AAMC Center for Health Justice Karey M. Sutton about maternal and infant health and why the United States is among the most dangerous developed countries in which to give birth.

For Mother's Day, we revisit Christy Turlington Burns, founder of the global nonprofit, Every Mother Counts. The former supermodel has dedicated the last 10 years to bringing down the shockingly high rate of maternal death—both in the US and around the world. Christy started Every Mother Counts after enduring dangerous complications following the birth of her own child.

This post is full of gifts mom wants for Mother’s Day, but doesn’t even know she does! Did you know 40% of moms fake reactions to gifts they don’t like? Makes me wonder about all those poems I wrote when I was younger. She never used, “Interesting.” That’s code for, not my taste, but whatever you like. LOL! It’s no joke, mom doesn’t even know what she wants. This is a lot closer to the truth than not! In an appointment yesterday the aesthetician said, “I don’t even know what to do when I don’t have my kids or my boyfriend is doing something else.” Truth. Women often crave time for themselves but don’t know what to do when they have it. Gifts Mom Wants So when you ask her, she may not have an answer. While massages and facials are always a win, or a gift card for sushi (thanks, Dustin), these are also some of my favorites that she often won’t get for herself. She won’t necessarily splurge on the good stuff. You can spoil her. My Favorite Matcha Piquetea Give her (or yourself) something that is not only good for your health, burning fat, and immunity but feels like a treat. Listen, every day all year I promote matcha for health. But not any matcha, Piquetea, matcha. Let me explain the why behind matcha first. Consumed before workouts it boosts fat burning after interval training by 29%. No workout? Still a good idea as it boosts your resting metabolism by 24%. It offers the “alert” support of caffeine without the jitters and cortisol-tipping negative effects no midlife woman needs (thanks to L-theonine). It’s powerful antioxidant support (hello, radiant skin – that she may be missing in midlife) Why I'm Picky Why Piquetea specifically? Well, like happens with anything that product developers determine has become popular and has staying power, there’s a lot of competition out there. Unfortunately, it’s not screened and tested, definitely not quadruple-screened. So, you potentially drink toxins, mold, and pesticides with that daily habit you think is healthy. If you’re like me and you have two mugs daily, that’s just a hormone disruptor waiting to happen. And I know, when you choose the best you pay more. I do. But you’re either deciding to knowingly have something toxic or to use a safe (and in my opinion better tasting and performing) product. Until Mother’s Day 2021 (or until supplies last) for every $100 you spend you’ll get 5% off, free shipping, and a special 53-page “Bouquet of Teas” recipe book and card ($25 value) + Pique will donate $5 to “Every Mother Counts” with my LINK. Don’t forget to use my code  at checkout! Of course, their other teas are great too. I sent my mom an assortment of herbal teas (she needs better hydration, and the woman does not need more caffeine)! She loved them. Yours will too. Even I, non-herbal tea drinker, enjoyed them. Gifts Mom Wants: RelaxUltima Seriously, ladies, this is for you. Get it, don’t wait. If you have real issues buying it for yourself, buy it for your husband for Father’s Day and use it yourself. Women tend to store their tension in their upper back and neck. There are so many causes of tension there: Purses Pregnancy weight shifts Carrying babies Carrying backpacks Keyboards Cold Breasts Poor posture Contemporary life Sure, not all of those are unique to women, but women also tend to have less strength in a certain muscle group called rhomboids. If they’re weak and not doing their job, the upper trapezius over fires when it shouldn’t. That sets off a cascade of things that can result in chronic tension, upper back pain or discomfort, and headaches. This tool is a-mazing. It’s light weight. It’s reasonably priced for a tens unit feature and it’s non-obtrusive: meaning for me at least I put it on while I’m at the keyboard in the morning and it helps me prevent the tension during the day. Using again later for another 15 minutes reduces built up tension from that same posture. Right now, for a very short time, I scored 15% off for you with my code: Flipping15 That’s only good through May 8, so you’ll be able to get the RelaxUltima any time (and it’s worth it) but the code is short term. https://www.flippingfifty.com/Relax USE: Flipping15  For 15% off your purchase May 1-8 You can watch this video to see how light and how easy to use! Their delivery is fast (I got mine in 2 days!) but to make sure she (or you) get it, order soon. What I’d do if it hasn’t arrived is take a screen shot and wrap it up! Moms carry the weight of the world on their shoulders. Whether you’re the black sheep or the favorite (or both… and that’s for my brother, you know who you are), give her the gift she’ll love! A 90-minute session with me  Included in the Super Hot Single Session: Thorough review of current status, exercise, nutrition Weekly Exercise Schedule & suggestions for progressing Suggested Exercise Nutrition changes Assessment to benchmark your progress Suggested next steps Session Notes and recording will be emailed to following the session.   (Sessions conducted via phone or zoom) If you’ve always wanted to work with Debra but the full VIP rate seems out of reach, this is your chance.

Christy Turlington Burns is known around the globe as a model. She's been featured on thousands of magazine covers and was named one of Time's 100 Most Influential People. But Christy is also a repeat founder—of yoga lifestyle brand Nuala, skincare line Sundari, and for the last decade, not-for-profit Every Mother Counts. After experiencing a childbirth related complication of her own, Christy founded EMC to make pregnancy and childbirth safe, respectful, and equitable and has invested $21M globally across 29 programs in 9 countries. Christy shares why she became a global health advocate when she became a mom, how she thinks about the use of storytelling in EMC's work, and why lobbying for legislative change is more accessible than it looks.

Since 2010, Every Mother Counts has invested $21 million in grants to 29 programs in nine countries. It also has supported more than a million people, including women, babies, health workers and community members.Now, with the pandemic making it even more difficult for many women to access quality, respectful and equitable maternity care, supporting mothers is as urgent as ever.This podcast is for general information and education only and is provided as a courtesy to the clients and friends of City National Bank.

I'm so excited to share this inspiring convo with badass mom and Maternal Mental Health Warrior, Kristen Garzone. After battling postpartum depression following the birth of her daughter Ellie, Kristen got involved in 2018 with the local chapter of Every Mother Counts and started Run To Believe and the KNT Foundation to honor her friend Kristin Nicole Thorsen, who lost her battle with PPD, to raise awareness and money for moms experiencing hardship through the prenatal and postpartum period. Kristen was a 4-sport athlete growing up and played D3 soccer and LAX despite never playing before college! Though she took great pride in being an athlete and an integral part of her teams, she had struggled with anxiety and depression since her teenage years. In her words: "I don't feel as if I was born with natural skill or talent; never the most gifted athlete and living with mental illness (that I hid and was ashamed of) made me feel as if I was an outsider—never capable of any good—but I've always prided myself on the simple fact that no one ever worked as hard as I did." Kristen was feeling empowered having competed her 1st 50-Miler with a friend in November at the JFK 50 Mile. Her running is a great outlet for stress and anxiety and she’s using it both personally and within her community to help others and raise money. I'm inspired by her story and hope you all enjoy this convo as much as we did. If you do, it would mean the world to me if you would rate the podcast or write a review and share feedback wherever you get your podcast groove on.

After suffering dangerous complications during her own pregnancy, the former supermodel was determined to create a nonprofit that would help bring down the staggeringly high rate of maternal mortality, both in the US and abroad. Christy Turlington Burns tells what she learned while building Every Mother Counts into an impactful global organization.

As COVID-19 poses a new, unexpected threat to maternal care, the mental and physical health of mothers in the U.S. is top of mind. Every Mother Counts founder Christy Turlington Burns joined The Post to discuss improving maternal health in the U.S.

Coronavirus poses a higher risk for America's most vulnerable and nonprofit leaders are trying to help - including pregnant women and mothers with newborns, millions of people living in poverty, and children who depend on free meals from school. Christy Turlington Burns of Every Mother Counts, Wes Moore of the Robin Hood Foundation and Lauren Bush Lauren of FEED discuss the biggest challenges they face and what their organizations are doing to support those in need.

You might have seen this week’s Dropcast guest Brandon “Jinx” Jenkins on the late-night talk show State of the Culture where he serves as a co-host, speaking to your favorite celebrities on Conference Room H, or hosting Mogul, a hip hop podcast. He’s also accomplished in writing, photographing, and DJing, hailing from a career as a multimedia creative and journalist during his time at Complex. For The Dropcast’s 100th episode, Jinx shares thoughtful reflections on the state of culture from streetwear to Black History Month, and of course, this week’s hottest drops. After a quick but heavy roasting of Philipp Plein’s show which was accused of monetizing on the passing of Kobe Bryant, the quick hits take us into more Milan Fashion Week news. During a top secret press conference earlier this week, Raf Simons was officially confirmed as Co-Creative Director of Prada after a lengthy period of public speculation (3:58). On the topic of things that people will really want, Denim Tears has teamed up with Procell once again on a special T-shirt for the annual honoring of his mother’s passing, and all proceeds go towards the Every Mother Counts charity (5:14). Equally worth the anticipation is the red velvet pecan cake made from a recipe by Tremaine Emory’s late mother. This time, the cake is extra special, coming out in a box designed by Tom Sachs. Another new collab that’s telling a story is the Palace x adidas golf collection, which marks the former’s move into performance wear (9:26). Jian notes how there’s a cross-section between guys who chase the hype and hard core golfers while Jinx comments on the saturation of fashion into all the corners of life and culture. This takes the cast into an animated discussion about the intersection of sports, fashion, and what it takes to introduce style to the court and field. AWAKE alumni John Lopez has stepped into the playing field with his first drop of Ineverheardofyou, an independent venture featuring provocative customized Jordan 1s and a text-heavy trucker hat (14:20). Jinx taps into the ingenuity behind such a collection and its value for an up-and-coming brand. As February wraps up, Jinx reflects on the most memorable Black History Month moments including Matthew A. Cherry’s Best Animated Short film Oscar win, Calmatic taking home a Best Music Video Grammy for Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road,” and Tyler, the Creator’s many notable moments (29:55). You know the drill: look out for the next QOTW which will be posted on Highsnobiety’s Instagram, and make sure to leave a voicemail on The Dropcast hotline at 833-HIGHSNOB (833-444-4766) for a chance to be featured in a future episode.

Satya is a philanthropist, yoga teacher and Reiki healer, who after 30 days of intensive yoga training had a dream of making jewelry that was both meaningful and gave back to children around the world. Fifteen years ago, she created Satya Jewelry  which creates handcrafted, beautiful and meaningful jewelry, which more importantly has a special meaning in mind — thus starting the movement of incorporating wellness info fashion, which is mainstream today. It is the go-to jewelry brand for celebrities such as Courtney Cox, along with wellness leaders such as Gabby Bernstein, Elena Brower and more). Giving back is an important aspect of Satya’s brand and she donates a percentage of all sales are donated to the Satya Foundation; my 501 (c) organization that has raised over $1 million for children's charities throughout the world. They have also done many collaborations for giving back, including Christy Turlington Burn’s Every Mother Counts, Next For Autism, and an upcoming line with Yoga Girl’s Rachel Brathen.  How did she get in Yoga? Satya has been practicing Yoga for over 30 years now. Her Zen Buddhist father introduced her to yoga, and she fell in love with it. How did she start her business? According to Satya, It's never too late to find your dream. She left a well-paying job after six months to pursue her purpose. She became a Reiki Master, and she had a rough time charging for her services. She decided to have a teacher's training in the Bahamas, and that's where she found the inspiration to start her business. Did you ever feel like a failure for starting your business at 40? Absolutely! She have had so many careers, but the most important thing is she finally she found something she loves. What steps did you take into entrepreneurship? Satya did not have a business plan. All she had was passion. How important is it to have pure intentions?  150%. Satya teaches beautiful mala workshops. They involve setting your plans and how to weave and create a beautiful spiritual necklace of your own with infusing an intention of yours and always bring into the meditation. Do you think owning and starting this business has taught you about yourself? Satya has learned a lot about herself through her business, and it has helped her pinpoint areas that need a change in her life. What does your foundation do? The foundation is involved working with non-profit organizations. The first projects involved teaching kids yoga and more. This year she has worked on a few projects which include an elephant sanctuary and a foundation that helps people with autism. She has worked with Christy Turlington. She has a foundation that allows mothers and children's all-around prenatal care and birthing all around the globe. Being a trained social worker, did Satya ever think this is what social work looks like? No! We are accustomed to putting everything in a small box. Satya did not have an idea that she would turn out to be this great. From a strategic perspective in your business, what do you think has worked best? Being open and flexible, being able to work the challenges. As a social worker, you're trained to navigate problems.  Did you know you were entrepreneurial? It runs in my genes. My parents and siblings are entrepreneurs, and so were my grandparents. What's your favorite jewelry? My favorite is, of course, the mala. They're prayer beads. I love them because they when they're weighted of course we use genuine stones. So the weight of them keeps me grounded throughout the day. What's a truth that you want to spread right now? The truth of loving-kindness. What's the best advice you have ever received? Do not go out and get involved again with another person. Fall back in love with God and yourself first. How can you tell that you are loving yourself? I'm a little a lot more compassionate towards who I am. How can we get in touch with you? Website Instagram life coach nyc

What’s Good, Wise and Wonderful about Samantha Stollenwerck Runkel? Just about everything. Born and raised in Southern California, now residing in Nuremburg, Germany, she’s a stunning beauty with a vibrant and International intellect. Funny, self deprecating and wildly talented. She’s your cool friend that you tell stories about. The one who somehow fits more into one day than there seem to be hours, and makes you feel like you should expand beyond your own views and walls. She’s a recording artist and song writer, and has toured extensively with bands like Dave Matthews and Ziggy Marley. She’s played Bonnarroo and Austin City Limits. She’s traveled the world with her husband Michael Runkel, who is a travel photographer and has been to all 193 U.N. Nations and photographed almost every UNESCO World Heritage Site. An accomplishment given to only a handful of people in history. Their love story is something out of a novel. They met on an Expedition ship in the middle of Antarctica, and then decided to keep traveling together after that. She tells us all about it on the latest Good, Wise and Wonderful podcast which can be found here. Not only did they travel the world together, they eventually traveled the world with their 8 month old daughter Sia to countries like Namibia, Japan, New Zealand and the South Pacific. She’s involved philanthropically with Surfrider, Patagonia, Every Mother Counts, and Musicians Without Borders which brings music into conflict zones to help heal the effects of war. I met her on an extraordinary volunteer adventure in Nicaragua with the organization called SYRV, which was a pivot point in both of our lives. It was such a BIG emotional experience curated by Monique Evans. We built a community center in Jiquillio so the women would have a place to allow their trades to make them income, and provided water filters to schools and homes. A shared experience that would leave us life long friends. Her blog, is some of my favorite reading. She tells the stories of her travels across the world from the Vanuatu land divers, to the maternal wisdom of he Himba women. You can read all about her adventures, hear her music, and stay on top of her latest family travels at www.samanthamusic.com

Have you seen someone with a disability in public and weren’t sure how to support your children with respectful, inclusive dialogue?  We don’t want to be offensive, but we also want to help our children understand the world. Well, Whitney Kallenbach and I dove into ways to address this topic with your kiddos as well as when it varies, i.e. a child versus an adult.  We had an honest conversation about questions we were both bringing to the table, along with personal experiences. Whitney works with veterans with disabilities and has a daughter who wore leg braces as a corrective device. Her experiences have changed how she intends to address this with her children.  I’m so excited for you to listen in on our raw conversation about how to be inclusive, respectful, and use person first language.

Welcome to episode 25 of the Chasing Bravery Podcast! This podcast is meant to be a platform for women to share their true narratives and discuss topics that we simply don't converse about enough. Today that topic is post partum depression, and my guest is Kristen Garzone. Kristen is a woman with many roles (sound like any of you ladies out there?) Kristen is a career woman, wife, mother, runner, friend, and so much more. Kristen is also a woman with a history of mental illness and post partum depression (ppd). Anyone flinch when they heard that- the mental illness, ppd thing? Maybe you didn't flinch, but you did get a funny feeling somewhere in your body. Maybe you felt funny because it was off putting to hear the words mental illness and post partum depression in connection with a woman who is smart, beautiful, capable, and accomplished. Regardless of what you feel, this is conversation that needs to be had. 1 in 5 women will experience a full blown maternal mental health illness, and this illness does not discriminate. There is no one person who is guaranteed to suffer- and no one person that isn't. I encourage you to listen, as this is a conversation that will ultimately leave you feeling inspired, informed, empowered, and maybe less alone.  Kristen is currently honoring and remembering her friend Kristin who lost her battle with post partum depression in June of 2017 through a virtual 5k or 10k on mothers day weekend. All of the proceeds from this race will go towards Every Mother Counts. I am most certainly going to be taking part in this and I encourage you all to as well. The link to register can be found in the show notes of this episode. Stay tuned- this episode will be followed up with two more on the topic of Maternal Mental Health. I will release episode 26 this weekend with Dr. Berlin who is an expert in the area of MMH. Episode 27 will feature Peggy Tanous, who some of you may remember from season 6 of the Real Housewives of Orange County. Peggy sheds light on the fact that even a woman whose life seems ideal can still be gripped by this powerful illness, and the stigma needs to stop. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/chasing-bravery/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/chasing-bravery/support

 Team, yesterday, I a took a walk on the NYC Highline with my friend and CEO of Lifeway Foods, Julie Smolyansky. I met Julie five years ago at SXSW.  She was (and still is) a major supporter of our friends at Every Mother Counts.  And, as she was training with Charity Miles to run the Boston Marathon, she decided to become our first major sponsor! Since then, I have had the honor of becoming friends with Julie personally.  She is someone that I truly admire. Julie is a great mom, an accomplished marathoner, and one of very few women CEOs of a publicly traded company.  She is leading a mission-driven business that is leading the way for other mission-driven businesses (like Charity Miles).  She leads by example, as someone who doesn't have to do the hard thing, but chooses to do it anyway– because it's the right thing to do. Julie is also a new author of the Kefir Cookbook, which is not just a Kefir recipe book, but also a story about family, entrepreneurialism, and leading a purposeful life. I'm ever grateful to Julie– not only for her support of Charity Miles, but for her friendship and inspiring me personally. #EveryMileMatters Subscribe on iTunes / Subscribe on Stitcher / Subscribe on Google Play   The post Julie Smolyansky, CEO of Lifeway Foods: Trust Your Gut! appeared first on Charity Miles.

This episode is Part I of our conversation with Kristen and be sure to listen to episode 059 for Part II.   This episode is hosted by Matt Sorenson and is sponsored by goodr.

The 2016 Chicago Marathon was Heather's third marathon and John's first. It was marked by perfect weather, an amazing group of people from Every Mother Counts, and a great weekend overall. There was also pain, excitement, regret, no regret, a lost FitBit and profanity at mile 15. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

How can we help a mother who has experienced pregnancy loss? What should we say? What should we not say? Our two special guests devote their lives to the wellness of mothers and have suffered pregnancy loss themselves: clinical psychologist Dr. Jessica Zucker and training midwife Georgina Blanchard. Our first guest Dr. Jessica Zucker specializes in women's reproductive + maternal mental health and serves on the Medical Advisory Council of "Every Mother Counts". She has contributed to PBS’s "This Emotional Life", and started the #IHadAMiscarriage hashtag campaign that went viral. Our second guest Georgina Blanchard is in her final year of Midwifery studies at the Midwifery Education Program at Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada. After our conversations, we clear the stage to share Georgina’s exquisite essay “Still Life” published in the Canadian journal “The Walrus", read by her sister, actress Rachel Blanchard with music by Georgina's husband John Showman. October is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. We hope this episode helps in some small way. Please share with your mom community. x Ellie Please subscribe on iTunes.com/AtomicMoms!

Sarah and co-host Molly Williams explore the topic of finding money while running with three mother runners, including two who donate their #foundchange (and often paper money!) to charities. Interestingly, all three guests were what one of them describes as “late-onset runners.” First up is Krista Rider, a mom of one who donates her moola to Every Mother Counts, tells the tale of recently finding $15 in one fell swoop. Then Samantha Hopkins, a mom of two and Sarah and Molly’s money-finding idol, shares her theories about why it seems the streets she runs in San Antonio seem strewn with dropped money (and the occasional “pimp ring”—find out how much that find netted her). Like Krista, Samantha donates her annual hauls to a worthy cause. Samantha shares money-finding tips, which she says explain why her route-maps on Strava often look so unusual. Last but not least, Molly and Sarah share laughs and anecdotes with Jennifer “JMart” Martin, an ultrarunning momma of two. Despite logging many miles, JMart isn’t... Learn more about your ad choices.

I am so excited to share this episode with you all!  When I heard Jeanne Faulkner speak on One Bad Mother a few months ago, I knew right away that I wanted to have her on the show.  Jeanne is a writer, registered nurse and strong maternal health care improvement advocate.  She works with the Every Mother Counts non-profit which is dedicated to making pregnancy and childbirth safe for all mothers around the world.  She is also the author of the book Common Sense Pregnancy: Navigating a Healthy Birth for Mother and Baby which came out earlier this year.  In this episode we talk about how Jeanne came to change paths from a career as a labor and delivery nurse to that of a writer. We also talk about how her "Ask the Labor Nurse" column for Fit Pregnancy led to her writing her Common Sense Pregnancy book.   We talk about her very differing birth and postpartum stories with each of her children.  She's given birth with all kinds of practitioners and both in and out of hospitals.  She talks about pregnancy, birth and postpartum during nursing school, and as she took the nursing boards, and even during cancer treatments after her 4th child.  I loved being able to share Jeanne's knowledge and expertise with you all. We talked about the state of maternal healthcare today and about how she hopes we are going into seeing a shift in the way things happen, and how we as women and moms, as well as practitioners can help make this happen.   I really think it's good for us to hear moms who have been there already, perhaps have grown kids,  and are able to tell us that there is a light at the end of the tunnel getting through these hard early years of raising kids.  Thank you so much again, Jeanne for coming on and sharing with us! You can find Jeanne's book here. You can find her website here.  Here is more about the  Every Mother Counts nonprofit.

We start by talking about the Apple Watch and new MacBooks because we're dads who are also nerds. Good news Minecraft fans! Mojang will soon be shipping its own Java with Minecraft so you don't need Oracle's tarted up version. If you want your kids to learn programming and other stuff through Minecraft, check out MinecraftEDU which provides support services from schools to use Minecraft and LearnToMod which is an introduction to programming mods for kids. Lex then explains Kidz Bop which is either a great way to introduce kids to music they otherwise shouldn't listen to or a damn nightmare, depending on your point of view. Richard Cheese's covers are better but not kid-friendly. The Jonathan Coulton cover of Baby Got Back is not for kids, either. Can't Touch This is probably OK. To continue the stream of consciousness of this episode, we mention the next season of Community and Daredevil on Netflix and a bunch of other stuff. But check out this Daredevil trailer. Looks good. Hank is reading The Martian even though it has a lot of swear words in it and will probably go see the movie. Somehow we get back to the Apple Watch but this time talk about Every Mother Counts and Jon's connection to it and Christy Turlington Burns who has an Apple Watch and you don't.

Sarah and Dimity chat with supermodel Christy Turlington Burns, who, at 5’ 10”, is the pipsqueak of the trio.

Clancy McCarty began her career in maternal health by co-producing maternal health advocate Christy Turlington’s debut documentary film, (http://cnn.com/mothers) about why the U.S. is the worst developed country to give birth in. Now she’s on a new adventure as a student nurse-midwife, learning new skills to continue her mission of addressing the systematic issues affecting women around the world, such as basic human rights for every person and reproductive justice. Clancy is an artist, an inspiration, and a beam of light who is here to make changes and make the world better, and I am so honored to share that light with all of you today!
