Podcast appearances and mentions of kate turza

Motherhood can be lonely. That’s exactly why today’s guest Kate Turza and her co-host Liz Sanicola set out to start a podcast for moms. The two wanted to help create a sense of community in motherhood.  In this episode, she comes on to chat about her experience of being a podcast host and what inspired her to start a podcast about motherhood. We dive into her career as a postpartum doula and how as moms, we don’t know what we’re doing from time to time and how that’s completely okay.  She shares a few of the common themes she's seen emerge on her own podcast and what she hopes to build within her community as she and Liz continue to grow their podcast.  WHAT’S IN THIS EPISODE: What inspired her and Liz to start the podcast Common themes about motherhood today that she’s noticed from her podcast including how motherhood has changed from previous generations of moms What she hopes people will gain from her show A few of her favorite and most memorable episodes (and why they stood out to her) What she hopes listeners will gain from her podcast including a sense of community

In today's podcast I had the pleasure of engaging in a candid conversation around motherhood with Kate. We deconstructed some of the following topics of conversation: Breaking down the walls between moms Point of view on why the walls may have formed How to stop of feeling isolated and inadequate as a mother Why mothers are feeling so isolated How to have real conversations with moms in the 'real' world, and why it is beneficial Social media and motherhood Motherhood and embracing the new identity Kate's Bio: Kate is a mom of 3 beautiful, energetic, and loving kiddos, postpartum doula, President of East End Birth Network, Inc. (a recognized 501c3), and co-host of the Mom Deconstructed Podcast. After experiencing a trying postpartum period after her third child was born, she began her training to become a postpartum doula. Since then, she’s been providing support for new families as they transition into early parenthood. She’s passionate about normalizing the postpartum period, creating community to support new families, and pulling back the curtain of what “real” motherhood looks like.

Kate Turza is a mom of 3, co-host of the Mom Deconstructed Podcast, and postpartum Doula. She’s passionate about normalizing the emotions that new (and seasoned) moms feel and creating a community in motherhood. It's so important to share personal stories with other Moms, so you know you're not alone. In this episode, you’ll hear about: Who's Kate Turza? Mom Deconstructed Podcast Hiring a Postpartum Doula (AKA Mothering the Mother) Increasing your confidence as a Mom How Kate became a Postpartum Doula Importance of community Mommy and Me Groups Breastfeeding Support Groups Postpartum Support International Pittsburgh Postpartum Center for Women Why it's important to share your story Mother's intuition or trial and error? If you're not getting postpartum support you need, do your research. The Pure Nurture Podcast is a great resource to find Mom support systems. It does feel awkward to be vulnerable about your first-time-Mom-experience, at first. There's this myth that we're supposed to "just know everything" about being a good Mom, but you're not really sure about this or that. Guess what? No one knows what they're doing. Having a sounding board to get things off your chest is so liberating!

What exactly is a postpartum doula? On this episode, we spoke with Kate Turza, a postpartum doula, about what it is and how families can maximize the ways they can conserve energy, take care of themselves and their babies, and try to enjoy those early days and weeks after the arrival of a new baby. The post What Is A Postpartum Doula? appeared first on Learn With Less.

A lack of support during her postpartum transition inspired today’s guest, Kate Turza, to become a certified postpartum doula. Feelings of frustration and loneliness crept over her after the birth of her third child. Her searches for support in her rural Long Island community came up empty. She decided to offer women the support she wished she’d had by becoming a doula and by joining the board of a non-profit that facilitates a monthly birth circle. During our conversation, Kate shares the problems she encountered during breastfeeding due to a retained placenta and lack of hormones, how doula training brought balance back into her life, and the struggles mothers and partners face finding community and support today’s individualized culture. We talk about why postpartum support is absolutely negotiable, why you might want a postpartum Doula, and how to get the support you need even if there aren’t a lot of resources in your community. In This Episode: What a postpartum doula does What a postpartum doula does not do How mothers put pressure on themselves by setting unrealistic goals How she dealt with increased anxiety during her postpartum transition The struggles of breastfeeding and sleep deprivation for many new mothers How a retained placenta affects a new mothers ability to nurse How societal changes are affecting the fourth trimester Considering a partner’s emotional needs during the birth cycle Creating a support community for mothers and partners Where to find support in the U.S. and internationally How to build your maternity wardrobe with style and ease Show Notes: La Leche League — U.S. Branch DONA — International Doula Training CAPPA — International Doula Certification Trust Your Body Again — Motherbirth Course Stitch Fix — Create a Style Profile and Have Clothes Delivered Right to Your Front Door

Episode Summary: I had such a great conversation with our guest, Kate Turza today.  Kate and I just had a very real, very honest discussion about why it’s SO damn hard to ask for help these days, even when we feel like we’re drowning.  As working parents we have a ton on our plate, and it can feel like we’re expected to do everything ourselves and do it all well.  But that’s not how we’re meant to operate.  We’re SUPPOSED to have a tribe.  We’re supposed to rely on a village to get through it all.  And I’ll let you in on a little secret… if you try to do it all alone, you’re GOING to burnout.  We need help from time to time and the better you get at asking for that support, the more manageable (and enjoyable!) your life will be.  But these days we’re not as connected to our support systems the way we were in generations past. So we chat about how she as a postpartum doula helps new moms and dads manage those early days of parenthood in a healthy way that integrates who they are with who they are becoming.  We talk a lot about those early days of parenthood but the principles we discuss will apply to parents at all stages of parenting. Kate Turza is a mom of 3 beautiful, energetic, and loving kiddos and CAPPA certified postpartum doula. After experiencing a trying postpartum period after her third child was born, she began her training to become a postpartum doula. She’s passionate about normalizing the postpartum and early motherhood period. In addition to doing in-home services in her area, she provides support online. She believes that no matter your path to parenthood, you should have a place to find support.  Show Notes:  http://workingparentresource.com/42 Resources & Links Mentioned in this Episode: Kate Turza Website Kate Turza Facebook Kate Turza Instagram Working Parent Resource Coffee Chat Working Parent Resource Website About the Working Parent Resource: The Working Parent Resource helps burned out professional moms and dads simplify their lives, streamline their time, and live more deliberately so they can eliminate the stress and chaos.
