When most people think about changing diapers in the months after giving birth, they're probably thinking about their newborn. But a surprising number of women find themselves thinking about adult diapers, too. That's because most women experience incontinence to one degree or another following delivery. A new survey by Aeroflow Urology found that nearly 90% of new mothers experience incontinence - some of them, significantly. Today's guest is Aleece Fosnight, a board-certified physician assistant specializing in incontinence conditions and a medical advisor for Aeroflow Urology, and she shares insights from the survey along with valuable advice for those who are pregnant or thinking about becoming pregnant. To visit Aeroflow and learn more about the Diaper Divide, click here.To visit the National Diaper Bank Network, click here.To learn more about the National Association for Continence, click here, and be sure to follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest.Music:Rainbows Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Incontinence products are a necessity, but they can cost hundreds of dollars per month.

On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones recaps Conference Championship Sunday where we saw the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs advance to Super Bowl LIX. Bo starts the show giving praise to Patrick Mahomes for reaching yet another Super Bowl and continuing his comparison to Michael Jordan. (0:35) Bo continues with the Chiefs talk asking why fans hate them similarly to how everyone hated the New England Patriots during their dynasty. (11:01) Then, he moves onto the Buffalo Bills and if their Super Bowl window has closed after their 4th playoff loss to the Chiefs in the Josh Allen era. (20:33) Bo rounds out the Conference Championship conversation by saying how dominant the Philadelphia Eagles looked and why Jalen Hurts isn't a negative but he's also limited in the pass game. (28:55) And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving cattle gallstones, new ownership of TikTok and the National Diaper Bank Network. Then Bomani listens to some voicemails about the dumbest things you've seen happen at work.

Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Heidi Hayne, Program Manager with Nashville Diaper Connection, who highlights the nonprofit organization's mission and efforts to provide diapers to babies in need and close the diaper gap in Middle Tennessee. Diaper need is the struggle to provide a baby with clean, dry diapers. It is a public health issue impacting 1 in 2 local families and all communities in Middle Tennessee.During the interview, Heidi discusses how Nashville Diaper Connection is a recognized member of the National Diaper Bank Network, which allows them to get discounted diapers from manufacturers and triple their purchasing ability and impact. She talks about their process of purchasing diapers and accepting donations, having the volunteers sort and package the diapers, then how they distribute the diapers through a network of area nonprofit agencies and organizations. She also covers their programs, including Diapers for Diplomas and Clinic Connections, along with how the community can get involved and support their efforts.Visit www.nashvillediaperconnection.org to learn more and get involved.https://www.facebook.com/NashDiaperBankhttps://twitter.com/NashDiaperBank

Did you know that one out of two people with incontinence will isolate themselves at home because they don't have enough absorbent products? That startling and unfortunate situation - that too many adults simply can't afford the basic necessities to care for themselves - is called The Diaper Divide. This is something we can all do something about. Today's guest is Aleece Fosnight, a board-certified physician assistant specializing in incontinence conditions and a medical advisor for Aeroflow Urology, and she shares with us details about the Diaper Divide and insight on what we can do individually and collectively to make a difference for millions.  To visit Aeroflow and learn more about the Diaper Divide, click here.

Thrilled to have the former Director of Policy and Government Relations from the National Diaper Bank Network on our podcast today. The National Diaper Bank Network brings diaper banks together across the country through an annual conference and resources, like Phillip Vander Klay. Phillip even went to Jefferson City with HappyBottoms earlier this year to advocate for removing the luxury diaper tax on diapers. He knows his government, and thank goodness for that! Please enjoy, Phillip! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/happybottoms/support

(That Senator may have made damn sure they'll be NO Child Tax Credits for you coming up, Kiddos!) The authors, Joanne Samuel Goldblum, (@jgoldblum), founder of the National Diaper Bank Network, and journalist Colleen Shaddox argue that the systems that should protect our citizens are broken and that poverty results from flawed policies—compounded by racism, sexism, and other ills—rather than people's “bad choices.” Federal programs for the poor often fall far short of their aims: The U.S. has only 36 affordable housing units available for every 100 extremely low-income families; roughly 1 in 3 households on Navajo reservations lack plumbing; and inadequate counsel by public defenders can lead to harsher penalties for crimes or time in “debtors' prisons” for those unable to pay fines or court fees. An overarching problem is that the U.S. determines eligibility for government benefits with an outdated and “irrationally low” federal poverty level of $21,720 for a family of three, which doesn't take into account necessities such as child care when women work outside the home. The authors credibly assert that it makes more sense to define poverty as an inability to afford basic needs in seven areas—“water, food, housing, energy, transportation, hygiene, and health”—each of which gets a chapter that draws on academic or other studies and interviews with people like a Baltimore resident who had to flush his toilet with bottled water after the city shut it off due to an unpaid bill. This plainspoken primer in the spirit of recent books like Anne Kim's Abandoned and Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn's Tightrope, Goldblum and Shaddox interweave macro analyses with examples of micro interventions that might work in any community. A Head Start teacher in Lytle, Texas, says her program saw benefits just from giving toothbrushes (and a chance to use them at a classroom sink) to children who had none at home: “They come here, and they scrub like there's no tomorrow.”

Did you know you can't purchase diapers with food stamps? Diapers are classified with cigarettes, alcohol, and pet food as disallowed purchases. Thank goodness for the St. Louis Area Diaper Bank. Muriel Smith is the Executive Director at the St. Louis Area Diaper Bank and she joined Jill Devine this week on the podcast. The St. Louis Area Diaper Bank provides diaper access to the region's low-income families, as well as raises community awareness about the causes and consequences of diaper need.  The nonprofit is a member of the National Diaper Bank Network, a nationwide nonprofit dedicated to eliminating diaper need and “period poverty” in America. The St. Louis Alliance for Period Supplies (STL APS) – a program created in 2019 by the St. Louis Area Diaper Bank – ensures access to menstrual hygiene products, which allows full participation in daily life with dignity.  To date more than 5.1 million diapers have been distributed in St. Louis including nearly 900,000 diapers during the height of the pandemic. Diapers cost approximately $1,000 per year to keep just one child in diapers, and a donation of $50 to the Diaper Bank provides a child with one month's worth of diapers. Here are some other facts you should be aware of: *The nonprofit's diapers are purchased directly with donated funds, as well as obtained via local diaper drives and in-kind donations.  *One in three families across the country experiences diaper need, and one in five St. Louis families with children under five lives at or below the poverty line.  Since it costs more than $1,000 – approximately $100 per month – to diaper a child for a year, parents who earn minimum wage will spend up to 15% of their take home income on diapers. *Diaper need impacts the physical, mental, and economic well-being of children and families.  *Infants typically need up to 12 diapers per day, and most childcare centers ask parents to provide diapers.  Many parents can't work or go to school based upon this requirement. *Cloth diapers may seem like a viable option, but many families either do not have access to laundry facilities at their home or own a vehicle to utilize a laundromat. *In addition to parents limiting their child's liquid intake, 64% of Diaper Bank moms report leaving their child in soiled diapers longer than they should to make their supply last. *Last year two-thirds of low-income women in St. Louis cannot afford menstrual hygiene products, with 46% of low-income women having to choose between food and period products. msmith@stldiaperbank.org (314) 624-0888 Two Kids and A Career Website: https://www.jilldevine.com/ Two Kids and A Career Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jilldevine/?hl=en Two Kids and A Career Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JillDevineMedia/ Thank you to our sponsor: Evoke Creative

Joanne Samuel Goldblum and Colleen Shaddox, the authors of Broke in America (Ben Bella Books, 2021), join Casey for a discussion on their work, the state of poverty in America and the fact that poverty is a policy choice. We get into such topics as privatization of basic human needs, school zoning and whether the Biden administration is doing anything notable to combat poverty on a national scale. Both authors share how they came to this work as well as the faith traditions (Jewish and Catholic) that brought them to care for the poor in a material way. We also discuss what it truly means to be on the side of the poor and marginalized (hint: it has much more to do with material restructuring than it does performative gesticulations or interpersonal anti-racist measures) and the fact that Barbara Lee is the real deal (for just one proof of this fact, watch this video right after 9/11, when she stands alone in the House of Representatives - not even Bernie got this one right - and defends her sole vote against Bush's AUMF)!

In 2018, she founded the Alliance for Period Supplies, which provides free hygiene products to the one in four people for whom menstruation means difficulty attending school and work. Joanne has spent her career working with and advocating for families in poverty. She has written op-eds for The Washington Post, US News & World Report, and HuffPost. She has been an ABC Person of the Week and the subject of profiles by CNN, People, and many other outlets. Joanne is an inspiring and in-demand speaker. In 2007 she was chosen as one of 10 Robert Wood Johnson Community Health Leaders on the basis of her work to found the New Haven Diaper Bank. Colleen Shaddox is a print and radio journalist and activist. Her publication credits include The New York Times, The Washington Post, National Public Radio, America, and many more. She left daily newspapers when an editor reprimanded her for “writing too many stories about poor people” and went to work in a soup kitchen. She has had one foot in journalism and one in non-profits ever since. In states throughout the country, Colleen has worked on winning campaigns to get kids out of adult prisons, to end juvenile life without parole and to limit shackling in juvenile courts. She is a frequently anthologized fiction writer. Her award-winning play, The Shakespeares, and other dramatic works have been performed around the country. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/publictheologians/support

Nearly 40 million people in the U.S. live below the official poverty line—which in 2021 is just $26,000 for a family of four. But while poverty is all too often portrayed as a personal failure, it’s actually the result of bad public policy choices. Public policy has purposefully erected barriers that deny access to basic needs, creating a society where people can easily become trapped in poverty—not because we as a nation lack the resources to lift them out, but because we are actively choosing not to. This is the premise of a new book called Broke in America: Seeing, Understanding, and Ending U.S. Poverty, which looks at many of the policy choices conspiring to keep people poor and offers a roadmap of solutions that would eradicate poverty in the U.S. Rebecca sat down with the authors, Joanne Goldblum and Colleen Shaddox, for this week's pod.

About 1 in 10 people — nationally and in Vermont — live below the poverty line. Low-income people are everywhere. There's a pernicious myth that poverty is a personal failure or a character flaw. The myth goes that if people were just willing to work harder, they could pull themselves up. The reality is that the vast majority of people in poverty are working. And poverty defies stereotypes. “The face of poverty in America is a white child,” says Joanne Goldblum, CEO and founder of the National Diaper Bank Network. Goldblum is co-author, with journalist Colleen Shaddox, of the new book, Broke in America: Seeing, Understanding, and Ending U.S. Poverty. She notes that nearly half of American children are poor or low-income. The authors argue that poverty is not a personal failing, but the result of bad policy — and it can be solved. They provide a roadmap for the Biden administration to eradicate poverty for millions of Americans through policy changes.

This interview is a special KGNU pre-publication interview (the book comes out in February 2021 from The authors, Joanne Samuel Goldblum, (@jgoldblum), founder of the National Diaper Bank Network, and journalist Colleen Shaddox who argue that the systems that should protect our citizens are broken and that poverty results from flawed policies—compounded by racism, sexism, and other ills—rather than people’s “bad choices.” Federal programs for the poor often fall far short of their aims: The U.S. has only 36 affordable housing units available for every 100 extremely low-income families; roughly 1 in 3 households on Navajo reservations lack plumbing; and inadequate counsel by public defenders can lead to harsher penalties for crimes or time in “debtors’ prisons” for those unable to pay fines or court fees. An overarching problem is that the U.S. determines eligibility for government benefits with an outdated and “irrationally low” federal poverty level of $21,720 for a family of three, which doesn’t take into account necessities such as child care when women work outside the home. The authors credibly assert that it makes more sense to define poverty as an inability to afford basic needs in seven areas—“water, food, housing, energy, transportation, hygiene, and health”—each of which gets a chapter that draws on academic or other studies and interviews with people like a Baltimore resident who had to flush his toilet with bottled water after the city shut it off due to an unpaid bill. This plainspoken primer in the spirit of recent books like Anne Kim’s Abandoned and Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn’s Tightrope, Goldblum and Shaddox interweave macro analyses with examples of micro interventions that might work in any community. A Head Start teacher in Lytle, Texas, says her program saw benefits just from giving toothbrushes (and a chance to use them at a classroom sink) to children who had none at home: “They come here, and they scrub like there’s no tomorrow.”

We welcome Phillip Vander Klay of the National Diaper Bank Network who talks about the role nonprofits can play in making sure poverty doesn’t rob people of the right to vote. We talk about nonpartisan actions nonprofits can take and how local elections matter too, as illustrated by a struggle in Colleen’s hometown. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/brokeinamerica/support

One in five American children is growing up in poverty. That determines what they eat, where or if they exercise and even whether or not a parent can call 911 in an emergency. Yet most health care providers do not receive in-depth education about how poverty affects children's health. Joanne Goldblum founder and CEO of the New Haven-based National Diaper Bank Network is out to change that.

Biz and Theresa try to answer the big questions, like: what happens when you die? “Go ask you father” apparently does not cut it. Theresa has a breakthrough and Biz’s daughter is finally excited to do things without Biz…weep, sob, I mean, yay! Plus, we speak with Joanne Goldblum, Founder and Executive Director of the National Diaper Bank Network, a nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring that every child in the United States has an adequate supply of diapers to remain clean, dry and healthy. She helps us understand the issues and how to help.

Dr. Megan Smith, assistant professor of psychiatry in the Child Study Center, Public Health lecturer and director of the MOMs Partnership and Joanne Goldblum, executive director of the National Diaper Bank Network, talk about a new study in the journal Pediatrics and its implications
