After the birth of her first child, Courtney Boylan quickly discovered that postpartum essentials, such as nipple shields and nursing pads, were typically not made with aesthetics in mind.

NOUVEAU : programme audio (ultra accessible) pour anticiper les étapes clés pour concilier grossesse & entrepreneuriat sans sacrifier ni l'un, ni l'autre !✨Bienvenue sur Grossesses d'Entrepreneuses✨Cet été, je vous propose de découvrir ou redécouvrir mes meilleurs conseils pour concilier entrepreneuriat et maternité. Comment s'octroyer un vrai congé maternité, quelles aides existe-t-il, est-ce une bonne idée de créer une offre passive ou encore est-on vraiment obligé de s'arrêter : chaque mercredi de l'été 2025, je vous propose une capsule conseil - où vous pourrez aussi parfois découvrir des extraits de mes interviews les plus inspirantes. Alors bon été … et surtout bonne écoute :)Dans cet épisode, j'inaugure un nouveau format : la capsule-conseil. L'idée est de vous proposer - par intermittence avec nos habituels interviews - des épisodes où je vous partage mon expertise. Pour cette première “capsule conseil” - j'ai choisi la thématique du congé maternité. C'est souvent une des premières questions qui nous préoccupent en tant qu'entrepreneuse et qu'on envisage une grossesse ou qu'on découvre être enceinte.Je vais décortiquer les cinq idées reçues que je vois le plus fréquemment dans les interviews que je fais, les échanges que j'ai avec ma communauté sur Instagram ou LinkedIn - ou encore les clientes que j'accompagne - car ces idées reçues peuvent vous coûter cher.Mon ambition, c'est que d'ici à la fin de cet épisode vous puissiez être informé sur ses erreurs à éviter et ainsi faire des choix plus éclairés !Les ressources mentionnées dans l'épisode : La copie d'écran montrant la simulation qui compare le montant des indemnités de congé maternité "Indépendante vs. salariée"Découvrez en détail les infos au sujet de la : Masterclasse juridiqueCode promo uuuuuniquement pour les auditrice du podcast ;) (valable pour les 10 premières inscrites uniquement) : CAPSULE40Interview de l'avocate Estelle By, spécialiste des statuts juridiquesLa prévoyance (et mutuelle) que je recommande : Wemind Wemind est une néo-assurance spécialisée dans la protection des indépendants. Attention à la periode de carrence pour être couverte pour la grossesse (s'incrire 1 an à l'avance)Les épisodes mentionnés à (ré)écouter : #31 avec Insaff El Hassini#28 avec Marion Renoux#27 avec Marine Alari #25 avec Manon Verbeke#21 avec Laetitia Roy#18 avec Julie Bacconnier#15 avec Alexandra Madoï#14 avec Emma Haby#7 avec Laure Dodier#6 avec Iris Panissier #4 avec Sandra Le CoqPourquoi “Grossesses d'Entrepreneuses” ?Grossesses d'Entrepreneuses est le premier podcast consacré aux stratégies entrepreneuriales lorsqu'on devient mère. Dans ce podcast, vous allez découvrir à chaque épisode l'histoire d'une entrepreneuse qui nous partage comment sa ou ses grossesses ont impacté son entreprise. Mon intention en faisant circuler ces retours d'expériences, tous aussi différents qu'inspirants, est de vous permettre de faire des choix éclairés afin que la grossesse soit synonyme d'opportunité pour votre business !Je suis Solène Pignet, votre hôte. Je suis moi-même cheffe d'entreprise depuis 2014 et autrice du Guide de l'Entrepreneur Durable publié aux éditions Dunod … que j'ai justement écrit pendant ma première grossesse. (Pour en savoir plus sur mon histoire, et la genèse de ce podcast, et ce qui m'a poussé à créer la Préparation Business à la Grossesse, je vous invite à écouter l'épisode 0 !) Je suis convaincue que la maternité peut être une force positive dans le développement de son activité - même quand tout ne se passe pas comme prévu - et c'est ce que je vous invite à explorer au fil des épisodes.

Ep. 191: This episode includes discussion of infertility and pregnancy loss—please listen with care. Today's episode is a special conversation with Dr. Molly Burrets, a clinical psychologist and professor at USC, about the deeply personal and often invisible experience of reproductive grief. Dr. Molly struggled with infertility herself, facing miscarriage, a TFMR, and ultimately pursuing IVF abroad. Having made it through to the other side, she shares what these experiences taught her—about grief, resilience, and what it means to be truly supported. Anyone navigating infertility, pregnancy loss, or supporting someone through it will get a lot from this conversation. ____________________ Leave Me a Message - click here!

In the Marshall Islands, a baby turning one is a big celebration. It's known as the kemem. The occasion is usually marked with a big gathering with lots of food and entertainment, perhaps a live band or a DJ along with traditional singing. There can be themes, rides and t-shirts bearing the baby's face plus gifts for all the guests. But this tradition comes from an important place. Sistas, Let's Talk learns about the customs and history when it comes to the kemem as well as post-partum practices of Marshallese women.   This week's episode of Sistas, Let's Talk is a repeat of the show broadcast on 12th October 2023

Leave a review! Do you ever feel like your postpartum body just doesn't measure up?

In this episode, I chat with Erin Azar (@immrsspacecadet) about what it took to go from quitting everything she started to training for—and finishing—her first marathon. Erin opens up about running postpartum, the mental battles that came with starting from zero, and how documenting her journey online helped her stay consistent when things got hard. We talk about what it felt like to run in a body that didn't feel like hers, how working with a coach changed her approach, and what it was like to train for a marathon during the early days of COVID. Erin also shares what finally helped her break the cycle of giving up, what fueling strategies worked (and didn't), and how the Galloway method led to a breakthrough PR. If you've ever struggled with consistency, self-doubt, or starting over, this conversation is a reminder that slow progress is still progress—and it can take you farther than you think.

In this episode I share a recent emotional breakthrough during my postpartum journey that cracked me open to a new truth: we don't grieve our growth enough. We celebrate milestones, push forward, and aim higher—but rarely do we give ourselves permission to pause and feel the weight of what we're leaving behind. I explore the primal need to grieve not only loss, but evolution. I speak to the power of vulnerability, the strength in our tears, and the beauty of creating space to honor every version of ourselves—especially the ones we're outgrowing. What I Cover: The underrated necessity of grieving growth—not just breakups or endings, but even our own expansion. A postpartum breakthrough that helped me see how much I needed to mourn parts of my former self. Tears are not weakness—they're power, release, and healing. Vulnerability is not a liability; it's where true breakthroughs happen. Society often skips over the emotional transitions that come with growth—but grieving is primal, healthy, and powerful. You don't have to label something as “bad” to feel sad about it ending. Making peace with your past self is a sacred step in embodying your next level. Reframing grief as a sign of evolution, not regression. Why emotional release is part of embodiment, especially in big life transitions like motherhood.   Links to Danielle's Work: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedaniellereedy/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedaniellereedy  Join my Newsletter: www.daniellekettlewell.com/links
