As of 2022, the supplement industry was estimated to be worth $35.6 billion. But all that glitters is not gold. Supplement companies have a history of stepping into murky waters with health claims and products that don't provide what they say is on the bottle—or sometimes include unlisted ingredients. Further, women are grossly underrepresented in ownership and leadership roles in the supplement industry, though most purchases are made by women. My guest today is defying these odds, paving new pathways, and setting a new standard for quality in this space. In this episode of On Health, Katerina Schneider, the Founder and CEO of Ritual Vitamins, shares her remarkable journey of entrepreneurship. From humble beginnings to creating a multi-million-dollar company and having three babies along the way, she's proud to be an industry disruptor on every level. In our discussion, we touch on a variety of hot topics, including the critical need for transparency within the supplement industry, from testing to traceable sources, and we dive into the challenges female entrepreneurs face navigating motherhood, marriage dynamics, boundaries, and balance.   Katerina and I get into: Growing up as a refugee and how it's fuelled Kat's drive as an entrepreneur What inspired the creation of Ritual and the gaps Kat's on a mission to fill in the supplement space Kat's experience building a business as a pregnant woman in a male-dominated society The presence of heavy metals in supplements and the need for transparency in the supplement industry Raising money and the financial risks Kat's taken How Kat practices self-care and wellness in her personal life Navigating the natural shifts that take place within a long-term partnership Katerina's insights and experiences inspire, encouraging us to embrace our dreams, reach for excellence, and decide how we define success.   Thank you for taking the time to tune in to your body, yourself, and this podcast!

Clinical psychologist Jean Cheng joins Janet to discuss the puzzling, painful, and self-defeating feelings that our children's behaviors can bring up in us as parents. No matter how well educated and prepared we are for this role, we might find ourselves overwhelmed and viscerally reacting by yelling, threatening, or "checking out." Often the answer lies in our own childhoods, in subtle wounds and traumas we may have had no awareness of before becoming parents. Dr. Cheng describes the myriad of ways our parents and caregivers – while often doing their very best – may have left wounds. She illuminates “this inner landscape of feelings” that our brains tend to minimize but which can manifest in a lack of self-confidence, an inability to maintain boundaries, and “reactions that are different from the kind of parents we want to be.” Janet and Jean discuss ways to recognize and acknowledge our childhood wounds and address them with empathy and compassion.

Janet responds to a series of questions from her inbox about some typical behavior challenges parents face. Topics include a child refusing to follow directions, another who stirs up a sibling's emotions leaving the parent struggling to cope with her two upset children at once, a daughter who repeats her parent's foul language, and a son who reflects the mannerisms of his less mature peer. Janet finds common themes in these issues that she hopes will ease parents' minds and help them to respond in the most effective manner. Thanks again to Ritual Vitamins for supporting this podcast.

A single mother writes that she is frustrated and exhausted by her almost 3-year-old's constant resistance. Every aspect of their lives is either a negotiation or a struggle: dressing, leaving the house, getting into his car seat, drop-offs at school. This mom describes some recent big transitions in her boy's life, and she is sensitive to the possibility that he may have separation issues. She says she does incorporate many of Janet's ideas into her parenting practices, but she's desperate for some guidance to make their relationship less challenging.

While every child will eventually and inevitably learn to use the potty, the process can be stressful, frustrating, and often counterproductive for both the child and caregiver. Janet knows it doesn't have to be this way. She offers her perspective on the process and a potty learning method that recognizes a child's natural motivation to achieve this milestone (they can do this), and how parents can support the effort without pressure, bribes, or deal-making. The result is a child whose self-confidence grows in all areas because he has been allowed to own this accomplishment. Thanks again to Ritual Vitamins for supporting this podcast.

A parent writes that she and her husband are concerned their toddler feels responsible for their emotions. This is a trait they both recognize from their own backgrounds. “He asks again and again, ‘Happy, mommy?' as if he's trying to help me be happy.” This mom says that if she admits that, no, she is not entirely happy at the moment, he gives her hugs and cuddles and persists in asking if she's happy. While these parents want to foster their child's empathy and sensitivity, they don't want him taking on the burden of other people's emotions. They're hoping Janet has some advice to help manage this delicate balancing act. Thanks again to Ritual Vitamins for supporting this podcast.

Janet shares a family's inspiring success story about dealing with their 3.5-year-old's repeated, seemingly wanton problem behavior. The parent admits that both she and her husband were frustrated and “triggered” by the behavior, and they reacted with anger and scolding. The situation came to a head when their boy started lying about his actions, which was particularly hurtful to his dad. After reading some of Janet's advice, they were able to consider their child's POV with empathy and realize how their reactions may have “made the truth feel unsafe or uncomfortable.” They changed their approach completely and now feel confident their relationship with their child can survive any future storms.

A parent's email describes her 4-year-old daughter as smart, funny, incredibly strong-willed, but sometimes “downright mean.” While she appreciates her child's spirit and doesn't want to stifle that, when she says mean things to her she doesn't feel it's enough to simply acknowledge her daughter's emotions and let slide her hurtful words and behavior. “I need her to find a better way to express that she is angry with me,” she writes. Janet offers a perspective on the situation that she believes will help this mom better understand her daughter's unconscious motives and intent, and ultimately ameliorate the behavior.

Janet offers advice for handling some of the most common complaints parents share about their children's mealtime behavior: throwing food on the floor, leaving and then returning to the table, refusing to eat certain foods, and lingering endlessly. Janet shares her view that all of these behaviors reflect 3 basic needs children have at mealtime, and by recognizing and filling those needs, the behaviors ultimately subside.

Three different families write to Janet about their children's challenging behaviors. In one case, a 2.5-year-old has resumed an old behavior of hitting and scratching, “but this time around it feels like he's doing it with more purpose.” Another parent says that when their 5-year-old exhibits rude behavior and is called on it, he gets angry and accuses both parents of being mean to him. A third parent writes that her son loves rule breaking, often in dangerous situations, and that “his eyes light up when we say ‘no' to things.” All of these parents have exercised patience, but the behaviors continue, and so they've become frustrated and find themselves getting angry. Janet reveals a common thread and suggests a solution she believes will address these behaviors. Thanks again to Ritual Vitamins for supporting this podcast.

Recently parents have written to Janet with concerns about their toddlers who are venturing back into the world post-Covid and seem afraid to interact with other children and adults. Several parents even use a similar description of their child seeming ‘frozen' as they watch activity on a playground but refuse to join in. Janet offers some insight about what's going on in these toddler's minds and advice about how to support them during this transition. Thanks again to Ritual Vitamins for supporting this podcast.

Janet discusses children's crucial need for boundaries and how our authentic responses can free kids up to create and explore. She shares a success story from a parent who says that her son began constantly demanding she draw pictures for him after she "made a rookie mistake” by drawing for him one time. From that moment on, her son became obsessed: “Inside, he’d bring me crayons and paper, and outside, he’d bring me sidewalk chalk and demand drawings.” She quickly realized that she didn’t want to be drawing for him all the time and understood that this was a boundaries issue. Janet describes the common feelings that get in the way of our creating and maintaining boundaries with our children, how to overcome them and why everyone benefits.

A parent writes that for the past few weeks her son’s 3-year old playmate will not share his toys. He cries, “That’s mine… he can’t play with it,” tries to take the toys back, and often has melt downs. While she says her boy doesn’t seem particularly fazed by the behavior, the other boy’s mother is distressed and confused about expectations she should set about sharing toys at home. The writer says: “For my part, I’d begun to feel a bit protective for my son, while at the same time understanding that possessiveness is common and expected in children their age.” Since these two boys have been playing together exclusively during the pandemic, the parents want their interactions to be positive. Both parents are anxious to know what’s appropriate in terms of limits, expectations. and interventions and would like Janet’s advice. Thanks again to Ritual Vitamins for sponsoring this episode.

Janet shares a parent’s dramatic story recounting how she overcame her fear and doubt to allow her 6-year-old to express explosive emotions. In a wonderfully detailed e-mail to Janet, this mom describes a feeling of distance from her son and the respectful – albeit difficult, loud and sometimes scary – steps she took to welcome his “messy and uncomfortable” feelings and let them play out. In retrospect, she says she now understands what it means to trust her child’s feelings and recognizes that “this is what really deep emotional healing looks like.” Thanks again to Ritual Vitamins for sponsoring this episode.

In this year-end episode, Janet shares what she describes as her most valuable advice for parents -- a mindset that brings clarity to our role in our children's lives, makes our job more enjoyable and successful, and may even offer us personal growth. Janet explains why and how this perspective works, offers practical examples, and touches on some of the common issues that can get in our way. As parents, we tend to question ourselves: are we doing this parenting thing right, or are we failing? Janet's message is to afford ourselves the same trust and grace we hope to give to our children, to fully believe that we can do this! Thanks to RITUAL for sponsoring this episode.

Anissa Ballesteros is here today to share her two birth stories with us. For her first baby, Anissa had planned and prepared for an unmedicated hospital birth but her baby was breech so she ended up having a cesarean. When she got pregnant with her second baby, she knew she wanted a different experience so she hired Karly and planned a home birth. Anissa shares about how difficult her cesarean birth was for her and how healing and positive her HBAC (home birth after cesarean) experience was. --- SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!

Confused and dismayed, a parent asks Janet for help with a bedtime pattern that has developed with her 3-year-old. Her daughter keeps changing her mind about being tucked in. Unable to please her child either way, this mom leaves the room, which causes her daughter to explode. Upset by the outburst of emotion, she soon returns. “As soon as I go back she calms down, gets in bed, and lets me tuck her in and leave the room without a fuss.” This mom is worried that she is encouraging her daughter to use a tantrum to prolong bedtime and wonders if Janet has suggestions for shifting this pattern into a happier bedtime routine.

In this episode we’re talking with Cheyenne Varner of The Educated Birth about representation and inclusivity in the birth world. Cheyenne is a birth and postpartum doula and graphic designer in Richmond, VA. She started The Educated Birth, a collection of childbirth education materials including Everyday Birth Magazine, in 2016, when she couldn't find materials with representation of families of color. She has been learning, creating, and partnering with other professionals to provide more inclusive and accessible health education materials ever since. Cheyenne shares about how inclusivity and representation are lacking in the birth world and why she’s on a mission to change that. We also discuss equity vs. equality and what she considers to be some best practices for equity work in the birth world.

A parent hopes to encourage her 21-month old’s self-directed play by sitting with her in her play area observing, “ready to respond if she engages with me.” Lately, she says, her daughter has been asking for help with tasks she can do by herself, and also actively directing both she and her husband to perform various roles. “She wants us to play, and she will watch.” This mom feels this dynamic may be stifling self-direction, so she’s wondering if Janet has any suggestions how she can encourage her daughter’s play without participating herself, while still letting her know she is present and engaged.

A parent describes the stress her family has been experiencing over the past several months and believes her 4.5 year old son has been particularly affected. “He was in Montessori and becoming very independent. Little by little, we’ve seen a huge regression in his behavior.” She describes a number of issues where she sees her son regressing, including hitting, kicking and throwing things; disrespecting her body with unwanted touching; and an unwillingness to wipe himself after using the toilet. This last issue recently caused a physical altercation which this mom truly regrets. She wants to know how to encourage her son’s developing independence “without resorting to negative and hurtful parenting tactics.” Janet offers her advice.

Even in the best of times, caring for children is a balancing act that is never mastered. The ground shifts constantly, and we adapt accordingly, doing our very best to provide care, love, support and encouragement within the daily rhythms of our lives. Our children are acutely aware of change or disruption, and they look to us for stability and leadership. In fact, they insist upon it. If we falter, they’ll reflect it in their behaviors. That’s a lot of pressure! In this episode, Janet offers five suggestions parents can use to help maintain their balance with confidence and grace.

You may remember Dominique from episode 70 where she shared about her first two births (an unmedicated hospital birth and a home birth that included a significant shoulder dystocia). Preparing for this birth was different for Dominique because of the shoulder dystocia she experienced while giving birth to her son. She shares about the process of finding supportive care providers (the wonderful team at Bay Area Community Birth Center in Pasadena, TX), how she weighed the risks of a vaginal vs. cesarean delivery when making her birth plan, and how Aminah’s birth unfolded. It’s a wonderful episode with an awesome repeat guest and we’re so excited we get to share her story with you!   --- If you liked this episode of the Birth Kweens Podcast, tell your friends!

I love the end of the year! It's such a magical time, with the holidays, looking back and savoring all the wonderful moments and accomplishments of the past year, and looking ahead to the unlimited possibilities and potential of the upcoming year. And it's even more special right now as we head into the year 2020, a number that conjures up vision and clarity, and the start of a new decade. In today's episode, and at this magical transition point, I'm talking all about how you can set yourself up for success in the new year and the new decade. In particular, I talk about: What the science of goal setting has to say about why the majority of New Years resolutions fail How we as women need to rethink new years resolutions and instead get in touch with, and use, our desires in conjunction with our goals, combining the feminine and the masculine Starting with how we want to feel, and who want to be, not what we want to do, in 2020 – and I give lots of examples from my own desires How we can think of our goals as SMART goals and SMART PLUS goals The importance of backing up your goals with your “why” And if you're listening to this episode right when it comes out, you'll want to sign up for my free training, Be EMPOWERED in 2020, which will be held at 7 pm ET on Monday, December 16! In this training I'll be going over the 3 pillars of a happy, fulfilled woman, the # 1 issue that is keeping women from being free and alive and on purpose (and it's probably not what you think!), my proven 5-step process to becoming the empowered woman you want to be, and more!

If you feel like this holiday season came earlier this year, and the pressure is more pronounced, you're not imagining it. On this week's Spawned parenting podcast, we're (complaining) talking about the very real reasons this year feels more intense. BUT! It's okay! We've also got tons of expert tips for managing the 4 biggest stressors of the holiday season: Gifts, money, family, and external pressure. // Find all the links from today's show including our cool picks of the week on the Cool Mom Picks podcast page. // Extra thanks to our fantastic sponsors, FAMfriendly.com, which offers helpful resources for raising smart digital kids; as well as Ritual Vitamins, who is offering Spawned listeners 10% off your first 3-month subscription of their Essentials for Women multivitamin. // Thanks SO much for listening, and for and all your truly lovely (sniff), thoughtful (sniff), very kind reviews lately.

The new parenting panic du jour: Kids and social media. TERRIFYING! But...wait. What if social media isn't really the problem some experts will tell you it is? What if parents are essentially just handing car keys to kids and being shocked that they don't know how to drive? There's so much more we can do! We think you'll love this episode, full of helpful tips and advice that go way, way beyond "don't send nudes." (Which, duh. Don't send nudes!) Whether your kids have their own Snapchat accounts or seem years away from phones of their own, we think this honest, non-alarmist, positive discussion can help us all raise the next generation of responsible,  thoughtful digital citizens. // Big thanks to our sponsors VSP Vision Plans and Ritual Vitamins (and their special discount for our listeners) for supporting what we do. // Find the show notes on the Cool Mom Picks podcast page, and join the discussion in the Spawned FB community.

This week, we're sharing a thoughtful, revealing and intimate chat between Liz and author/single mom advocate Rachel Sklar about the term "single mom" -- who gets to use it, why it's a loaded phrase, why there's a single mom heirarchy, and how race, age, and income are a factor in how single or solo parenting is perceived. Liz reveals some personal details she hasn't shared on the show before, and Rachel helps all of us rethink the complex and nuanced world of single parenthood.  // We are grateful to the support of this week's sponsors, BiOBUDDi eco-friendly building blocks (20% off through this link with code SPAWNED) and Ritual Vitamins (10% off your first 3 months through this link). // Full show notes on the Spawned podcast page or join the discussion in the Spawned Facebook community. // Thanks so much for listening, subscribing, telling friends (you are telling friends, right?) and all of your amazing five-star reviews!

Dealing with perinatal mental health issues is a difficult enough task, but the problem is compounded for Muslim women living in the US. My guest today helps us understand the issues and how we can best support these moms. Dr. Venus Mahmoodi specializes in trauma and reproductive mental health. More specifically, in today’s show, she’ll tell us about perinatal mental health for Muslim women, including the rates of depression for the Muslim community in the US, what makes them particularly vulnerable to perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, and how we can support Muslim women in a culturally competent way. Dr. Mahmoodi completed her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at Palo Alto University in California, with an emphasis on women’s neuroscience and health through collaboration with Stanford University. Her clinical training included working with refugees and torture survivors, veterans, and perinatal women in a specialized, intensive outpatient program. Her dissertation focused on the perinatal experience of Muslim women living in the US, including the protective aspects of Islamic practice during and after pregnancy against depressive symptoms. Dr. Mahmoodi completed specialized training through Postpartum Support International, and advanced specialized training in grief/loss and distress related to infertility at the Seleni Institute in NY. She now cares for individuals and couples at the Seleni Institute, which focuses on perinatal mental health as well as the Haleel Center, which focuses on the mental well-being of Muslims. Show Highlights: Why the percentages of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders increase for women of color, including Muslim women (up to 28%), but there are lower levels of support, services, and resources How culture and religion play huge roles in the Muslim population The unique challenges for Muslim women, including issues with their country of origin, because their practices will differ from those in other countries The far-reaching effects of Islam in countries around the world, with Indonesia and South Asia having the largest numbers The misconceptions that Muslims only come from Middle Eastern countries How the two sects of Muslims differ in how their religion is practiced and expectations for pregnancy and postpartum Societal pressure and family pressure within the Muslim community How family traditions in pregnancy and postpartum can lead to stress and anxiety for moms Religious practice and prayer restrictions in the Muslim community Other coping strategies that Muslim women can use when they are restricted from prayers Feelings of inadequacy for the Muslim mother How The Haleel Center finds ways to incorporate religious thought and women’s expectations Vulnerabilities for Muslim women in gender roles and stigmas for patriarchal societies Strengths for Muslim women in that religion protects them against mental illness, helps them cope with and manage stress, and gives them a sense of connection to God How we can support Muslim women in culturally competent ways by being curious and avoiding assumptions Join our Patreon today and support this Podcast: Patreon: Mom And Mind Our listeners get a 10% discount on Ritual Vitamins for your first three months!

**TRIGGER WARNING: sexual abuse** Karli Haviland is a doula, wife, and mom from Arizona. She was generous enough to come on the show and share about how being a survivor of sexual abuse impacted her experiences giving birth. Karli opens up about how her first birth was unexpectedly triggering for her, the work she did after that experience to begin the healing process, and how she and her birth team approached her second labor to avoid re-traumatization. It’s an important and empowering story and we’re so grateful that Karli was willing to share it with us! Here’s a few resources Karli mentioned in her interview: Melissa Dohse of Cultivate Counseling - https://www.cultivatecounselingflagstaff.com/when-survivors-give-brith Info about the workshop When Survivors Give Birth -http://whensurvivorsgivebirth.net You can view the birth plan that Karli put together with the help of her therapist on our website.

We all face challenges in our lives, and how we react to these challenges has a huge impact on our well being. Some have said that positive psychology at its core is all about struggling well, and in today's episode I'm talking about different types of traumas that we face and how we can struggle well with them, how we can overcome our challenges. I dive deeply into the concept of post-traumatic growth (PTG), and break down the five aspects of PTG. Providing examples for each, I walk through all five aspects and show new ways of relating to one's traumas and turning your pain into purpose. I offer tools that you can use right now to deal with traumas, both small and large. In this episode I mention Ritual Vitamins, which has been a sponsor of our show.

Here’s an overview of what’s covered in this episode: What tongue and lip ties are (different types, where they’re found anatomically, etc.) How tongue/lip ties are diagnosed and whether lactation consultants are qualified to make a diagnosis How ties can impact breastfeeding and whether they always present a problem When ties usually start to impact feeding (whether it’s immediate or if issues can present later on) Whether a tie can impact a bottle fed baby Some of the things that parents can look for at home that might signify their baby has a tie What parents should do if they suspect their baby has a tie (including what type of care provider they should see to get it diagnoses/treated) What kind of lactation/feeding support a family usually needs after getting their baby’s tongue and/or lip ties revised Robin’s input on why it seems like there’s such a high incidence of lip and tongue ties these days Resources suggested by Robin Catherine Watson Genna’s website and Ghaheri’s website SDBFC’s blog on tongue/lip ties YouTube video about infant factor breastfeeding issues Frenectomy Home Care Info video https://tonguetie.net/?option=com_content&task=view&id=3&Itemid=3 Click here to listen to Robin’s first interview with us about how to set yourself up for success with breastfeeding Click here to buy Robin’s book!  SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR!

The teenage years can be a very difficult time. They certainly were for me. This weekend I spoke to 250 teenagers, and I wanted to give them the exact message that they need to hear right now to know that they're going to be OK. Inside of each of us are all of our younger selves, us at every age we've ever been, still having an impact on our current selves, and today I'm discussing what we need to say those younger versions of ourselves, and how it can affect how we treat others. Before giving this talk I posed a question on Facebook, asking what people felt their own teenage selves needed to hear, and in this episode I share some of the best suggestions from the wisdom of this crowd, and my own thoughts on them based on my own experiences. I also mention Ritual Vitamins, which has been a sponsor of our show, and you can start getting yours at https://Ritual.com/purposegirl.
