  • Be the Private Eye Parent: Don't Let Your Childcare Search Suck

    Be the Private Eye Parent: Don't Let Your Childcare Search Suck
    Mar 5 2026
    Here’s the truth we rarely say out loud:Parents are making childcare decisions while still in postpartum recovery.

    Still healing.
    Still sleep deprived.
    Still under pressure to return to work.

    And we expect them to properly vet the people caring for their children?

    In this bold and necessary episode, Yuvelca Magdalena sits down with Jennifer Tawil — Postpartum Doula and former Private Investigator — to expose the blind spots in most childcare searches.

    This conversation explores:

    • Why “they seemed nice” is not a safety strategy
    • The red flags parents overlook during interviews
    • Why references alone are not protection
    • How trauma can begin in subtle environments
    • Why childcare planning IS postpartum planning
    • What “Trust but Verify” really means

    Jennifer combines 25 years of investigative experience with postpartum care to equip families with structure, clarity, and confidence.

    This episode is not fear-based.

    It is informed protection.

    Because safety is not assumed.
    It is verified.

  • It Goes Together Like Peanut Butter & Jelly: Birth Work + Lactation Certification

    It Goes Together Like Peanut Butter & Jelly: Birth Work + Lactation Certification
    Feb 26 2026
    In this transparent 'Hello Chime In' conversation, Yuvelca Magdalena sits down with Leslie Owens, RN, IBCLC, to unpack why birth work and lactation certification truly go together “like peanut butter and jelly.”Together, they explore the real barriers that keep doulas and birth workers from pursuing the IBCLC pathway — including myths about needing to be a nurse, going back to college, or rearranging your entire life to gain clinical hours. Leslie breaks down the differences between CLCs and IBCLCs, the realities of insurance coverage, and how representation in lactation care directly impacts maternal and infant health outcomes.The conversation moves beyond technique and into deeper layers: racial bias in healthcare, trauma and nervous system activation during breastfeeding, public health implications, and the urgent need for more Black and Brown IBCLCs in the field.This episode is not just about certification — it’s about access, advocacy, excellence, and building sustainable, community-rooted leadership in birth work.If you’ve ever considered expanding your impact through lactation support, this conversation may shift what you thought was possible.
