We got together this morning, emotions still raw, to process the results of the election and what this means for our futures and the future of neli.

We’re not going to stop advocating for caregivers of all kinds. Take today, rest, regroup, feel all the feels, and join us as we charge forward tomorrow.

Brittany and Katie

First, Jillian is amazing. She is a kind, supportive leader and just an incredible human. We were so excited to have her on the show.

In this conversation, Jillian shares her experiences of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum with her two children. We walk through the challenges she faced during her pregnancies, including severe morning sickness and high blood pressure, and balancing her health with the pressures of being a leader in a large company. She shares her birth stories and the challenges of recovering from a c-section, along with the emotional toll a birth experience that doesn't align with your expectations takes.

We also tackle her transitioning back to work and the pressure to prove herself as a mother. We exploire what it means for us to prioritize our own wellbeing in the face of a demanding career, and how we can better support women in the workplace.

Take a listen.

We loved this conversation with Rachelle Stinson. She was kind enough to chat with us while she was THREE months postpartum after having TWINS. She's right there in the thick of things.

We talk about the surprise of having twins, the struggle of transitioning from one child to multiples, how mom guilt can overwhelm us, and how important it is to have a village surrounding you and helping you along the way.

• Transitioning from one kid to multiples
• How every pregnancy is so different
• C-sections and recovery can be physically and emotionally demanding.
• How important support from family and friends is during the postpartum period.
• Recovering from severe abdominal surgery after giving birth to twins can be physically and emotionally challenging. It is important to listen to your body and not push yourself too hard.
• Life with twins
• Finding a groove and going back to work
• It's OK to mourn the life you had while being happy for these new adventures
