    Sensitive skin and newborns often go hand in hand, leaving parents overwhelmed, exhausted, and unsure of what products are truly safe and effective. In this episode, we sit down with Andrea Faulkner Williams, co-founder of Tubby Todd Bath Co., to talk about navigating dryness, eczema, and reactive skin in babies.

    We dive into why newborn skin is so delicate, common triggers for irritation, how to simplify your baby’s skincare routine, and what parents should look for when choosing products. Andrea also opens up about balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship while raising four little ones in San Diego.

  • Mom Groups and the Power of Community with Sarah Greidanus

    Mom Groups and the Power of Community with Sarah Greidanus

    Mom groups have been making headlines lately, and not always in a positive way. While stories about mom group drama and social tension can get attention, they don’t reflect what supportive communities are truly about. The right mom group can be a lifeline during pregnancy and postpartum, offering connection, encouragement, and practical support when families need it most.

    In this episode of Ask the Doulas, Kristin Revere of Gold Coast Doulas sits down with Sarah Greidanus, Owner of FIT4MOM Grand Rapids, to discuss the real value of mom groups and how to find one that feels welcoming and supportive. We discuss how structured mom groups help reduce isolation, build confidence, and create meaningful friendships during a major life transition.

    You’ll learn what to expect from FIT4MOM classes and meetups, how community support improves both physical and emotional wellness, and why surrounding yourself with the right people can make motherhood feel less overwhelming.

    Whether you're expecting your first baby or adjusting to life with multiple children, this episode will help you understand how to find your village and why positive mom communities matter more than ever.

    This conversation is a reminder that motherhood was never meant to be done alone.

    Choosing a baby formula can feel overwhelming, especially in a world full of strong opinions and fear-based messaging. In this episode, I’m joined by Mallory Whitmore, known as The Formula Mom, to have an honest, judgment-free conversation about formula feeding.

    We break down the different types of baby formula, how to read ingredient lists without getting caught up in fear around soy, corn syrup, or seed oils, and how to release the guilt or shame that can sometimes surround feeding choices.

    Whether you’re exclusively formula feeding, combo feeding, or simply exploring your options, this episode will help you feel informed, confident, and supported.

    Mallory is the author of the new book,
    Bottle Service: Education and Encouragement for Guilt-Free and Successful Formula Feeding, which is available in bookstores and online.
