  • Your Maternity Leave Guide: Benefits, Job Protection & What Nobody Tells You with Shelly Yehuda Ep. 138

    Your Maternity Leave Guide: Benefits, Job Protection & What Nobody Tells You with Shelly Yehuda Ep. 138
    2026/09/16

    If you're pregnant in California and you haven't looked into your maternity leave benefits yet — this episode is your sign. California has some of the most comprehensive maternity leave protections in the country, but the system is confusing, the deadlines are strict, and most moms don't find out what they were entitled to until it's too late.

    Mariela sits down with Shelly Yehuda, a maternity leave advocate who helps California women navigate the system so they can maximize every benefit, protect their job, and actually be present with their baby in those early weeks — without the financial stress hanging over them.

    This is practical, empowering, and honestly overdue. Every pregnant mama in California needs to hear this one.

    In This Episode, We Cover:

    💛 Every benefit available to California moms on maternity leave — and the exact steps to make sure you're getting every dollar you're entitled to

    💛 The most critical deadlines you need to know before you go out on leave — and what happens if you miss them

    💛 How job protection works in California, what your employer is legally obligated to do, and what to do if you feel your position is being threatened while you're out

    💛 Lesser-known programs, additional benefits, and employer negotiations that moms regularly leave on the table simply because they didn't know to ask

    💛 What to do in the months before your due date to lock in your benefits, secure your position, and avoid any gaps in pay

    About Our Guest:

    Shelly Yehuda is a California maternity leave advocate who helps women navigate one of the most overwhelming systems a new mom can face. Her mission is simple: make a confusing process feel clear, manageable, and fully supportive — so moms can focus on what actually matters. She specializes in helping women maximize their benefits, protect their jobs, and go into leave feeling prepared and confident.

  • Beautifully Postpartum: Redefining Self-Care with Courtney Boylan from Le Lolo Ep 137

    Beautifully Postpartum: Redefining Self-Care with Courtney Boylan from Le Lolo Ep 137
    2026/09/02

    This episode is brought to you by Legendairy Milk. Use code NEWMOM15 at checkout to get 15% off She's Flowing.

    Join us for an honest, practical conversation with Courtney Boylan, founder of Le Lolo, who’s on a mission to beautify postpartum care. Courtney reframes postpartum self-care as more than quick fixes or Instagram-ready moments — it’s about dignity, functionality, and building sustainable routines that honor new parents’ needs. She shares design-minded solutions, mindset shifts, and real-life routines for parents juggling newborn care, limited sleep, and other responsibilities.

    What we cover

    • A broader definition of postpartum self-care beyond “sleep when the baby sleeps”
    • Cultural expectations that block sustainable postpartum recovery
    • Practical, non-negotiable self-care routines for busy new parents
    • How partners, family, and healthcare providers can better support individualized postpartum needs
    • Small mindset shifts and daily practices to rebuild identity, confidence, and agency
    • The design thinking behind Le Lolo’s products and why beauty + function matters in postpartum essentials

    Who this episode is for

    • New and expecting parents
    • Partners and family members supporting someone postpartum
    • Postpartum care advocates, doulas, and clinicians
    • Parents who want practical self-care strategies that actually fit real life

    Guest

    Courtney Boylan — Founder of Le Lolo; creator of thoughtfully designed, beautiful postpartum essentials inspired by her experience as a mom of three.

    Key takeaways

    • Postpartum self-care is practical, individualized, and dignified — not just errands and baths.
    • Design and aesthetics can improve how postpartum products are used and how parents feel while using them.
    • Small, consistent routines (tailored to your life) beat idealized, unsustainable “self-care” strategies.
    • Support systems—partners, family, clinicians—play a crucial role when they recognize and validate individual needs.
    • Rebuilding a sense of self starts with small daily practices and permission to prioritize care.
