Be Impactful by Impact Fashion

Hi, I’m Rivky Itzkowitz I’m the founder and designer at Impact Fashion and I’m the host here at Be Impactful, the show about women making an Impact in their own corners of the world. I started Impact Fashion in November of 2016 so that the modest minded women in my community could feel empowered to put their best foot forward every day, regardless of their size. In the process of growing my business I’ve been fortunate enough to connect with women of all different types and from all different fields. And the main lesson I’ve learnt is that we are all just improvising. We’re going around doing the best we can with what we’ve got, feeling self conscious about what everyone else is accomplishing. The truth is, the people who you’re looking over your shoulder at are probably doing the exact same thing to someone else.
So let’s talk about the real nitty gritty in our lives and journeys and lift each other up by being just a bit more open. Join me and my guests as we try to figure out what it means to Be Impactful.

Selfish Moms with Tamari Jacob Jun 17, 2024

Show notes

Rivky sits down with lactation consultant and mom Tamari Jacob to talk about feeding our kids. They discuss how the traits that make the best adults make for really annoying kids, her own journey with breastfeeding and pumping, how she prioritizes self care and makes sure her kids know exactly what she's doing and the labor split in their marriages.

Tamari didn't choose the pump life. The pump life chose her. She always dreamed of nursing her babies, but her first born just wasn't on board with that. Cut to her scouring the internet for advice on how to pump exclusively so she could still give him breastmilk and finding, well, nothing. Tamari became a lactation counselor and started One With the Pump so she could offer mamas the resources and support she wishes she had all those years ago. onewiththepump.com @onewiththepump
