Ep. 176: A Glimpse into Pulse Check (HeHe's New Project with Mandy Irby!) Aug 18, 2021

Show notes

Inside the halls of American hospitals, millions of people find comfort, healing, and support. But for many doctors and nurses, this couldn’t be further from the truth.

This podcast will dive into the shadows of American healthcare to investigate and uncover the abuse, control, and political power plays that leave the very people responsible for our nation's health, broken and battered.

We’re sharing stories of professionals in medicine that have experienced horrendous treatment at the hands of a broken system that does nothing to stop the trauma. As the Association of American Medical Colleges states, “Long before the #MeToo movement, women in medicine have instinctively banded together to counter a culture that too often tolerated harassment.”

From systemic trauma to abuse of power to the unspoken rules of cover-ups and corruption, Mandy Irby and HeHe will take you to the darkest corners of healthcare in America so you can have an inside look at bringing humanity back to medicine!

Sensitive Content Warning: This podcast will share details of triggering subjects such as sexual assault and workplace violence, so if you aren’t in a space to listen, respect your mental health and tune in again at another time.

Ep. 171 The Importance of Self-Care in Motherhood with Karena Skibinksi Jun 16, 2021

Show notes

Karena Skibinski, is an occupational therapist based in mental health, mother, and host of the “what about the mama?” podcast. Karena’s work is designed to inspire mamas to shift the focus from all about the baby to themselves (even if it’s just during the episodes), and to use self-care as a modality to rediscover their intuition. When it comes to motherhood, there's an overabundance of information, and Karena's mission is to empower mamas to not only educate themselves but to also trust their intuition as the guiding light on their motherhood journey. Through practicing self-care, mamas tap into their intuition, bringing more confidence, ease and enjoyment into their parenting. Karena strongly believes that self-care isn’t just facemasks and massages, especially as mamas; it’s also about setting boundaries and communicating your needs – although a massage is SO nice every once in a while! She enjoys trying new recipes, going on long walks, swimming, and lazy afternoons on the couch.
