The following podcast is a dear media production.

She's also the chief research officer at Authentic Connections, which is a nonprofit she founded.

And to help have this conversation, I wanted to include Sunia, who's done such beautiful work looking at children's health and well being and maternal health and well being.

Put your own oxygen mask on first and that way you can take

hopefully once in a lifetime Mother's Day to be this alone and under this

much stress and fear.

Now more than ever, it's time for us to be taking care of moms

and helping them take care of each other. When you talk about taking care of moms and helping them take care of each other.
