In part 2 of Tabria’s riveting conversation with Dr. Anna Malaika Tubbs and top midwife Debbie Allen, Debbie shares why empowering and supporting birthing parents before, during and after delivery leads to healthier outcomes, and the importance of consent and relationship in maternity care. Anna reflects on the direct impact birth experiences and maternity care has on one’s parenting, why insurance coverage for midwifery is a tangible step towards better care, and her certainty that if birthing people had the experiences that she, Debbie and Tabria had, it would solve our country’s maternal health crisis.    The ladies unpack their postpartum experiences and the impact paid leave and midwifery can have (forget dragging you and your baby to a pediatric office - midwives come to YOU), and Debbie shares her pro tips on finding and working with midwives and OBs, as well as her ideal maternity care design, which includes autonomous birthing centers attached to hospitals and direly needed mental health services. Don’t miss Anna’s message of hope for families at the end!  Bobbie For Change + The Breastie’s petition for insurance coverage of infant formula or donor milk for new parents impacted by breast and gynecologic cancer treatment:  https://www.hibobbie.com/pages/bobbie-for-change?_ab=0&_fd=0&_sc=1 Follow Bobbie on IG for all Milk Drunk Podcast updates: @Bobbie   Learn more about Bobbie organic baby formula: https://www.hibobbie.com   And for more real talk about parenthood (and babyhood!), head to Milk Drunk: https://milk-drunk.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Do you really know the history of obstetrics in the U.S. and what the patriarchy did to develop it? Bestselling author, advocate, educator, sociologist, speaker, and scholar Anna Malaika Tubbs returns with Tribe Midwifery founder Debbie Allen to expose the devastating origins of American obstetrics, which still endanger and marginalize women of color today, and call for a cultural and systemic shift in humanizing maternity care. Anna and Tabria share how they chose to give birth at home with midwives in order to feel safe, heard, informed, supported and respected, and Debbie clears up common misconceptions about what midwifery care really provides, including supporting families every step of the way. Anna reveals the topic of her upcoming book (!) and unpacks how many systems in our country were designed to marginalize and disempower the BIPOC community, women, and families - and how to do something about it.  Bobbie For Change + The Breastie’s petition for insurance coverage of infant formula or donor milk for new parents impacted by breast and gynecologic cancer treatment:  https://www.hibobbie.com/pages/bobbie-for-change?_ab=0&_fd=0&_sc=1 Follow Bobbie on IG for all Milk Drunk Podcast updates: @Bobbie   Learn more about Bobbie organic baby formula: https://www.hibobbie.com   And for more real talk about parenthood (and babyhood!), head to Milk Drunk: https://milk-drunk.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of Milk Drunk, Tabria sits down with her boyfriend Tre Hale (and their daughter) to discuss their first year of parenthood and the importance of teamwork. We hear about their daughter’s birth from Tre’s perspective and his role as a loving partner to Tabria during their home delivery. Tabria and Tre share numerous stories about co-parenting and the division of labor in the home while detailing ways in which dads can be supportive and step into a larger role to alleviate pressure put on moms by combo feeding, creating sleep schedules, and more.

Paid family leave isn’t a just “mom” issue - it’s a parental issue that affects every family’s well-being. In this special live-recorded episode from Milk Drunk’s season 2 launch party, Tabria sits down with fashion icon Tan France and Bobbie’s Director of Marketing, Cat Canada, for an unfiltered discussion on paid family leave. Neither Tan nor Tabria had paid family leave after becoming parents (like many Americans), which took a serious toll on their mental health and made them feel abandoned by society, but also inspired their activism. Cat gives us the scoop on what Bobbie is doing to help pass a national paid family leave policy for all families and after teaching Tabria a TikTok parenting hack, Tan rallies male and non-birthing parents to be allies in the paid family leave fight.
