288: Well Woman Summer Reset Week Two – Deep Rest for Your Gut
Welcome to Week Two! I’m so glad you decided to join us for the FREE six-week reset where we support you to reach your potential by using the Well Woman Life® research-backed tools, routines, and practices in the community with other women.
If you haven’t already, please head over and listen to the first episode in this series: wellwomanlife.com/287show
This week, you’ll learn about deep rest (“deep rest” in italics) – resting your nervous system and your digestive system as the foundation for our reset. There are two things you can start doing right away that will help you access this deep rest. First, finish dinner and snacking by sunset. What?? you say? I invite you to approach this with curiosity and trust that your body knows what to do. Second, drink warm water first thing in the morning before your morning coffee or breakfast.
Remember, every week on the podcast during this six-week reset, I’ll be sharing a tool, routine, or practice that will support you to create the results you want for your body, mind, and spirit.

286 Making Motherhood Work with Dr. Caitlyn Collins
On the well woman show this month, I interview Dr. Caitlyn Collins, Caitlyn Collins is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Washington University in St. Louis. She studies gender inequality in the workplace and family life. Her award-winning book, Making Motherhood Work: How Women Manage Careers and Caregiving (Princeton University Press, 2019), is a cross-national interview study of 135 working mothers in Sweden, Germany, Italy, and the United States. Recently, Collins is engaged in collaborative research to probe how the COVID-19 pandemic shapes mothers’ employment. She is interviewed often in national media, and she has written for The Atlantic, The New York Times, Harvard Business Review, The Washington Post, and Slate.
Dr. Collins is a featured speaker for WFRN Conference in June. Founded in 1997, The Work and Family Researchers Network, or WFRN, is an international organization dedicated to advancing the impact of work-family scholarship on lives, practice and policy. Nearly 2500 researchers have joined the WFRN as members. The WFRN is hosting its next conference June 23-25, 2022 in New York City. Information about joining the WFRN and its upcoming conference can be found at WFRN.ORG.
The Well Woman Show is a media partner for WFRN. I’ll be interviewing several WFRN scholars leading up to the June conference. Find them at NPR.org.
On the show we’ll discuss:
Why The U.S. has the weakest social policies to support families of any western industrialized country.
How the U.S. society has long told mothers that their work-family conflict is their fault and their problem to solve.
And how we can find better solutions that meet the needs of all families in the United States, regardless of income, education, race, or marital or immigration status.
The book Dr. Collins recommended is: Parent Nation: Unlocking Every Child’s Potential, Fulfilling Society’s Promise a book by Dana Suskind and Lydia Denworth

285 Just Giovanna: Beyond Flowers and Public Statements: A Guide to Celebrating Working Moms
This week on the Well Woman Show, in honor of Mother’s Day, I challenge the idea that celebrating moms means nothing more than flowers and nice public statements. One of the greatest challenges working moms face is that we’re expected to mother like we don’t have a job and work like we don’t have children. This makes absolutely no sense, and I believe we can change this for all families in this decade.
On the show I share four steps that can help employers, elected officials, candidates as well as family members take real action to support the working moms in your lives.
