Nike told Olympic medalist Alysia Montaño to dream crazy… until she wanted a baby. In 2019, the mom of three and six-time USA track champion published a viral op-ed on the systemic barriers facing mothers in sports.

Today, Alysia joins the pod to chat with host Anjelika Temple and head of Bobbie for Change, Michele Lampach, about her mission and partnership with Bobbie to build a better future for mothers in sports.

Breast milk or formula? For 70% of parents, the answer is both. And yet, open conversations on “combo feeding” are still hard to find. Enter, Milk Drunk.

Then, host Anjelika Temple and Bobbie’s VP Innovation, Sara Holman, find their own combo feeding journeys reflected in real letters from Bobbie parents.

We all have those moments where we feel like we’ve got parenting all wrong, and we’re constantly bombarded with messages about what’s “best.” Well, here’s a not-so-secret secret: There’s no best way to parent. And today’s episode has the stories and data to back it up. First up, Grammy-winning artist Meghan Trainor talks about how her desperation for a raw, real guide to the messiness of motherhood—stretch marks, bloody nipples, and all—led to her first book, Dear Future Mama. Then, economist and author Emily Oster (you may know her from her books “Expecting Better,” “Cribsheet” and “The Family Firm”) follows up to explain how crunching the numbers on parenting approaches helps us redefine what “best” really means.

The maternal health crisis is a human rights issue. It’s a systemic issue. And, most importantly, it’s an issue we can solve, together. Today’s episode features three people who are leading the way: activist and journalist Elaine Welteroth, founder of 4Kira4Moms Charles Johnson, and Kimberly Durdin, doula and co-founder of Kindred Space (the only Black-owned birthing center in L.A.). Listen to a recording of their live conversation at a recent Bobbie for Change event on Black maternal health, where they talked about humanizing this crisis through storytelling and rooting the conversation in hope. Afterwards, our host Anjelika Temple talks with Elaine about her own birth journey, why we need to change the way we talk about childbirth entirely, and how we begin.

People talk a lot about the joy of having a baby… and less about the hours-on-end crying, explosive diapers, and total exhaustion. How can parents survive the rollercoaster of year one? In this week’s episode, Anj gets real about early parenthood. She chats with entertainer and fashion designer Tan France about his toughest moments and best advice from year one.

Formula feeding isn’t a parenting failure. So why do so many parents still feel that way? In this week’s episode, host Anjelika Temple explores the stigma of formula and the ever-evolving conversation around how we feed our babies. First, she talks with Mallory Whitmore, aka The Formula Mom, about becoming the feeding expert she wishes she had as a new mom. Then, Anj talks to Bobbie co-founders, Laura Modi and Sarah Hardy, about how their difficult feeding journeys led them on a mission to support modern parents—one bottle at a time. P.S. There’s still a shortage of formula in many areas of the country. Have extra you want to donate? Our guest, Mallory (@theformulamom) suggests asking local food banks, domestic violence shelters, Baby2Baby chapters, or parent groups on Facebook. If you’re a Bobbie customer, your purchase also makes an impact: We partner with Baby2Baby to provide Bobbie to their network of 45 non-profits around the country, and provide formula to milk-insecure babies in Detroit through Brilliant Detroit.
