Organic Baby Food from Yummy Spoonfuls-Interview with CEO Agatha Achindu



Most mothers are unaware of the amount of chemicals and pesticides that are used to grow and produce our food supply. Agatha Achindu grew up on healthy organic food and when she became a mother, she was saddened to find a lack of healthy choices to feed her growing infant. What began out of her own frustrations, became a thriving business as more mothers became concerned about the effects of all these chemicals on their own children. Yummy Spoonfuls was birthed about three years ago and on this episode, we discuss the need for organic food and the types and varieties of baby food available through this growing metro Atlanta, GA company.

What's a doula? Interview with Teresa Worthy Howard

Teresa Worthy Howard

A doula is a Greek word meaning "servant" and in this episode, we explore what that has come to mean as more women are choosing to birth with a doula. As we interview Teresa Howard, certified doula, and certified childbirth and lactation educator, Teresa explains the role of a doula, both before, during and after birth. We talk about doula training and certification, costs and benefits of birthing with the help of a doula.
