  • 42. Rhowena Adolfo Patel of Healing Mama Co.
    Apr 12 2021

    I'm excited to share this episode with Rhowena Adolfo Patel. She  is the CEO and Founder of Healing Mama Co. which was born out of her experience as a first-time mom. She has backpacked through 58 countries, and 7 of those were with her 8-month old baby! Entrepreneurship is literally in her blood. Born to immigrant parents that started business after business, not always successfully, but definitely planting the seeds since her childhood. She was an award-winning Financial Planner, she's spoken in Canada and internationally about the art of money and planning, she's literally worn different crowns, as a pageant winner, to running a bed and breakfast, and now she and Healing Mama Co. are on a movement to raise the standard of care for birthing people and partners during childbirth and postpartum.

    She is dedicated to helping and supporting women and their partners through pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period.

    I am now also affiliated with her Healing Mama Co. as a resource for new mothers and their partners, either with help with educating women and men on postpartum or through pregnancy loss.

  • 41. Maternal Mental Health NOW Task Force Executive Director, Kelly O'Connor Kay
    Aug 27 2020

    Kelly O'Connor Kay, Executive Director, oversees the programmatic, fundraising and marketing operations of Maternal Mental Health NOW. Her goal is to ensure that all of Los Angeles County’s new families have the resources they need to address maternal mental health disorders so that women and their families can grow and thrive. In Los Angeles County, 25% of birthing people reported a depressed mood during pregnancy and/or the postpartum period. Moreover, rates are highest amongst Black women and Medical patients. And, across the state of California a staggering 72% of people with perinatal depression or anxiety have never received counseling or treatment.

    Kelly previously served as Maternal Mental Health NOW’s Development Director for 7 years. Before joining Maternal Mental Health NOW’s team (which coincidentally corresponded with her own transition to motherhood), Kelly worked for a number of nonprofit organizations in the human services and environmental fields in the US and the UK as a freelance fundraising consultant and staff member. Kelly is a graduate of Northwestern University, having received a BS in Communication Studies & Sociology. She also holds a MS in Elementary Education form Brooklyn College, part of the City University of New York.

    Kelly discusses the important work of the Maternal Mental Health Now Task Force (previously known as the Los Angeles County Perinatal Mental Health Task Force started in 2007). The Maternal Mental Health NOW Task Force plays a key role in helping to reduce the stigma and shame around maternal mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety and sometimes psychosis, during pregnancy and after pregnancy. Additionally, the MMHN Task Force advocates and supports many different organizations and hospitals for women in Los Angeles County.
