Have you ever felt like no one understands what you REALLY went through when you were pregnant or delivered your baby? Well, I might have find a new book and a friend for you!

In this episode, I got to chat with Leslie Schrock. She is the author of the book, BUMPIN, the modern guide to pregnancy. She wrote this book while going through the pregnancy, delivery and postpartum process. She felt like there were no resources out there being real enough, so she wrote about it!

We both talk about our birth stories and the details of what really goes on when you are in labor and delivery. We also talk about all the things no one talks about like the pressure women have to do all the things, your communication during your spouse during this time, what goes down at the hospital and what a doula really does!

This is a great episode about the realities of motherhood, but Leslie is also an amazing example of a mom trying to bring MOMentum to the world by sharing her knowledge and story.

Eve Rodsky received her B.A. in economics and anthropology from the University of Michigan, and her J.D. from Harvard Law School. After working in foundation management at J.P. Morgan, she founded the Philanthropy Advisory Group to advise high-net worth families and charitable foundations on best practices for harmonious operations, governance and disposition of funds. In her work with hundreds of families over a decade, she realized that her expertise in family mediation, strategy, and organizational management could be applied to a problem closer to home – a system for couples seeking balance, efficiency, and peace in their home. Rodsky was born and raised by a single mom in New York City and now lives in Los Angeles with her husband and their three children.  

In her forthcoming book, Fair Play, she uses her Harvard Law School training and years of organizational management experience to create a life-management system to help couples both rebalance all of the work it takes to run a home and reimagine their relationship, time and purpose. 

Eve Rodsky is working to change society one marriage at a time by coming up with a new 21st century solution to an age-old problem: women shouldering the brunt of childrearing and domestic life responsibilities regardless of whether they work outside the home.
