Birth of a Mama: a Birth and Postpartum PodcastAuthor: Natalie Welch, MS, RD
BOAM is a birth and postpartum, honest motherhood platform. Here, we come together to reveal the spectrum of truths about what it can feel and mean to become a mother through personal storytelling and expert interviews. All stories of pregnancy, birth and postpartum have at least one thing in common: matrescence. The massive life change that is becoming a mother. It's rarely discussed or acknowledged for what it is and the level of support it requires. And I'm here to change that. One raw story and wisdom-shedding conversation at a time.

48. The Truth About Early Language Delays — and the Free Help You’re Entitled To with Jeaneen Tang, M.A., CCC-SLP
Tuesday, 11 November, 2025
In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with speech-language pathologist Jeaneen Tang to talk about early language development, why so many kids end up needing speech therapy, and the simple preventative strategies you can start using today with your own infant, toddlers, and kids. Jeaneen brings over 23 years of clinical experience working with neurodiverse children and adults — and she’s also the mom of a 12-year-old son who survived a traumatic brain injury and stroke at just 13 months old. He lost the use of the right side of his body, and today he can run, climb stairs, and thrive physically, as best as possible. Her dual perspective as both clinician and parent shapes everything she teaches.We explore her new book, Play Dumb & Sabotage, a powerful guide for moms and dads, caregivers, and early-childhood educators. Jeaneen explains how intentionally “under-helping” — stepping back, waiting, and letting kids struggle just enough — encourages problem-solving, communication, and confident self-expression.CONNECT WITH JEANEENwww.playdumbandsabotage.comIG personal: @jt808IG business: @playdumbandsabotageLink for her book: Play Dumb & Sabotage: Mindfully under-anticipating the child’s needs and creating opportunities to practice languagehttps://a.co/d/8WgnAsPFREE Postpartum Planning Guide: https://nataliewelchrd.com/Episode writing, recording, and editing by Natalie WelchAudio mastering by Kevin Welch
