Now, she uses her experience inside the delivery room to help parents feel informed, empowered, and a little less terrified about birth and postpartum life.Tina explains why birth trauma isn’t always connected to a major medical emergency. Sometimes, it comes from feeling left out of decisions, unheard, or like birth happened to you instead of with you.Samantha and Tina also dig into the misinformation expecting parents encounter online—from vitamin K to gestational diabetes testing—and why your social media feed shouldn’t replace conversations with a trusted healthcare provider.Then there’s postpartum.Tina believes parents should prepare for postpartum just as much—if not more—than they prepare for birth. They talk honestly about breastfeeding struggles, accepting help, mesh underwear, peri bottles, sore nipples, hospital bags, sleepless nights, and why motherhood rarely looks like the curated version we see online.And because this is The Running Wine Mom, there are plenty of laughs along the way.In This Episode:<ul><li>Why Tina left emergency nursing for labor and delivery</li><li>How humor can help during stressful medical experiences</li><li>Why rigid birth plans can sometimes contribute to disappointment or trauma</li><li>The connection between communication and birth trauma</li><li>How to advocate for yourself during labor and delivery</li><li>Why your birth support person matters</li><li>Pregnancy misinformation on social media</li><li>Vitamin K and gestational diabetes testing misinformation</li><li>The realities of an overwhelmed maternity healthcare system</li><li>Why postpartum deserves as much preparation as childbirth</li><li>How to actually help a new mom</li><li>Why breastfeeding being “natural” doesn’t mean it’s easy</li><li>The breastfeeding expectations that leave new moms feeling defeated</li><li>Why we need to talk about the messy physical realities of postpartum recovery</li><li>Tina’s must-have hospital bag item</li><li>What your perineum deserves after childbirth</li><li>The one book Tina recommends to expecting parents</li><li>And yes… what really happens to your body during labor</li></ul>One of the Biggest TakeawaysYou don’t need to control every detail of your birth to feel empowered by it.Information matters. Communication matters. Having people around you who understand your wishes matters.And when postpartum arrives? Let people help you.If someone asks what coffee you want, give them the order.

DJ Raphi opens up about loss, motivation, discipline, and why movement helps kids (and adults) release anxiety and reconnect with joy.If you’re a parent, educator, or caregiver looking for meaningful screen-friendly content — or someone who believes play is a powerful emotional tool — this episode is for you.In This Episode, We Cover:<ul><li>DJ Raphi’s journey from South Africa to Israel to global stages</li><li>How dance and movement act as a universal language</li><li>Why kids absorb joy and learning differently than adults</li><li>The role of music and movement in kids’ emotional regulation</li><li>Parenting twins while building a global brand</li><li>Preparing physically and mentally for a live tour</li><li>Grief, resilience, and honoring his mother’s legacy</li><li>Misconceptions about being a content creator for kids</li><li>Why creative play isn’t extra — it’s essential</li></ul>Links &amp; Resources:<ul><li>DJ Raphi Official Website: <a href="https://djraphi.com?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://djraphi.com</a></li><li>DJ Raphi Tour Dates (including Philadelphia): <a href="https://djraphi.com/tour" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://djraphi.com/tour</a></li><li>DJ Raphi on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DJRaphi</li><li>DJ Raphi on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6n9tX2DJRaphi</li><li>Follow Samantha: https://www.instagram.com/therunningwinemom_</li></ul>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">4703cac0-42eb-4b5a-81fe-35238b182e5a</guid><pubDate>Tue, 03 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/69759148/fa53b522.mp3" length="36513310" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Samantha Cieslinski</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>In this episode of The Running Wine Mom, Samantha Cieslinski sits down with DJ Raphi (Raphael Nathan), a global kids DJ, performer, and content creator whose music and movement-based videos have reached millions of families worldwide.DJ Raphi shares...</itunes:subtitle><itunes:summary><![CDATA[In this episode of The Running Wine Mom, Samantha Cieslinski sits down with DJ Raphi (Raphael Nathan), a global kids DJ, performer, and content creator whose music and movement-based videos have reached millions of families worldwide.DJ Raphi shares his powerful journey from Johannesburg to Jerusalem — and now to stages across the U.S. — including his 2026 U.S. Tour with an upcoming Philadelphia stop.

In this episode of The Running Wine Mom, host Samantha Cieslinski sits down with the powerhouse behind ArcheoRunning—Isabella Calidonna.Isabella is an archaeologist, certified tour guide, and running coach who leads unique early-morning running tours through the Eternal City.

DR. ELLEN LANGER on The Mind-Body Connection, Labels, and Living More Consciously</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/mind-over-medicine-dr-ellen-langer-on-the-mind-body-connection-labels-and-living-more-consciously--66167958</link><description><![CDATA[<br />In this thought-provoking episode, host Samantha Cieslinski talks with Dr. Ellen Langer, Harvard psychologist and pioneer of mindfulness research, about the ideas behind her newest book, The Mindful Body.Dr. Langer redefines mindfulness as the simple act of noticing. She explains how our thoughts, beliefs, and even the language we use can directly impact our physical health. The conversation explores how imagination can influence biology, how labels like “prediabetic” affect outcomes, and how choice and control can reduce stress in measurable ways.Samantha and Dr. Langer also discuss the pressure to make the “right” decisions, especially in motherhood, and how questioning rigid rules can open the door to more freedom. They unpack why uncertainty can be a strength, how behavior always makes sense in context, and what it means to live more fully in the present.Whether you’re a parent, a health skeptic, or someone trying to live with more clarity, this episode offers real insight into how awareness can shift the way you move through the world.Connect with Dr. Ellen LangerWebsite: <a href="https://www.ellenlanger.me/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ellenlanger.me</a><br /> Books: <a href="https://www.ellenlanger.me/home#book-s" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Mindful Body and more</a><br /> Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ellenjlanger/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@ellenjlanger</a>Connect with Samantha / The Running Wine MomWebsite: <a href="https://www.therunningwinemom.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">therunningwinemom.com</a><br /> Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/therunningwinemom_/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@therunningwinemom_</a>If you enjoyed this episode, follow the podcast, leave a review, and share it with someone who could use a fresh way of thinking about health, parenting, or presence.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">729c26c9-0286-4ce4-90a8-06a40bc6caa9</guid><pubDate>Tue, 20 May 2025 10:25:52 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/66167958/d20bcff8.mp3" length="54822036" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Samantha Cieslinski</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>

She shares how this phase impacts identity, mom guilt, societal expectations, and the pressure to define success in one clear way.We also dive into her personal experience with miscarriage, why she chooses to be vocal about it, and the importance of community, support systems, and honest conversations in motherhood. If you've ever felt stuck between two worlds, this episode is for you.Key Takeaways:✔️ Motherhood doesn’t fit into one label—career paths evolve, and that’s okay.<br /> ✔️ Mom guilt exists on both sides, whether you work full-time, stay home, or are figuring things out.<br /> ✔️ Support systems matter—outsourcing help isn’t a failure, it’s a tool for balance.<br /> ✔️ Talking about miscarriage helps break the silence and create space for healing.<br /> ✔️ Social media &amp; motherhood—navigating boundaries while staying authentic.<br /> ✔️ You don’t have to choose one role forever—career transitions are valid and necessary.🎧 Tune in now for an honest, real, and relatable conversation on motherhood, career shifts, and embracing the in-between!<br /><br />Follow Lia Higgins:📍 Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/onelitmama_/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@onelitmama_</a><br /> 📍 TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@onelitmama_?is_from_webapp=1&amp;sender_device=pc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@onelitmama_</a><br /> 📍 Substack: <a href="https://liamichellehiggins.substack.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lia Michelle Higgins</a>Follow Me!📍 Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/therunningwinemom_/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@therunningwinemom_</a>👉 Loved this episode?

He explains that there are four stages of development: infancy (0-2 years), early childhood (2-6 years), middle childhood (6-12 years), and adolescence (12-18 years). Each stage has a developmental task that the child must master, and if they don't, it can lead to issues later in life. Factors such as attachment, trauma, and adverse childhood experiences can shape a child's psyche and impact their relationships and mental health as adults. Trauma shapes the biology of the developing brain, leading to changes in brain activity and blood flow. The impact of trauma on the brain can be addressed through various therapies, supplements, and lifestyle changes. Genetics play a significant role in mental health conditions, with conditions like ADHD and autism having a high heritability. The three pillars of brain health are sleep, exercise, and nutrition. Social media can have negative effects on the developing brain, leading to higher rates of anxiety, depression, and ADHD. However, social media can also be a platform for connection and spreading awareness about mental health. It is important to set limits on social media use and ensure that the content is interactive and educational. Play is crucial for the psychological development of children, promoting problem-solving, creativity, social skills, emotional regulation, and confidence. Parents should be aware of the signs of mental health struggles in their children and foster open communication.<br /><a href="https://www.amenclinics.com/team/steven-storage-md/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Amen Clinic</a><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/drstevenstorage/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@drstevenstorage<br /></a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/therunningwinemom_/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@therunningwinemom_</a><br />]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">932a3dec-d974-4254-b046-541ec171c4f2</guid><pubDate>Tue, 10 Sep 2024 08:00:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/65115719/98d87e4b.mp3" length="77618473" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Samantha Cieslinski</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Dr. Stephen Storage, a child psychiatrist, discusses the key stages of child psychological development and the impact of family dynamics and early childhood experiences on a child's mental health.

She discusses the challenges and rewards of running a business, including the increasing costs and the decline of small businesses. Kimberly also talks about the expansion of L'Ange's product line and the excitement surrounding it. She emphasizes the importance of resilience and maintaining a fitness routine for mental and physical health. Kimberly shares her parenting style, which her kids describe as laissez-faire, and offers advice to other parents to trust themselves and their love for their children. Finally, she discusses the inspiration behind starting L'Ange. L'Ange was started by Kimberly's cousins in 2016, but she took over during the pandemic. The initial mission was to bring back traditional muslin fabric for baby products. L'Ange uses a medical-grade packaging that is waterproof and airtight to ensure the products remain clean and free from contaminants. The towels are made with a puffer weave technique, which prevents snagging and creates a more comfortable user experience. Kimberly selects the materials for the products through multiple levels of inspection. She incorporates customer feedback into product development and constantly strives to improve each batch. The most rewarding part of running the business is seeing customers continue to use and enjoy the products. L'Ange plans to expand its product line, including a hooded poncho towel and apparel made from muslin fabric.

The 1KD program aims to predict language development in infants and emphasizes the importance of the first 1000 days of life in shaping a child's future. Liat shares her personal experience as a mother of two teenage boys and discusses the challenges and joys of parenthood. She also highlights the need for children to have opportunities for play and joy in their lives. The project aims to study language development in the first 1000 days of a child's life. The researchers recruited 15 families and installed cameras in their living areas to capture the child's environment. The data collected includes video and audio recordings, which are analyzed to understand how language develops. The first three years of life are crucial for development, and studying this period can provide insights into learning and communication. The project faces challenges in analyzing the large amount of data and detecting the child's location within the house. The families involved have unique characteristics, but all contribute to the understanding of language development. The 1KD research project captures the diversity and richness of child development in 15 families. The families are diverse in terms of race, language, and family structure. The project aims to capture the messy and dynamic nature of development, moving away from simplistic models. The researchers are interested in fine-grained details, such as crying behavior and parenting styles.

She discusses the nutritional benefits of freeze-dried breast milk and the convenience it offers to breastfeeding mothers. Tirza also talks about the challenges of parenthood, the importance of self-care, and the value of setting boundaries for children. She emphasizes the need for parents to stay true to themselves and find something that brings them joy and fulfillment. Milk by Mom is a company that offers breast milk freeze drying as a storage method for breastfeeding mothers. The process involves freeze drying the breast milk using low heat, which preserves the nutrients and antibodies. The freeze-dried breast milk is then turned into a powder form that can be reconstituted with water. Some common misconceptions about freeze-dried breast milk include confusing it with dehydration and thinking that there is not enough evidence to support its use. Milk by Mom ensures the safety and quality of the freeze drying process through stringent protocols and compliance with FDA guidelines. The nutritional benefits of freeze-dried breast milk include preserving the nutrients and antibodies without the decline in nutrition that occurs with freezing. Milk by Mom sets itself apart from other storage solutions by having a facility exclusively dedicated to processing breast milk and a commitment to supporting and educating mothers. They aim to grow their business and make freeze-dried breast milk more widely available, especially in NICUs. They also hope to overcome challenges such as the cost of shipping. Feedback from healthcare professionals has been mostly positive, with some skepticism that can be addressed through providing clinical evidence.

She discusses the nutritional benefits of freeze-dried breast milk and the convenience it offers to breastfeeding mothers. Tirza also talks about the challenges of parenthood, the importance of self-care, and the value of setting boundaries for children. She emphasizes the need for parents to stay true to themselves and find something that brings them joy and fulfillment. Milk by Mom is a company that offers breast milk freeze drying as a storage method for breastfeeding mothers. The process involves freeze drying the breast milk using low heat, which preserves the nutrients and antibodies. The freeze-dried breast milk is then turned into a powder form that can be reconstituted with water. Some common misconceptions about freeze-dried breast milk include confusing it with dehydration and thinking that there is not enough evidence to support its use. Milk by Mom ensures the safety and quality of the freeze drying process through stringent protocols and compliance with FDA guidelines. The nutritional benefits of freeze-dried breast milk include preserving the nutrients and antibodies without the decline in nutrition that occurs with freezing. Milk by Mom sets itself apart from other storage solutions by having a facility exclusively dedicated to processing breast milk and a commitment to supporting and educating mothers. They aim to grow their business and make freeze-dried breast milk more widely available, especially in NICUs. They also hope to overcome challenges such as the cost of shipping. Feedback from healthcare professionals has been mostly positive, with some skepticism that can be addressed through providing clinical evidence.

They discuss the findings of a Consumer Reports investigation on Lunchables and the implications for consumers. The investigation revealed concerning levels of heavy metals, phthalates, and sodium in Lunchables and similar products, raising questions about their safety and nutritional value, especially for children. Brian shares his advocacy initiatives to promote a safer and healthier food system, including addressing immediate and long-term threats to food safety. He also discusses the role of emerging technologies in shaping the future of food safety and regulation. The most pressing issue facing the food industry today is staying on top of emerging threats.

It highlights the health risks associated with these contaminants, such as high blood pressure and cardiovascular problems.

They discuss various topics related to food safety, including the importance of food safety for children, Dr. Rogers' personal and professional journey, staying active and motivated, parenting and communication, and the challenges faced in ensuring food safety. Dr. Rogers emphasizes the need for open communication with children and the importance of seeking help when needed. He also highlights the challenges of funding food safety testing and the dynamic nature of the food industry. In this part of the conversation, James Rogers discusses the testing and evaluation process at Consumer Reports, highlighting the organization's focus on risk-based testing and the selection process for products. He also explains the role of the National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods in ensuring food safety from farm to table. Rogers emphasizes the importance of balancing consumer education without causing unnecessary panic and dispelling common misconceptions about food safety. Lastly, he discusses Consumer Reports' motivation for testing chocolate products for heavy metals and the response from the industry and consumers. In this conversation, Dr. James Rogers discusses the testing of chocolate for heavy metals, specifically cadmium and lead. The testing revealed that one-third of the chocolate products tested had worrisome levels of these heavy metals. Milk chocolate generally had lower levels compared to dark chocolate. The contamination of heavy metals in chocolate is associated with the cacao levels and the source of the chocolate beans. Dr. Rogers emphasizes the importance of moderation and informed choices when consuming chocolate, especially for children. He also mentions other food safety topics, such as plastics in food and heavy metals in spices.<a href="https://www.instagram.com/consumerreports/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Consumer Reports</a> -Instagram<br /><a href="https://clicklinkin.bio/consumerreports" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Consumer Reports</a> - Website<br /><a href="https://www.consumerreports.org/health/food-safety/a-third-of-chocolate-products-are-high-in-heavy-metals-a4844566398/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">A Third of Chocolate Products Are High in Heavy Metals, CR's Tests Find</a><a href="https://iwaspoisoned.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">iwaspoisoned.com</a><br /><a href="https://www.fsis.usda.gov/contact-us/askfsis" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">askFSIS</a><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/therunningwinemom_/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Running Wine Mom</a> - Instagram]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">b7ae0d80-fdfc-44cc-9eae-c95826d27f61</guid><pubDate>Tue, 19 Mar 2024 11:00:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/65115724/e75ab031.mp3" length="86073606" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Samantha Cieslinski</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>In this episode, Samantha Cieslinski interviews Dr. James Rogers, the Director of Food Safety Research and Testing at Consumer Reports.
