You Don't Know What You Don't Know (And That's the Problem) with Rhowena Adolfo Patel

This episode is a little different — and such an important one.
Laura is joined by Rhowena Adolfo Patel, founder of Mama Care Coach, for a conversation that weaves together business, motherhood, postpartum realities, and what it looks like to rebuild after closing a business. While this episode includes a candid conversation about the fourth trimester and the gaps in maternal care, it’s also deeply relevant for any woman in business navigating identity shifts, reinvention, and trust after a hard season.
Rhowena shares the story behind her first business, Healing Mama Co, why she had to close it, and how that experience eventually led her to create Mama Care Coach. They also talk about the lack of practical postpartum education available to new moms, why so many women go into birth unprepared for recovery, and how Rhowena is now helping fill that gap through education that is honest, tactical, and deeply needed.
