When She Pivots
You have the degree(s), the career, and maybe the family, but is something missing? Have you been ticking all the boxes but find yourself asking, “Now what” or “What’s next”? Do you wish you had a community to support you in figuring out how to take things to the next level (or figure out what the next level is)?
Welcome to When She Pivots! We’re two mamas navigating professional, personal, and perspective shifts hoping to give ourselves and others the permission to think and dream bigger. With Cassie’s experience as a lawyer currently in the non-profit space, and Lauren’s as a former teacher turned entrepreneur, we hope to create a space where women can authentically share and learn from others who are even just one step ahead - working to normalize this kind of self-exploration with curiosity and openness instead of fear and judgment.
What if it’s actually possible to build your truest most beautiful life AND still show up fully for ourselves and those we love?

The Pivot She Never Planned: Motherhood, Stigma & Building a Business with Samantha Davis
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of When She Pivots, we sit down with Samantha Davis — CEO of NuHealth Placenta — to talk about the pivot she never expected: motherhood.
For Samantha, children weren’t part of the original plan. Neither was building a business in maternal health. But as so often happens in life, one chapter reshaped the next.
What began as personal curiosity during her own postpartum experience became something bigger — a commitment to education, transparency, and informed choice in a space many people still whisper about.
We talk about:
- The identity shift that comes with becoming a mother
- Why postpartum is wildly underestimated and under-discussed
- What placenta encapsulation actually involves — and why education matters
- Building and leading a business in a stigmatized industry
- The power of normalizing conversations around women’s bodies
This conversation is about agency and about expanding what we consider worthy of open discussion. Because pregnancy gets the celebration. Birth gets the classes and the intention. But postpartum is often lost in the excitement of a new baby.
If this episode resonates, share it with someone navigating pregnancy, new motherhood, or entrepreneurship — or someone who simply believes women deserve better information and care.
✨ After this conversation, we were so aligned with Samantha’s mission that we joined NuHealth Placenta’s affiliate program. If you’re interested in learning more about their services, you can find our affiliate link here.
