Working Moms & Postpartum Balance in Healthcare with Cherie Turner of Mommy Scrubs

Welcome to Navigating Postpartum Wellness — the podcast created for moms who feel like they’re doing it all but still wonder if they’re doing enough.

This show is your reminder that your wellness matters too. Hosted by Jaree Williams, a writer, speaker, and homeschooling mom of two, every episode offers honest reflections, practical wellness strategies, and faith-rooted encouragement for the mother who’s tired of the hustle and ready to align with peace, presence, and purpose.

We talk about the parts of motherhood people don’t post about — the hard moments, the identity shifts, the guilt, the healing, and the wins worth celebrating.

Whether you’re folding laundry, hiding in the bathroom for a break, or driving in silence after drop-off, this space is for you. You’re not too much. You’re just set apart.

Podcast episode summary

Being a mom in healthcare is demanding—long shifts, unpredictable hours, and the pressure of caring for others while navigating postpartum recovery. Add breastfeeding or pumping into the mix, and balance can feel nearly impossible.

In this episode of Navigating Postpartum Wellness, I sit down with Cherie Turner, founder of Mommy Scrubs (https://mommyscrubs.com), to talk about how her own postpartum journey inspired her to design scrubs that help moms in the medical field pump and breastfeed with dignity and ease.

We talk about:

• How postpartum inspired Cherie to launch Mommy Scrubs

• The realities of balancing career, pumping, and family life as a healthcare mom

• Why self-care and intentional rhythms matter in high-stress careers

• Encouragement for moms who feel stretched thin between work and motherhood

This face-to-face conversation is full of insight, honesty, and practical wisdom for every mom working to balance wellness, career, and family.
