Support AND/BOTH: Help us offset production costs while we're growing

In this episode, Ashley is joined by Suzie Driscoll, a pediatric occupational therapist and founder of Tiny and Mighty Therapy, specializing in infant feeding. Together, they reflect on becoming first-time moms during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic and how those experiences shaped their parenting, careers, and personal growth.

Suzie shares her journey from working at Seattle Children’s Hospital to launching her own private practice, motivated by the challenges she faced with feeding her newborn during lockdown. With deep empathy and clinical expertise, she now supports families through feeding difficulties and offers strategies rooted in prevention and early intervention.

What you’ll learn:

  • The emotional and logistical realities of becoming a mom during the pandemic
  • What pediatric feeding therapy looks like, especially for infants
  • How Susie’s own feeding challenges as a new mom inspired her to help other families
  • The importance of addressing feeding issues early—and how therapy before and after tongue-tie procedures can support better outcomes
  • What it’s like to run a solo private practice while navigating motherhood, loss, and another pregnancy

This episode is a powerful reminder that you’re not alone in your motherhood journey—and that support, compassion, and clinical expertise can make a world of difference.
