14. Amanda Laskowski on Miscarriage During Motherhood and Entrepreneurship as a Group Facilitator at Cincy Postpartum

The Secondary Infertility Podcast

Amanda Laskowski wears many hats—mom, to two tiny humans, partner, educator, entrepreneur, and your go-to postpartum pal. She’s currently in version 3.0 of her career… it’s okay to not know what you want to be when you grow up, even in your late 30s! She’s along for the ride and happily shifting with life’s seasons.

Amanda spent her first dozen professional years on University campuses, teaching and mentoring college students as they navigated the many decisions and transitions of early adulthood. Entering her thirties, she then pursued licensure as a real estate agent and began selling houses while continuing full-time work in higher education and prepping for the birth of her first daughter. She always had an entrepreneurial drive, and real estate was her first dip into exploring the world of business ownership.

After her own experience welcoming babies into the world, and with utter shock at how little postpartum support existed for families, Amanda felt called to take her skillset in yet another direction, In 2022, after completing training with CAPPA (Childbirth & Postpartum Professional Association) as a Postpartum Doula and Lactation Educator, Amanda founded Cincy Postpartum.

Under the Cincy Postpartum brand, Amanda has brought to life her signature 4th Trimester Postpartum Circles, which are now facilitated across 5 neighborhoods of Cincinnati, OH. These Postpartum Circles (TM) bring together 6-9 moms and their babies for a comprehensive, in person, cohort-based series in the first 12 weeks or baby’s life. What makes these circles extra special is that babies are just days or weeks apart in age, and many cohorts have continued to meet up well beyond the formal five week series, celebrating 1st birthdays together and all the sweet milestones along the way.

In 19 months, Amanda has facilitated over 50 cohorts, building a community of over 400 alumni. Amanda is dreaming of bringing this service to additional cities in the coming years.
