Katherine Schwarzenegger dedicated her latest podcast episode to one of new motherhood’s more quietly challenging topics: breastfeeding and pumping.
The guest is Tamari Jacob, a Certified Lactation Counselor and the creator of One with the Pump, a resource built around breastfeeding and lactation education. Tamari brings both professional training and personal experience to the topic. On Katherine’s podcast, she covers a lot of ground. The episode touches on pumping mechanics, sore nipples, and milk supply concerns. Common misconceptions and how to choose the right pump also come up. She walks through the questions new mothers most often ask at the start of a breastfeeding or pumping journey and offers practical guidance for the harder stretches.
Katherine promoted the episode on Instagram, calling breastfeeding and pumping “the wild west of motherhood.” She credited Tamari with bringing “info, support, and much-needed humor and good energy to the topic.”
At the heart of the conversation is something Tamari learned from her own experience: breastfeeding isn’t one size fits all. That’s a message new mothers don’t always hear soon enough. The pressure to produce enough milk, to get the latch right from the first try, to choose the correct pump from a crowded market – it can pile on fast. Tamari’s approach is to meet mothers wherever they are on the journey, rather than push one universal method.
Breastfeeding support isn’t always easy to find in a clear, compassionate form. Clinical resources can feel impersonal. Online forums can feel overwhelming. Having a certified expert walk through real concerns in a warm, conversational setting fills a genuine need. That’s the spirit behind One with the Pump, and the podcast episode brings it to a broader audience.
Katherine’s public work has long centered on lifestyle, wellness, and the honest realities of motherhood. She’s an author and podcast host who has built her platform around those themes. That personal focus gives episodes like this one a genuine warmth. She’s asking the questions a real mother would actually want answered.
Tamari also brings her own experience to the table. Her breastfeeding journey taught her that there’s no one right way, and that understanding shapes the kind of guidance she provides. The concern might be pain, supply issues, or simply not knowing where to start. Either way, her message is consistent: help is available, and asking for it is a smart move.

For new mothers navigating the breastfeeding learning curve, this episode sounds like a warm, practical resource. Tamari’s expertise and Katherine’s thoughtful hosting make for an honest, encouraging conversation.
