Episode 233 | NorthernStar Mothers Milk Bank, Jannette Festival | 20 January 2021

Jannette Festival and her team at NorthernStar have created a real community in Calgary, in Alberta and across Canada comprised of hospital and healthcare workers, mothers and infants that benefit from breast milk that otherwise would not have been readily available had she not taken the decision to pivot from her career in oil and gas.

The serendipity of her decision to get a nursing degree led Jannette to work at the Foothills Hospital which lead her to visit a milk bank facility in Austin, Texas to finding mothers to donate their milk. There are a few other stages in between that Jannette shared during our chat.
