A Space for Sōl

Today we're doing something a little different and spotlighting a podcast we were a guest on! Tune in to this episode with Sara Bacon, the host of Hi Friend where we chat about why the "grass is greener" game is pointless and why the phrase "just you wait" helps no one. It was a blast being on her podcast and can't wait for our next girl chat! 

This week's episode is going to be a special one. We're sitting down with a big time investigative news producer and she's sharing how she leaves her work at the door to be present with her family. Being in an intense job like hers or the medical field, traveling, law enforcement or healing practices you see and feel things that are different than normal work “fire drills”. It's heavy! How do you avoid bringing that home? 

You gotta have faith faith aaaa faith... BABY! George Micheal knew what was up. Life tests you, it's challenging and it's so beautiful. We are big believers in needing to have faith to get through these phases of life. Today on the podcast we're talking about the moments we had to believe it would work out, why faith and spirituality help us through and our practices around trusting in the process. 

YOU GUYS, we’re featured as guests on another podcast and can’t wait to share the episode with you! We  hopped on with Kanika Chadda Gupta, the host of That’s Total Momsense,  to  talk all things mompreneurship and how we find our rhythm in this chaotic world that we created.. #thejuggleisreal

Plus this Friday, Kanika will share her top 5 tips on parenting twins, plus one all under 2 years old on the blog. We can’t even imagine! For years Kanika prided herself on having mastered the art of work-life balance, dedicating time to her career, husband, friends, dance, working out, and cooking… until she became a mom of twins and had a newborn a year later, that is. #holyhandsfull Her priorities changed and her world went through a paradigm shift.

This week is chock full of tips to juggle work, life and your growing family. Have some secrets of your own to managing it all? We would love to hear more from you!  Head to our latest Insta post and drop some knowledge bombs on the Sōlspace community.

Answer…BIG FAT FALSE! Anyone who tells you it isn’t, then #byefelicia. Seriously. We’re passionate about this one and are chatting about it on the podcast today.

Here’s the thing, it won't be "work" like doing a day job you hate feels like but BELIEVE US it is work! It will be hard. It will be tiring, invigorating and so many things all in one. It will be worth it. 

If you don’t agree with us that’s ok, but we’re pretty sold on this one as we’re pulling late nights, early mornings, weekend work to balance chasing our dreams to fulfill our personal passions with Sōlspace all while working our day jobs and being present mothers. It’s a sacrifice and fulfilling at the same time.

It was time to bring in a professional to hash out how we’re going to survive our future. Today, we’re getting the download about going from 1-2 kids from one of our favorite therapists, Sahar Martinez LMFT. She shares her experience on going from 1-2 and how she coaches her clients through this transition.

If you follow us on Instagram you’ve seen we’re asking A LOT of questions as we get closer to expanding our little crew. You also may recognize Sahar from our last Feed Your Sōl event! She rocked the communication workshop session and we’re so happy to have her back for you guys!

Tune in and pray for us… we’re entering the crazy zone!

Where did you go? This is a question Mom’s tend to ask themselves after being thrusted into motherhood. Where did I go? Who am I now? What has happened to my life? It sounds dramatic until you’re in the vortex of becoming a parent and quickly realized your life has changed forever. 

It took both of us a while to process our new normal with baby #1 and now we don’t know any other way of life - but it took work to find our rhythm. Maybe rhythm is the new “balance” because once we found that we felt a little like ourselves again. Today on the podcast we’re chatting about preserving your identity through the transition of motherhood. 

Becoming a parent doesn’t mean you have to completely change and abandon your past. It doesn’t mean you can’t still be that fun, happy, sexy girl who loves to dance while spilling her cocktail AND an incredible mother who is passionate about her significant other and family life. 

It’s about finding those pieces you want to take from your pre-parenthood life and figuring out how to weave those into your new chapter. Maybe it’s dance parties with your kiddo(s), maybe it’s making sure you have one solo night with the girls a month to do you. Maybe it’s scheduling in date night and creating at home dates to have 1:1 time with your significant other. 

Whatever it is we feel you and know finding your rhythm is important. If you haven’t already make a goal to sit down this week and decide what you need, then communicate it ti to those who support you so they can help and keep you accountable. 

No more Mama comes last for you!
