From years of an unexplained infertility diagnosis, to IUI, IVF and now two healthy, beautiful children. It’s an open, honest, and vulnerable conversation that we all could benefit from hearing!

Today's episode of the Healthy Balanced Birth and Beyond Podcast is a solo episode with me! I’m chatting about the importance of advocating for yourself and your health.

On this week's episode of the Healthy Balanced Birth and Beyond podcast, I'm chatting with Hollyn of Adelynn Mae Sleep. Hollyn shares a bit about her own motherhood journey, how it led her to her work as a sleep and well being specialist, and the reasons why she does not support or encourage sleep training. This is an open and honest conversation between two like minded mamas. Check it out and let us know what you think!

This week I have Benita back with us again! When we were talking last week, our conversation was so free flowing and incredible that we decided to record another episode for you all. On this week's episode we're chatting about the importance of tuning into and paying attention to your child's specific needs. It is crucial to be mindful of this when trying to figure out the educational path that is best for them. We discuss the many different educational options to consider that you may not even know exist! I learned so much while talking to Benita.

We wrap up this week's episode by chatting about ways to include your children in the work you do on a daily basis. Again, another topic that we don't hear much about in our society. Our children learn by example, why not include them in what you're doing if they express an interest in it?

On this week's episode of the Healthy Balanced Birth and Beyond Podcast, I'm chatting with Benita Conde. We open up a conversation about the importance of tapping into your maternal instincts, following your child's cues, and creating a life that you truly love. We discuss how as parents our job and the energy we carry with us can positively or negatively impact our children.

When our children see us creating and building a life that we love, they realize that they have choices too. We dive even deeper and talk about the pressures that society puts on both parents and children. Pressure that we "should" be going to school for something because our parents wanted us to, or that we "should" be parenting a certain way because our parents did. When your child(ren) see you being your authentic self, this allows them to do the same thing in their own life. This is a beautiful conversation with Benita. She opens your eyes to new possibilities within the work and parenting space.

On this week's episode of the Healthy Balanced Birth and Beyond Podcast, I'm chatting with my brilliant friend Julie Brill.

This week on The Healthy Balanced Birth and Beyond Podcast, I'm chatting with Gaby Israel Grinberg. When I first received an email from Gaby, I knew that her story was one that needed to be shared. Not only is it an emotional one, but it's an incredibly inspiring one as well. So much so, that we could not fit it into just one episode, so we broke it up into two parts. On today's episode, Gaby begins to share her own personal experience with us. She shares her journey to conceive and bits and pieces of her pregnancy, which ultimately lead to the early and unexpected arrival of her daughter, Lana. Lana is the second smallest micro-premies who was born and survived, weighing 11 oz. This episode takes you on quite the emotional roller coaster!

This week I'm reflecting back on my first year as a Mom. I'm sharing my own personal experience with pregnancy, a bit about my birth, and my postpartum experience. This is an open, honest, and vulnerable episode, that is what this podcast is all about - talking about the hard and messy times, but also sharing the beautiful moments I'm incredibly grateful for.
