Today Ali sits down with a fellow mama friend and Parenting Mentor as well as Author of a great parenting book, 101 ways to Rock Your World.

Ali & Sue connected via their mutual Hey Mama tribe, and Sue shared some insight to Ali as a new mama and some parenting tricks.

Ali loved the book and how digestible she felt it was for a new mama and really any mama needing a quick pick up and encouragement in the crazy world of parenting.

Sue helps you bring joy  during the hard times as well, and helps to make things more manageable, or at least try too!

There's a certain honesty and comfort that comes from Sue's way of teaching and a no judgement zone!!

Which let's be honest, it's what all us mama's and parents need!

 Sue offers private sessions, as well as group and corporate sessions with workshops, as well for those wanting to book her!

"Every day, we face more challenges than we could ever know how to handle. So we stress. We hover. We see ourselves in our children’s every success; every failure. We ride the highs and the lows because above all, we care. But if we’re not careful, it can overtake us —the anxiety, stress, and constant desire to do the right thing.

And while we can never erase our challenges, having an ally and mentor to guide us can make all the difference." 

Tune in for this insightful and helpful episode!

Today Ali chats with model & new mama Alexis Kristiana as they talk about their breastfeeding journey the highs and lows, the lessons they've learned already in motherhood, and the judgement they've both gone through.

Today is a very real and raw conversation between two new mama's who are figuring it out as they go along on this new journey.

Alexis shares her heart and truth about her own breastfeeding issues, judgement as a new mom, learning to advocate for herself and her son, and finding support when she needs it most.

Alexis discusses her career as well and how it's blossomed even further since becoming a mama to her son.

Ali and Alexis talk about the changes in the industry and the openness for mothers to nurse, postpartum bodies and embracing them instead of trying to change them, and the inclusivity of other body types instead of exclusivity.

Perfectly imperfect!

Alexis is also launching a store and has found her entrepreneur fire since giving birth. In November she will be launching, Liquid Gold Vintage for breast feeding! Combining her love of thrifting and now passion for nursing.
