Get Louder

Do you remember getting your ears pierced? For many of us, that memory includes some anxious moments inside a dingy mall. Our guest, Louisa Schneider, is on a mission to reimagine this coming-of-age milestone so it becomes a celebration - with safety first. Her company, Rowan, is bursting onto a national stage and taking on a giant in the industry.

Our guest today is the picture of courage. Her uplifting, funny, positive outlook as a Syrian refugee adjusting to life in America will inspire you. We admire you, Maha Karahamad, and you define what it means to Get Louder! 

When Chrissy Teigen publicly shared her pain after pregnancy loss, we all had a reaction - including us.  Did she do the “right” thing?  We weigh in… and Demetra shares her own personal story.

Hey, Moms… are your children the center of your universe? Should they be?  Today, we tackle this controversial question.  Spoiler Alert:  there is no right answer.

We’re thrilled to welcome our first guest, Layla Lisiewski, founder of the Local Mom’s Network.  She reveals the habits and personality traits that build success both in her business and in her home, as a mom of four.

Cristina opens up about her experience testing positive for COVID back in March. We discuss it all: symptoms, stigma, antibodies, and mom-shaming.  We conclude that open communication and solid boundary-setting will prove essential in how we navigate this pandemic, especially as we approach the holidays. 

If you've ever let fear or doubt creep in while chasing a dream, this episode is for you!  We wrestled with all of that uncertainty when we launched this podcast.  We fought the dreaded Imposter Syndrome, vowing to stop questioning if our credentials are “good enough” to try.  We’ll help you shed your fear of being a fake, too.  And, perhaps surprisingly, we encourage you to “think like a man,” that is, worry less about every detail and just wing it!

Many of us got a huge helping hand from our partners during quarantine!  Which of these new, precious habits will “stick” as we transition to our fall routine?  This question is especially critical for women who make most household decisions. This stress takes a toll on our health.  Perhaps the biggest factor in securing the success from Before Quarantine (BQ) to After Quarantine (AQ) is recognizing and celebrating the small victories. 

When those we love fail to meet our expectations, it's hurtful.  So how do we learn to accept the disappointment? A critical step is realizing we each have limits to our capacity for certain actions or emotions.  Simply put, sometimes our loved ones can't show up for us because of the way they are wired. Join us for specific tips and mantras to prop you up as you tackle this relationship dilemma. We'll help you break down the steps to acceptance and moving forward, which might allow for a more peaceful relationship.

Happy New Year!  Back-to-school time offers everyone a reset button. It's time to focus on the new, improved you who is, most likely, quite different than the person you were when the world shut down in mid-March.  We give you permission to shed the snakeskin and reveal a more discerning persona.  Start this new chapter with clarity and intention by setting appropriate boundaries in all the relationships that matter. We'll give you the script on how to do so successfully.
