Having It All vs. Having What You Want: Redefining Motherhood with Priya Rednam Waldo

43 minutes

Christina sits down with therapist, Army veteran, and motherhood coach Priya Rednam Waldo for a deeply honest conversation about what it really means to thrive during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. From commanding medical units in the Army to launching a maternal mental health practice, Priya shares her journey from checking all the boxes to realizing she was living someone else’s version of success. She dives into the pressure high-achieving women face during motherhood, the myth of "doing it all," and how her own healing journey led her to coaching women through their own motherhood transformations.

If you’re pregnant, postpartum, or supporting someone who is—this conversation is for you. Learn how to redefine success, release guilt, reclaim joy, and build a life on your terms. Plus, hear real client stories, practical strategies, and why sometimes the only permission you need is your own.
