August 15, 2022 141. Prioritizing Partnership and Friendships in Parenthood
Today’s episode is all about relationships, and specifically the power of those in-person friendships that mean so much. We’ll be sharing some of the things that we’ve been going through ourselves lately, but one thing we strongly believe in at HERself is that you need to have good friends in your life that you can absolutely count on.
Real relationships take time to nurture and the process can’t be rushed, but we want you to be open to the idea of making new friends. During this season of life, there are times that you will need those people close to that you can lean on!
We’ve been thinking about how we can help our listeners grow their roots, and that’s why we want to invite you to join the HERself Podcast Patreon Community, where we take these conversations deeper in our private Facebook Group. Recently, we talked about mom guilt and where it shows up, and in this community we talk about the shame and secrecy that comes with mom guilt, as well as the wins that we don’t normally celebrate with each other. You can join at one of three different tiers to support us as creators, and be part of an exclusive community of over 100 women who are also navigating this crazy thing we call life, at https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcast.

August 08, 2022 140. The Mom Guilt Episode
Today we are tackling the topic of mom guilt, which is something we talked about way back on Episode 12 of the podcast. This is important to mention, because what we say today is coming from a place of it being two years later. Back then, mom guilt was something that we were struggling more with, which led to both of us doing a lot of work in this area, and we want to share our insights and what we’ve learned with you today.
Motherhood is a journey, and we realize that mom guilt shows up differently in all of us. We think that a lot of people just accept their mom guilt in a way that really holds them back, and we feel that your goal shouldn’t be focused on being selfless, but rather to demonstrate to your children that you are a healthy person. We hope this episode provides a nudge for you to dive deeper into these feelings of mom guilt, and as always, we’re here for you every step of the way.
If you enjoy this episode and get something from it, we would love it if you shared it with a friend. This message on mom guilt needs to be shared with as many people as possible, and don’t forget to tag us on Instagram, @herselfpodcast and let us know your biggest takeaways!

August 01, 2022 139: Molly Millwood on Finding Your Voice in Motherhood and Marriage
It would be an understatement to say that we have been looking forward to having today’s guest, Dr. Molly Millwood, back on the podcast! If you’re a long-time listener of HERself, you undoubtedly remember when Molly was with us for Episode 10, which is actually our second most listened to episode of all-time, and one that Amy still receives the most personal messages about.
In this episode, Molly reminds us that not every part of motherhood is going to be enjoyable, and it’s ok to voice this out loud. She also helps us get a new perspective on the invisible load faced by so many women and mothers today, along with revealing why it really is time for us to start prioritizing our female friendships again, and a whole lot more.
If you enjoy this episode, we would love it if you shared it with a friend. Molly’s message is definitely one that needs to be shared with as many people as possible, and don’t forget to tag us on Instagram, @molly.millwood.phd and @herselfpodcast and let us know your biggest takeaways!

July 25, 2022 138. HERself Expert: Haley Sacks from @MrsDowjones - The Financial Episode Every Woman Needs to Hear
One topic that we know you tune in for is money, and today we’re covering it with Haley from Mrs. Dow Jones! Haley is a “Financial Pop Star”, and her superpower is the ability to simplify financial matters and make them relatable for her community, which we appreciate so much here at HERself.
In this episode, Haley shares her thoughts on a budget versus financial tracking, what you need to know about credit cards and your credit score, and the tremendous impact that holding regular “money dates” with your partner can have (along with so much more good stuff)!
The big message that we want you to take away from this episode is that you really can start small and build your financial self-esteem over time. Money issues won’t go away on their own, but just by gaining awareness and implementing the strategies that Haley reveals today, you’ll be in a much better position to empower yourself when it comes to your finances.
Haley’s new course, Let’s Invest, is launching on July 28th, 2022, and HERself listeners can use the discount code “HERSELF” for 10% off at https://university.financeiscool.com/p/lets-invest. Hurry, as this promotion will only be available through August 25, 2022!
If you enjoy this episode, we’d be so honored if you shared it on Instagram, tagging @mrsdowjones and @herselfpodcast.

July 18, 2022 137. HERself Expert: Alyssa Blask Campbell of @seedandsew on All Things Emotional Intelligence for You and Your Kids
Alyssa Blask Campbell dives into a topic that is real in this community - emotional intelligence. Not just for raising our children to learn EI but to help us understand it in the process. As an expert in this field, Alyssa is no stranger to how dysregulated emotions for an adult can impact a child and she dives into real scenarios on how we (and our partners) can learn, repair, and grow in this important area of parenting.

@seed.and.sew has an abundance of resources on this topic as well as others that will help you build confidence on your parenting journey. We can't wait to see what you pull from Alyssa's interview!

July 11, 2022 136. Strategies to Lessen Worry
Today’s episode is inspired by something that we go through as hosts of this podcast which you don’t see as listeners, and that is what goes on behind the scenes as we deal with our guests. Every once in a while we have changes or cancellations, and things can get a little bit stressful for us as a result when these curveballs happen. Both of us often ruminate or worry about the impact that it has on our schedule, and that is what we’re focusing on here.
In this episode, we not only share specific strategies that you can use to overcome rumination, but we also reveal our own personal experiences with it and how we’re working to reduce, or eliminate it, as well. Rumination isn’t something that you’re going to solve tomorrow, but just take one step in the right direction whenever you feel that it is popping up for you and see what happens!
If you enjoyed this episode, we’d be so honored if you shared it on Instagram, tagging us @herselfpodcast, and make sure to share it with a friend or someone that you think can benefit from this important message!

July 04, 2022 135. Greatest Hits: HERself Expert Vanessa Marin, Sex Therapist. All Your Sex Questions Answered
This episode is being released the week of July 4th in the United States, and we realize that with the Independence Day holiday, you may be a bit busier this week spending time with family and friends - but you must relisten to this episode!
Today we are bringing you one of our Greatest Hits episodes with HERself Expert, Vanessa Marin, a sex therapist who takes the taboo out of sex. This is such an important topic that seldom gets discussed in this much detail, even among close friends.
Join us this week as we uncover how sex, conversation and releationships really go hand-in-hand, and where we as women (and couples) can find joy and more confidence in this key area of our lives. We can’t wait to hear what you get from this episode with Vanessa!

June 27, 2022 134. Dr. Chelsea Jackson Roberts with Strategies to Be Where Your Feet Are
We’ve got a special treat for you today, as we bring you a conversation we had with the amazing Dr. Chelsea Jackson Roberts. Chelsea earned her teaching credentials and later completed her MA followed by her Ph.D. from the Division of Educational Studies at Emory University in 2014. It is during her experience as a classroom teacher that she began to make connections between literacy development, yoga and other mindfulness practices. Now she’s able to teach hundreds of thousands of people, including celebrity supporters and clientele such as Shonda Rhimes and Jennifer Garner - and she really helped Amy restore after the long pandemic parenting days too!
Chelsea is such an inspiration to us, starting as a teacher and now being on a big platform that she is serving people so well on, and we are so happy that you get that chance to learn from her today. Listen in as she shares more about her journey, including how she is approaching being a mom for the very first time, and Chelsea gives us all a reminder that showing up as ourselves is enough.
If you enjoy this episode, we’d be so honored if you shared it on Instagram, tagging @chelsealovesyoga and @herselfpodcast.

June 13, 2022 132. Bring on the Men: Colin and Abby Talk Parental Stress with a Spirited Child and Strategies for Miscommunication
Covid has finally hit the entire Green household, and it resulted in a full week of rearranging plans and alternating childcare. Colin and I thought that this would be the perfect time to record an episode with just the two of us, coming to you from our studio (which happens to be our master bedroom, for the time being)! Today we are focusing on some of the biggest obstacles that we deal with as a family, while also sharing how we’re finding strategies to get through them. We have a feeling that many of our pain points may just be the same ones that your family is going through as well!
Drew and Amy will be doing an interview with each other for an upcoming episode on the podcast, and you won’t want to miss that one! If you are enjoying this type of content, we’d love it if you shared this episode and let us know what you took away from hearing a new perspective on some of the biggest things that we deal with in parenthood, as well as partnership!
