Hey Shayla - Judgement Free Motherhood 😅😭😍

Hey Shayla Podcast | Ep: 021
IG Highlights showing other covid + pregnant stories: www.instagram.com/heyshayla

Thank you for listening to the Hey Shayla podcast!  Here, we love to learn new things and decide what works for us and our family.. We're the moms that support instead of judge and know there are many ways to do something right.  I'd love to connect on Instagram @heyshayla

Being pregnant can already be stressful, throw in a pandemic and anxiety can be at an all time high. Then you need to make decisions about the vaccine, who you feel comfortable being around and dealing with changing guidelines at hospitals... woof.
You're also told that pregnant women get more severe symptoms because of our lowered immune system and lungs that are being squashed. 
SO needless to say it's something that's always in the back of your mind. Well... my family got covid  and I’m sharing my experience of being covid positive while 25 pregnancy because I was honestly terrified to get covid.

I’m sharing my experience of getting covid+ while 25 pregnancy because I was honestly terrified to get covid. I'm not saying it's not scary, I understand the severity of it. I've lost family members who were covid positive when they passed.  But most of the stories out there are all about the most traumatic and extreme cases so I wanted to share mine that was not comfortable but fairly mild.

I also asked my instagram for other women who got covid during pregnancy and shared their stories on my highlights. 
Please stay safe, everyone's outcome is different but I wanted to share mine.

020 - 3 EASY tips to encourage your toddler develop language (& why it’s important)
Hey Shayla Podcast | Ep: 020
Guest: Katie and Carly  from  @weetalkers Speech & Language Therapists

Thank you for listening to the Hey Shayla podcast!  Here, we love to learn new things and decide what works for us and our family.. We're the moms that support instead of judge and know there are many ways to do something right.  I'd love to connect on Instagram @heyshayla

Is it actually important that our children develop vocabulary early? Don’t kids learn how to talk on their own? These are questions I asked Katie and Carly from Wee Talkers. TBH I had no idea what I could learn for my typical speaking toddler but HOLY SMOKES DID I LEARN!!

Katie and Carly walk me through three SIMPLE changes to make in the way I talk to my toddler to help her develop her skills so she can communicate more easily with me and avoid frustration. Something else I didn’t think about was that it prepares her for building on that communication when it comes time for school and learning!

Hey Shayla Podcast | Ep: 019
No such thing as bad weather, a get-outside mindset!
Guest: @rainorshinemamma Author of “There’s No Such Thing as Bad Weather”

Thank you for listening to the Hey Shayla podcast!  Here, we love to learn new things and decide what works for us and our family.. We're the moms that support instead of judge and know there are many ways to do something right.  I'd love to connect on Instagram @heyshayla

Living in Minnesota, it’s COLD. I’m talking colder than the South Pole sometimes! We basically write off winters, we even have skyways in the city so we never have to actually go outside. So when I started to read No Such Thing as Bad Weather - A Scandinavian Mom’s Secrets for Raising Healthy, Resilient and Confident Kids, my world was turned upside down when she said you can (and should) go play outside in any temperature. Her motto from growing up in Sweden is “There’s no such thing as bad weather only bad clothing”. So I started my mission to invest in gear to GET OUTSIDE!

Linda McGurk was SO fun to talk to and answer ALL of my questions like what is a balaclava? How do you buy lambs wool to insulate your stroller and a bunting bag to keep your baby warm? And IS there TOO cold?

018 - Do you ACTUALLY need to work on your pelvic floor in pregnancy & postpartum? With Women’s Health PT

Hey Shayla Podcast | Ep: 018
Guest: @ExpectingandEmpowered Krystle Women's Health PT

Thank you for listening to the Hey Shayla podcast!  Here, we love to learn new things and decide what works for us and our family.. We're the moms that support instead of judge and know there are many ways to do something right.  I'd love to connect on Instagram @heyshayla

I don’t know about you, but when I was pregnant I knew NOTHING about why pelvic floor was important, how to work it or why it was important. Luckily Expecting and Empowered reached out to me to try out their pregnancy and postpartum guides and probably saved me a lot of problems. I have one of the hilarious co-founders Krystle, a Women’s Health PT, on today to answer all of our questions about why it’s important and what to do about it!

An open conversation about mental health in pregnancy and postpartum with Cameron
Hey Shayla Podcast | Ep: 017
Guest: @freckledfoodie

Thank you for listening to the Hey Shayla podcast!  Here, we love to learn new things and decide what works for us and our family.. We're the moms that support instead of judge and know there are many ways to do something right.  I'd love to connect on Instagram @heyshayla

It’s kind of insane how much our mood fluctuates during pregnancy and postpartum. Some of us just ride the wave, and others seek out help with therapy, journaling, mediation, medication, exercise or ANYTHING that helps us to feel ourselves again.
Cameron (@freckeledfoodie) is an open book about her mental health journey which is EXACTLY why I wanted to chat mental health in pregnancy and postpartum with her.
She was a breath of fresh air who openly chatted about meditation, therapy, medication and let me ask questions I don’t feel comfortable asking most people like “At what point do you need to go on medication?”. I hope this episode gives you the confidence to get help however that best looks for you!

Don’t stop YOUR PASSION when you have a baby with travel writer Lindsey and Cole Ranzau 

Hey Shayla Podcast | Ep: 016
Guest: @LindseyRanzau and @coleranzau
https://lookaboutlindsey.com/

Thank you for listening to the Hey Shayla podcast!  Here, we love to learn new things and decide what works for us and our family.. We're the moms that support instead of judge and know there are many ways to do something right.  I'd love to connect on Instagram @heyshayla

In the instagram culture that we live in now, people think they need to quit their job, sell all of their things and buy a van to be able to travel. Also, people love to tell new parents to “do it now before you can’t”. Well Travel Writers Lindsey and Cole Ranzau took that on as a personal challenge to continue traveling and adventuring around Minnesota (and the world) even… ESPECIALLY after their daughter was born.
Lindsey and Cole open up with me to share their mindset on getting outside and JUST DOING IT! 
We hope this leaves you inspired to gather up the energy and get going with your little one!

015 - An EMPOWERING C-Section + postpartum body image w/ Liz Krueger

Hey Shayla Podcast | Ep: 015
Guest: @wearethekruegers Liz Krueger Curator with Lululemon

Unless you have a planned c-section, that option may not be one that you heavily consider when you think about how your birth will play out.  Many women come out of c-section a little stunned and wondering what just happened (and what to do now). Not Liz! Liz felt empowered by her emergency c-section. Knowing that that isn’t the norm for many women I wanted to interview her so we could hear her story of a long labor and eventually an empowering birth.  Liz also chatted with me about body image postpartum and putting in the work to FEELING better, however that looks for you.

Expect THESE emotions (&hormones) in pregnancy, postpartum and weaning with Dr. Carrie Jones

Hey Shayla Podcast | Ep: 013
Guest: @dr.carriejones a functional medicine and women's health/hormone doctor

I'd love to connect on Instagram @heyshayla

There is SO MUCH we didn’t learn about our own bodies. Most of us have NO CLUE what goes on in the body when we ovulate, have our period, get pregnant. So when our mood (and labido) tank postpartum we don’t know 1. That it wont last forever and 2. That is totally NORMAL. 

I had to have Dr. Carrie Jones, a friend, guru and functional medicine and women’s health/hormone doctor on to tell us all exactly what happens inside our bodies. This is the information we needed going into pregnancy and postpartum (and for me when I weaned) so we knew our crazy was… well normal crazy. That being said, it may be normal but that doesn’t make it any less horrible and we FULLY SUPPORT  talk therapy and medication to help you feel back to yourself!

 012: My low mood and energy improved after working with this clinical nutritionist #partner

Thank you for listening to the Hey Shayla podcast!  Here, we love to learn new things and decide what works for us and our family.. We're the moms that support instead of judge and know there are many ways to do something right.  I'd love to connect on Instagram @heyshayla

As moms our bodies, hormones, emotions and energy levels can be insane and make us wonder if we’ll ever feel like our old selves again. And while we probably won’t (I mean this new title is more than all of those things) we can do things to feel better. I’ve been working with Stephanie, a clinical nutritionist and owner of Ooh Wow Nutrition, and after looking at my labs she recommended natural ways to support my thyroid, low mood and energy.  In this episode we go through some of my history and my labs. I wanted to share Stephanie with you if you are feeling depleted and looking for someone to help!

I enjoy working with Stephanie because she combines data (YOUR BLOOD) with a natural and holistic approach to find a solution. 
If this is you, I hope this episode helps to give you some guidance.
