  • 17. Is Spanking Illegal?

    In this episode Natalie talks with Social Worker Andrea Morales. Together they discuss state regulation on child discipline, alternative methods and how cultural backgrounds influence our discipline methods. Natalie asks all the questions from "Is spanking my child illegal?" to "what is considered child negligence?". 

    We hope this conversation encourages you to have a new perspective and approach towards discipline. So you can raise your child as wisely and lovingly like only YOU know how to mama!

    EP 11. Hey new mama! Are you feeling lonely but can't remember when was the last time you were alone? we totally get it. Motherhood loneliness surprised both of us too. In this episode we discuss how loneliness showed up in our life and how we coped with it. Also we talk all things social media, F.O.M.O, and making mom friends. (Why is it so hard to make mom friends?!) 
    Just remember you may feel like your life is on hold. But you have not been forgotten or buried. YOU HAVE BEEN PLANTED. Growing and turning into the mother your children absolutely need you to be!

  • Loss is not Contagious with Eunise de Moura

    EP 9. There are many layers to motherhood. A weave of good parts intertwined  with hard, difficult experiences. Both go hand in hand in this journey but one side always hushed away.  And so, in honor of National Infant and pregnancy loss awareness month we explore and discuss one of those difficult experiences that usually happens behind closed doors in silence: miscarriage. 

    In this episode, Natalie interviews Eunice de Moura. Whom shares her story with us and some advice for the mamas that are experiencing or have experienced loss. Eunice, also shares ways we can approach and be of help to a grieving mama. Please be aware before listening- this conversation can be triggering of past trauma.  But we do our best to make this space a place where we can engage bravely, empathetically and thoughtfully with this difficult content.
