This week, Amanda chats with Natasha Veatch about motherhood, identity, and the importance of friendship and connection. Natasha is a fellow toddler mom to her sweet 2-year-old son, Myles. Growing up with a single mom in a big family, she often took on the role of the sometimes overlooked "easy" middle child, and now she's deeply intentional about giving her son the one-on-one attention and support he needs to thrive.

In this episode, I sit down for an open and honest chat with Salem resident Carol Eliza. We dive into the often-overlooked realities of postpartum experiences, including not always recognizing the signs, and the ongoing gaps in women’s healthcare after birth. Carol shares her journey raising neurodivergent children, the challenges and unexpected joys along the way, and the deep need for more community and support for mothers. Whether you're a new mom or just seeking real talk about motherhood, this episode offers compassion, insight, and hard-won wisdom.

 In this episode, Amanda and Heather Magill, a postpartum doula and matrescence educator, explore the identity shifts of new motherhood.

Host Amanda Hurley catches up with her friend, Simone Wagner, as they introduce the themes of our new podcast- and talk about their own experiences as new moms of toddlers. Matrescence and identity shifts, the dichotomy of being the happiest you've ever been and the most lost at the same time, and the experience of creeping rage when watching other people hold your newborn baby- we cover it all!
