July 09, 2021 033: Submission Episode: Overcoming Mom Guilt
Submission episodes are helpful if for no other reason than to know that we aren’t alone! Mom-guilt is so common and knowing that other moms experience it as well somehow makes overcoming it just a little easier. In this episode we share all the ways you move away from mom-guilt in hopes that we can all work on this together! If you enjoyed this episode of Kindred Conversations we would love if you left a us a rating and review in Apple Podcasts!

July 02, 2021 032: What We Love About Gentle Parenting
We live in a time when with so many resources at our fingertips! How amazing that we get to be so well informed and intentional in our parenting methods. Although we have far from perfected our parenting, both Paris and I really love learning about and applying the principles taught in the respectful/gentle parenting method. We thought it would be helpful if we shared what we love about it so you can do your own research and apply some of these things in your own home. If this episode was helpful in any way we would love if you left a review in Apple Podcasts! You can follow along @kindred_conversations, @brittanywestoverfrye, and @paris.tews.

We are so thrilled to invite Natalie Drewery on the podcast today to share her gift with you!

Natalie has had a love of gathering from a young age. What is so unique about the way that Natalie hosts is not just that every detail is so well thought out, but that she is so intentional in creating and building honest connections at her events.

May 28, 2021 027: Methods to Finding Rest and Renewal
Rest and renewal can feel like an impossible goal at times, but they are necessary if we are going to show up in the ways we want for all the people we love. Of course, being a mother is a fulfilling and love-filled role, but without meaningful breaks we can easily lose our purpose and motivation.
The need to have regular moments of recharge has felt especially important to us recently. In this episode we discuss the ways that we are currently finding rest and renewal. We reflect on our habits and how a personal check-in can help us avoid falling into routines that don't currently serve us. We would love to hear from you on this topic as well!

May 14, 2021 025: Body Image and Intuitive Eating with Kimberly Stevens
In a culture that overemphasizes size and appearance it can feel confusing and difficult to navigate a time in which your body seems to change with as many phases as the moon. How do you learn to love every phase? How do you trust your body while encouraging healthy habits? How do you teach your child to have a healthy body image and positive relationship with food?

We were so happy to bring Kimberly onto the podcast this week to answer our questions all about body image and intuitive eating! Kimberly is an eating disorder therapist who is currently in her fourth year of her clinical psychology doctorate. We couldn't be more grateful to have had her on this week's episode!
