Mari Leckel embodies a deep passion for guiding, educating, and empowering families through the transformative phases of pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.

Everyone's journey is different... but every mother and family deserve to be educated, encouraged, and empowered with non-judgmental and unconditional support.
We discuss what the differences are in midwife and doula, and how valuable each role is and how they harmoniously collaborate.
Mamas, get ready to fall in love with Mari and this episode!!

"Why won't you sleep?!"
Sleep advice often overlooks the diverse needs of parents and their children, failing to account for varying temperaments and challenges. And we can just take a moment to acknowledge that there is SO much advice out there??
Raising a child who is intense, sensitive, alert, and persistent can present unique difficulties, but it also brings remarkable strengths. The presumed research backing traditional sleep training methods often lacks comprehensive evidence and ignores individual differences.
Mama's, it's time to shift our perspective on sleep training, embracing approaches that honor each child's temperament and family dynamics!! Encouraging moms of strong-willed children to explore alternative strategies that suit their child's needs fosters a sense of empowerment and community, reminding them they are not alone in this journey.

It's completely normal to feel like you're falling short at times, but remember...
Mama you ARE doing great!
Giving yourself and others grace during these moments of self-doubt is crutial; NONE of us are perfect, and that's okay. Every stumble is a chance to learn and grow, to "shake it off" and pivot towards a new direction.
Embrace the journey, knowing that it's the small steps forward that lead to progress and fulfillment.

As a former elementary teacher and now a children's book author, Lauren Piland's passion for sparking conversations through books aligns perfectly with the goal of encouraging mothers to engage with their children on important topics.
Using resources like her books allows mothers to dive deeper into discussions and explore complex emotions and situations in a relatable and age-appropriate manner.
We can use all the help we can get, am I right mama's?
These discussions not only reinforce positive behaviors but also foster a strong bond between mothers and children built on trust, understanding, and open communication.

https://thedripbar.com/cinco-ranch-stableside32 min - 73 | First VS Last
Mamas we often cherish and celebrate their children's first milestones with immense joy and excitement...
However, amidst the flurry of firsts, it's equally crucial to savor and be fully present for the lasts.
The last time a child reaches for your hand, the last bedtime story, or the last hug before they outgrow your lap are moments that hold profound significance.
These fleeting lasts remind us of the transient nature of time and the importance of relishing every precious moment, for we never truly know when the last time will come, leaving behind cherished memories that we'll forever hold dear.

46 min - 69 | Breaking Free from Expectations and Conformity
I am breaking free from lying to other people because I’m afraid of what they’re going to say or think…and you should too!
Mama, you don’t owe anyone an explanation of what you do, how you raise your kids, or decisions you make for YOUR family.
It’s so easy to get caught in the trap of people pleasing because you’re afraid you’re going to offend someone.
Let’s dust our hands from this unrealistic expectation that anyone has it all together.
It’s EXHAUSTING.
Here’s my tips:
- Change the narrative about yourself
- Be honest with other people
