At 4 months old the pediatrician diagnosed my son with torticollis & plagiocephaly.

The PT suggested he get a helmet (band) to correct his head shape. As well as therapy stretching on his neck. 

Have you ever heard of torticollis or plagiocephaly?

As a first-time mom, I felt a lot of guilt, sadness & even more anxiety.

This lead me into a downward spiral and telling myself...

 "This is my fault! I should have done more tummy time! I should have caught this sooner! I’m such a bad mom!"

No parent ever wants to hear something is wrong with their child. 

No matter how big or small it may be, it’s still big to those parents at the time they are living the situation. 

Does your child need or have a helmet? Have you seen babies with helmets and wondered why they wear them?

I share our story on the episode, in hopes to encourage the mamas going through it or the family members that don't understand.

If I could go back in time and give myself some advice as a NEW MOM, I would tell her...

perfection does not exist,

lead with your heart,

burn the "What to Expect" books,

push the mute button on people’s opinions

& never say “I’m a bad mom”!!!

Being a NEW MOM is so exciting, but can also be scary, tiring, and isolating.

Inside this episode, I share 10 things I wish I would have done/ known as a new mom. 

Whether you are a mom-to-be, a first-time mom or you have been around the block a few times & pregnant again, this is a great episode to remind you; you are the perfect mama for your babies & no matter what, you are doing a GREAT job!

Today is Part 2 of Meet the Yanez Team. Part 1, was episode 31. Jared & I talked all about personalities and how you parent a child who is so different from yourself & how we parent together even though we may do things differently at times. If you haven't already, listen to that episode.

Today we dive into our marriage and how we have strengthened our marriage over the years. Marriage with kids is hard. It takes a lot of work. A lot of late-night conversations after the kids are asleep. We are not perfect by any means, but at the end of the day we are a team and we work really hard at our marriage.

In this episode, we talk about what has worked and not worked and what we have learned over the years. Jared gives his advice to all the dads out there & flips the script of encouragement to dads...

After you listen, share with your husband, let's see if they can relate.

My special guest today is... my husband, Jared!!!! Today is our 8 year wedding anniversary, what better way to celebrate than having him on the podcast. Our conversation was so good, I had to break it down into two episodes.

This is Part 1 of Meet the Yanez Team!

Today we talk about parenting and what we "thought" parenting would be like and how it "really" is.

When your child's personality is different from yours, you are stretched to learn and adapt in your way of thinking and teaching. Jared shares how this has helped him be a better person in learning to be more open-minded.

Jared and I have two totally different personalities and we share how we have learned to focus on each other's strengths in order to parent and work as a team.

Parenting is hard & we are not afraid to talk about our mess-ups. This episode is great to hear a Dad's perspective on parenting.

Welcome to the Club Daddy BOOK

Therapy has this big stigma around it that like if you go to therapy, you are crazy and you're weak.

Most people that are going to therapy are not weak because they know they need some help. I think it’s really strong and courageous that they are putting themselves out there and actually going for it.

Every day we wake up; we have something to learn and something that we can grow from. God's plan is greater than we could ever imagine. So this is my belief, my journey, and why I believe in it.

The biggest took away and the biggest thing I learned about myself in therapy, is I was struggling with being a perfectionist. My standards for myself and my child were so high, not realistic, I felt like I was failing every day, all day long.

In this episode, I share my journey through therapy & how it has helped me become a better mom, wife & woman. I share the NUMBER ONE TIP I LEARNED & how it will help you as well! We are not meant to do life alone. Listen to my story here.

Listen to Episode 5

Allie Schwartz is a mom to Aiden. Aiden is eight months old now. She's been married for two and a half years. She's just a normal mom trying to survive motherhood, & saving money for her kids' therapy.

In this episode, we talk about a "controversial topic". Hating being pregnant! A lot of people are afraid to talk about this topic in fear of being judged as a "bad mom". Allie dives right in and she is brutally honest. I think that we need a little bit more of that or just a safe place or person to be able to come to and talk about how you really feel.

Not liking being pregnant, doesn't make you not want your baby. It doesn't make you a bad mom.

She also talks about mourning her past life, her old life, pre-baby, and how she's adjusting to the new baby life. She shared with us her experience with her placenta pills, and how it helped her with postpartum and anxiety.

She shares advice about sleeping & going with your mama gut.

This is a great episode, especially if you are scared to get pregnant, not excited about pregnancy, or you're grieving the life before baby. It is real and honest.

In this episode, she explains about new born sleeping patterns & how their brains are wired, placing a factor. We talk about a huge topic every mom stresses about & how we make it more stressful than it needs to be, by reading & downloading apps that tell us exactly how it should be... it's Sleep Regressions!

We also dive into the judgment of sleep training & self-soothing. She is even an expert in toddlers & how to prevent them from yo-yo-ing back and forth from the bed into the hallway. What I would have done to hear this episode 6 years ago when I was a new mom.
