This episode takes a deep dive into my anxious psyche and its relationship to creating lasting relationships. Historically I have always struggled with creating & maintaining friendships. I’ve discovered that although I could be seen as an extrovert, I find it deeply challenging to not feel “other” than when surrounded by other mothers. I’m sure a therapist could tell you what the root of this insecurity is, but instead, I will talk to myself for thirty minutes with hopes that other moms who also struggle with this, know that they are not alone.

Join us for this very real conversation between two humans who once couldn’t leave the bedroom and are now navigating post-birth sex. My husband and I have had our ups and downs...but only after you have little humans escaping from your body & running around your house do you really understand just how intimately disconnected you can feel from your partner (and damn, how tired you can be!). We dive deeper into how your intimacy can evolve once you begin the new chapter of parenthood. Enjoy!

This episode tackles the topic of mom guilt! Now that the holidays are very much over, things have slowed back to their normal pace and I’ve had an opportunity to check in with my persistent state of mom-mode...and let me tell you, it was filled with guilt! Never doing “enough” and living in stretchy pants can wear on your tired brain. Sometimes we need a minute to quiet our brain and to not feel shame about it! None of us are perfect at this parenting thing, but hell, we’ll certainly try (and feel bad about it!). So here’s to trying our damnedest and feeling the worst!

This episode touches on important topics that have been on my mind as a mother: breastfeeding, mothering two children under the age of two, and the prospect of becoming a working mother after staying home for three years. These experiences tend to feel natural, beginning with an inexplicable maternal bond, yet end feeling self-sacrificial. You can catch yourself feeling grateful, though resentful and anxious. So much of being a mother is filled with self sacrifice & learning how to untangle being a mother, with being an individual. We’re all still learning, so leave your mom-guilt at the door and get ready for some real talk! Have any of your own stories you would like to share? E-mail them to me [email protected]

Happy holidays...aaaand that’s pee in your pants. This episode touches on my oldest’s potty training adventure in the midst of the holidays and my subsequent new job as laundry maiden. The term ‘threenager’ was introduced as a way of describing the wrath that comes with a moody, stubborn three year old who is testing boundaries in an effort to discover where the lines are drawn. This one’s a short episode; what is free-time? Right, my 3-going-on-13-year-old has it hidden in a time-out somewhere.

Thank you everyone for tuning for my second episode! This week when I asked my community what topics they might be interested in me covering, a point that came up more than once was the notion of boundaries and subsequent anxiety from either not expressing those boundaries, or from having them ignored. The act of setting boundaries has of course always existed, however as this new wave of mental health culture comes to the forefront of the collective consciousness, some of us are being called upon to reflect on what we consider to be our boundaries. It’s been a journey for me to understand that setting boundaries (especially with loved ones), is actually a form of self care. It’s all about ensuring you are protecting your *mental* well-being so as to be of service to others. I know this topic is a cultural touch point for many of us as women, so I’m looking forward to hearing what you all think!
