  • 30. You Cannot Navigate Motherhood Alone (w/ Shanna Hutcheson)
    Episode 30- You Cannot Navigate Motherhood Alone w/ Shanna Hutcheson
    This week I have Shanna (@wellnessforthewin) on the podcast as a guest. We chat all about postpartum, expectations we put on ourselves, asking for help, mental health and SO much more!
    I've said it before and I'll just keep saying it- the reason that I created this podcast was for community and Shanna said it perfectly in this episode, "you cannot navigate motherhood alone."
    I think we can all agree that at some points we can be a little stubborn in asking for help- it can be so hard to admit that we need it but so necessary to do. Shanna talks about this on today's episode and what that looks like for her.
    You can find Shanna on IG @wellnessforthewin
    Be sure to check out her blog where she shares some great recipes, lifestyle tips and my favorite- Amazon Storefront!

    It is so special to be able to connect with other Moms to relate to, lean on and keep in touch with from miles away. I loved this conversation with Emmy and I hope that you guys do too! You can find her:

  • Episode 27. "Oh, You Just Wait." - Letting Fear Take From The Present
    Episode 27- "Oh You Just Wait" - Letting Fear Take From The Present
    I am solo on the podcast today after weeks of awesome guests, and more to come! I am updating you guys on our 3.5 month bundle of love and chatting about fear. Fear was a huge factor in waiting to get pregnant. I assumed my life would flip upside down and not in a good way.
    This week I am sharing WHY I felt that way, what's bugging me about it and what the change really ended up being. I had hoped to find something like this in my pregnancy - the breakdown of exactly what was going on, what it looked like and what it felt like (not that you can ever be totally prepared). I'm hopeful that this will resonate with Mamas to be or current Mamas too! We are all in this together!

As a mama of a 3 month old, sleep is a hot topic around here. We chat all about sleeping through the night, whats "normal" for naps, creating the ideal sleeping environment, helping our little ones become more independent sleepers and so much more!
    You guys- I honestly was able to take SO much from this conversation. The simplest tips have already made a difference when it comes to nap time in our house.

  • Episode 25. The Truth About Breastfeeding (w/ Samantha Tully)
    Episode 25- The Truth About Breastfeeding (w/ Samantha Tully)
    This week I have RN & Certified Breastfeeding Specialist, Samantha Tully, on the podcast. I was drawn to Samantha’s page by her myth busting posts around breastfeeding. She shares the FACTS and why some of the things that we may have been told may not be totally accurate.
    We talk about baby gas, if our diet’s can affect our breastmilk, alcohol and breastfeeding, increasing milk supply, pumping, and so much more. As a first time mom, I gained so much from this conversation and felt like I could have talked to Samantha for hours about this topic. Personally, I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders and permission to take the pressure off of myself. I hope you feel the same after listening!
    I would HIGHLY recommend checking out her Instagram page for more myth busting, breastfeeding facts and tips. Samantha also offers online courses, consultations and e-books around popular breastfeeding topics so check those out while you are at it! You can find Samantha:

  • Episode 24. Recognizing Food Rules & Debunking Them (w/ Allie Landry)
    Episode 24- Recognizing Food Rules & Debunking Them (w/ Allie Landry)
    This week I have Virtual Dietician, Allie Landry from Make Life Peachy, on the podcast. Allie focuses on helping clients find food freedom and confidence within themselves and in their bodies. We chat all about the food rules that diet culture has instilled in us & how to go about releasing those rules from our mindsets.
    This was such a great conversation full of practical ways to begin letting go of food rules, separating our self worth from our bodies & food choices and finding sustainability around food.
    Allie shares so many great tips and thoughts on her Instagram, @makelifepeachy. I originally came across her page through other intuitive eating and food freedom accounts. I love when Allie’s post come up on my feed because they are the best reminder for a mindset shift around food and the ways that we speak about ourselves and our bodies.
    Whether you are struggling with food freedom, looking to get started with intuitive eating or just feel like you have lost control over food and food choices, this is a great listen for you! You can find Allie:

About Moms Full Circle

From the publisher's feed

As a Mom, Wife, Dog Mom to 2, Full time professional, part time hustler, passionate fit chick, and nutrition guru- I get it! How the heck are we supposed to know and do all things mom life while also prioritizing our own health and self care?! That's why I created this podcast; to support Moms in the wild ride that is motherhood, to help them feel empowered, to encourage them to take that few minutes of "me" time and to prioritize their own health in order to be the best Mama they can be.
