Deciding what to pack for school lunch can be hard. There’s so much pressure and perfectionism, interwoven with our own fear and insecurity. It’s no wonder so many moms feel overwhelmed by it.

This week on The Momwell Podcast, I’m joined by dietician Megan McNamee, co-founder of Feeding Littles, to discuss how parents can reduce the mental load around what to pack for school lunch, embrace flexibility, and break cycles of unhealthy relationships with food.

Determining the right choice is hard—we have to weigh out factors like whether we want more children, whether or not we’re breastfeeding, and how our body responds to hormones. 

This week on The Momwell Podcast, I’m joined by OB-GYN Dr. Fran Haydanek, founder of Paging Dr. Fran, to discuss how moms can make informed decisions about birth control after childbirth.

Parents in the United States often have a difficult time navigating parental leave. Complex laws, a lack of federal protection, and common misunderstandings leave them unsure about their rights and options. But when you are empowered with knowledge and the right plan, you can discover how to get paid during maternity leave and protect both your job and postpartum experience. 

This week on The Momwell Podcast, I’m joined by attorney Daphne Delvaux, founder of Delvaux Law and the Mamattorney. Daphne has dedicated her career to helping moms understand and advocate for their workplace rights, including parental leave coverage and pumping protection.

Many of us want to foster emotional learning for our kids and support them as they navigate their big feelings—but we don’t always have the right tools in our toolbox. In fact, we’re often learning these skills for ourselves while we try to teach them to our children. 

That’s why I’m so grateful for Slumberkins—a brand committed to supporting parents and offering them tangible tools and resources to help foster their kids’ emotional health. This week on The Momwell Podcast, I’m joined by the co-founders of Slumberkins, Kelly Oriard and Callie Christensen, to discuss what emotional learning looks like—both for our children and ourselves.

Parenting can take a toll on our relationship with our partner, leaving us feeling resentful or falling into common arguments. But what if our partner isn’t the problem? What if stress is causing the conflict–not the other way around? And what if we can learn how to get back on the same page and navigate it together? 

This week on The Momwell Podcast, I’m joined by family therapist Liz Earnshaw, author of 'Til Death Do Us Part and founder of Liz Listens, to discuss stress and relationship conflict after having a baby, and how we can learn to connect, communicate, and work as a team.
