This is a must listen episode if you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant, even if this will be your second or third baby. This week's guest is Deanna Van Pyrz, a newborn care specialist. Deanna reminds us, "With every birth, there is a birth of a new mother as well, every time." Tune in for some amazing tips for the early days of post-partum. 

Here are the key takeaways: 

1. In motherhood, it’s important to roll w/ the tide versus fighting the tide. It’s definitely easier to ride the wave. 
2. You don’t know what you don’t know, and the support available in the hospital are clinicians. They’re there to make sure that everyone is stable, not to teach you/support you in feeding. Be informed before you enter the hospital. 
3. Be mindful of asking the right question to the wrong person. For example, asking your pediatrician, not an LC, about breastfeeding. That’s not in their scope, and the best they can offer you will be their opinion. 
4. Prepare a support cabinet. The President makes decisions based on his advisors. Mamas need a cabinet of their own including, but not limited to: a lactation consultant, pelvic floor therapist, pediatric dentist, sleep specialist, etc. Get recommendations on who’s the best in your area early and prepare your cabinet as early as possible. 
5. You are not obligated to defend or explain your parenting choices to anyone, at any time. 
6. With every birth, there is a birth of a new mother as well, every time. 

About Our Guest:

Long before becoming a mother of two, Deanna was engaged in the lives of young children. She and her husband taught, coached and performed arts education programs for two decades throughout the Northeastern United States. Later, with the experiences of her own labor, delivery and postpartum recovery, she developed an even keener sense for the support and guidance that new moms need. Once she became an empty-nester, she pursued her passion for helping mothers in that tender time period by gaining professional training in newborn care; postpartum care; lactation; infant sleep, and holistic based parenting.

Now, five years later, she has supported dozens of families with thousands of contact hours. She has dealt hands-on with all kinds of tricky situations: reflux; oral ties; milk protein allergies; she has seen it all. 

Deanna receives consistent feedback from clients who describe her as a patient and thoughtful listener as well as a calming influence in the home. Her natural intuitiveness with babies makes all the difference in their smooth passage through the fourth trimester. 

When Deanna is not working with young families, she can be found traveling through time between the pages of a historical novel or spending time with her husband and dogs in their newly empty nest.

Here this week's key takeaways:

1. Other moms can be our biggest opponents when they could be our allies. Just hold space, love, and support others. Collectively, we moms can learn to be a little more accepting of others’ differences. We’re all made the way we’re made, after all. 
2. Moms of the “different” kids are always apologizing and explaining on behalf of their children, and it’s draining. If this is you, it’s time to set it down and make some space for yourself. Even just a 10 minute walk around the block, or a phone call with a compassionate friend to give yourself some time away from the chaos. 
3. When your child is experiencing challenges, you can fall into a blackhole of troubleshooting and trying to problem solve. You don’t need to try to solve all the problems today. The issues will still be there tomorrow, but take time for yourself today and every day.  
4. Find your people, even if it’s just one person, who gets it. 
5. Learn to tune out the noise and  the voices that tell you you’re doing everything wrong. You’re doing the best you can. Connect with your truth. Forget all the noise, all the haters, all those voices. The voice inside of you is the only one that matters.

This week's guest is Sasha Braham, a mother, teacher, and founder of @woowoo_teachersclub and host of the WooWooTeachers Club podcast. In this episode, Sasha shares her experience as an educator and the profound impact her morning meditation has had on her students' achievement. 

Sasha also shares her poignant motherhood journey that began with the loss of her daughter at 6 weeks old. She implores us to consider: 

Why are we silent about our story? Our losses? Your journey, your story, can help someone else make it through theirs when they see that you’re smiling today in spite of it all. You can be the hope that someone else needs. 

Here are this week's key takeaways:

1. You have to prioritize you. You have to take some time to talk to your soul. 15 minutes can change your whole day. If you are expected to give for hours and hours on end, you have to give to yourself first. 
2. Post-partum depression does not mean you’re weak.  Get up and go get that help. It shows the strength you have when you recognize the struggle and seek the help. You’re not the hero when you’re suffering. 
3. In early postpartum, just be kind to yourself. You’re literally keeping a human alive, on top of recovering from childbirth and pregnancy. Even if you’re not a new mom, you’re still a new mom to that child. It’s a new dynamic. Just be kind to yourself. Give yourself grace, understanding, compassion. Just allow the flow and ease of the situation. 
4. You just don’t need to make it harder for yourself. Go and sit next to yourself, hug her, and tell her how awesome and amazing she is. Tell her, "I love you, and I love where you are in your life." Give her love as if she’s your best friend because it’s all she needs right now. 
5. We’ve all gone through our stuff. It doesn’t mean the path is going to always be roses going forward. There are going to be lessons that we have to learn in this life. If you believe that your soul has chosen this life, then learn the lessons because it’s going to get you to a goal. Lovingly embrace those lessons - even the sad, even the scary. Take it all. It all makes you who you are. You don’t know where that experience is going to be used to help somebody else. 
6. We need to share our experiences; the good, the bad, the ugly. The more our stories  are shared, the more we normalize all the pieces. Your journey, your story, can help someone else make it through theirs when they see that you’re smiling today in spite of it all. You can be the hope that someone else needs. 
7. If you know someone who is experiencing a child loss, that baby, that mother, father, grandparents, etc., deserve to be acknowledged. Be present, have conversations. Don’t be silent for fear of upsetting the person.
