New Mommy at 40 Podcast

If you've struggled with keeping up with your friendships after becoming a mother, this episode is for you!

While it's easy to complain about the disappearing act of some of our friends, it's humbling to realize that we may have not been reaching out either. It certainly takes two to tango and sometimes we have to take the lead to maintain the relationships that are of upmost importance to us.

We know that for some of our friends, figuring out what you need or how to be there for you, is easier said than done.

There may also come a time, when our new life creates a dynamic that does shift the energy within a friendship and we realize that we've outgrown each other. That's ok too.There is no right or wrong. At this stage of our lives as grown ass people, we've earned the right to do what's right for us!

So Mama, if you're seeking to nurture, maintain, repair or create friendships, this is for you!

In this episode, host Victoria Lauture Duncker interviews Michael Petrella, an Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) instructor, about his journey and the importance of teaching self-rescue swimming skills to infants and young children. Michael shares his personal motivation for becoming an ISR instructor and highlights the need for children to learn how to obtain their own air and float in the water. He explains the process of becoming an ISR instructor and the behavioral psychology behind teaching children these life-saving skills. Michael also addresses common myths and misconceptions about infant swimming and the dangers of relying on puddle jumpers and floaties. In this conversation, Mr. Michael Petrella discusses the importance of water safety and the role of ISR (Infant Swimming Resource) and O2 Swim in teaching children self-rescue skills. He also highlights the importance of teaching skills in different water environments and shares real-life examples of lives saved through self-rescue lessons. He encourages parents to take action and find access to lessons, including scholarships, to ensure their child's safety. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the joy of being an instructor and the need for more instructors to meet the demand for water safety education.

“Adoption was never a last resort for me. I always wanted one biological child and one adopted child.”

In this episode, host Victoria Lauture-Duncker interviews Daisha Enos, a 44-year-old wellness and health coach, about her journey to motherhood at 40. She discusses the comments and questions she received from family members and friends about her decision to have children later in life. While she always believed that she’d be a mother, of two - one biological child and one adopted child, she never dreamed of getting married. 

After meeting her now husband Aron, she knew she had found the icing on the cake!  Daisha and Aron, mutually agreed to spend the first few years of married life together and wait to start their family. She credits him for being supportive early of her wishes for their family dynamic. 

The story behind their adoption process is a MUST LISTEN.  It is truly a testament in that when something is meant for you, it is meant for YOU! 

My biggest takeaway from my chat with Daisha?

Being specific about what you want and going after it can lead to incredible outcomes. Also, that it’s important to have a positive mindset and be open to learning from setbacks and challenges. Incredible!
