Welcome back to Omaha Mom Talks! I’m so excited to have you join us for today’s episode.

Finding childcare can feel overwhelming - especially for new parents. Long waitlists, different types of programs, safety concerns, and the emotional reality of leaving your baby in someone else's care can make the process feel like a lot.

In this episode, I sit down with Omaha mom and early childhood expert, Molly Colling, to break down how parents can navigate the childcare search with more confidence. Molly shares practical guidance on what

If you’re pregnant, returning to work, or currently trying to find the right childcare fit for your family, this episode will help you feel more informed and empowered.

What to Expect

One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation: there isn’t one perfect childcare option for every family. The best program is the one that supports your child’s development while fitting your family’s needs and values.

In this episode, we’re having a really important conversation about something many moms experience but don’t always have the space to talk about openly - birth trauma and the NICU experience.

If you’ve ever felt like you should be “over it” but still carry the weight of your birth or NICU experience, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I sit down with therapist Kanjana Hartshorne to talk about:

·       What birth trauma actually is (and why it’s not just about medical emergencies)

·       The emotional weight of the NICU experience

·       How trauma lives in the nervous system long after discharge

·       Guilt, numbness, hypervigilance, and “I should be over this” thoughts

·       Why talk therapy alone isn’t always enough

·       What somatic healing means in real life

·       Simple body-based tools moms can try today

·       Signs it might be time for deeper healing

Kanjana Hartshorne, LCSW, C-IAYT, CCFP, Reiki Master, is the founder of Healing Hearts Wellness, a holistic therapy practice integrating somatic and yoga therapy, EMDR, IFS, creative arts, and spiritual practices.

Welcome back to Omaha Mom Talks! I’m so excited to have you join us for today’s episode.

In this powerful and deeply important conversation, I’m joined by Samantha Wall - Omaha mom, public health professional, and founder of The Omaha Better Birth Project. Together, we explore birth as more than a medical event - it is a human, emotional, and systems-level experience that can shape families for years to come.

Sam shares how her own entry into motherhood opened her eyes to gaps in support, patterns in birth experiences, and the inequities many families face when navigating pregnancy and delivery.

What to Expect:

·       How Samantha’s first birth experience led her into advocacy work

·       The emotional realities of motherhood during pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond

·       What an empowered and supportive birth experience can be 

·       What The Omaha Better Birth Project is doing to close gaps in care and access

·       What doulas actually do and how they can transform the birth experience

·       How partners and support people can show up more effectively

At its core, this conversation is about ensuring families feel seen, heard, and supported during one of life’s most vulnerable transitions.

Whether you’re preparing for birth, supporting someone who is, or passionate about maternal health -  this episode will leave you more informed and more connected to the kind of care every family deserves.
