Picking Daisies

Sleep is essential and basic but one of the biggest points of contention in the motherhood arena. And my take: mind your own business but also, sleep train if you want to sleep train. Don't is you don't want to. Simple. So for all my mamas out there feeling conflicted because this argument can be quite confusing, lets sit with someone who knows and can help. Molly Leighton, from Sleep Shore, is here today to tell us all the facts and give us pointers. There is no shame in wanting good sleep for yourself. It's not a badge of honor to be tired. It's not a mark of a good mom to feel like shit.

In the wake of the tragic news coming out of Duxbury, MA last week, it's time to talk. It's time to educate and put postpartum depression and support in the limelight. Because this can't happen again. But it might. So come and get comfortable and start at the first line of defense with education. Because if you're a mom, its time we get to know the darkness at hand. It's time we screen from the rooftops what this can look like. Because we aren't alone in it.

Answer this: if you were set ablaze, would your kids still come to you asking for a glass of juice?

Come join host Mary Hendricks & Emily Dickt, as we dive right on in and talk being the default plus so much more.

Of course in true Mary fashion, things are a little chaotic and of course that's how this episode went with a good chunk of it not recording. But that won't stop us because what we do have is gold and that's because I have Kim Perry joining in. So down to earth, realistic and in the trenches just like the rest of us. Learn how Kim has grown on social media & fitness business, her own personal journey in health during pregnancy and beyond, along with having 3 kids. You'll hear all about the struggles/successes associated with it all and walk away feeling like I did: as though you've known Kim for years.

Don't forget, starting JAN 15, Kim and I are pairing up for a first time, one of kind challenge: FEEL MARY WITH PERRY. 12 weeks, this will be different than other New Year fitness challenges you might see. Why? Because this one is about more than just aesthetics or weight loss. This is about the whole YOU. The mom YOU. No new year, new you bullshit. Just the same YOU but nourished through support and movement. Daily 5-minute journaling, short & effective movement programs, and monthly zoom calls. You will not want to miss this!
