Send us Fan Mail
In the depths of postpartum, intimacy is often one of the first things to go.

Women are tired, touched out, disconnected, and overwhelmed. When we need our partners the most, we often find ourselves pushing them further away.

Today we are sitting down with Jen Melville, a sex and relationship coach that specializes in helping women reclaim their relationships and sexuality postpartum.

We are laying it all out there in this conversation. It is possible to prioritize intimacy and our close relationships after kids.

And not only is it possible, it is also what you and your family deserve.

February 07, 2023How to Become a Conscious Parent with Bryana Kappadakunnel EP 98
Send us Fan Mail
Truth bomb: parenting is about the parent, not the kids.

Becoming a great mother is a lifelong journey, and it actually begins the moment we are placed in our own mother's arms.

Conscious parenting is not just about raising children, it's also about healing our own wounds and recognizing our own triggers.

Today we are sitting down with Bryana Kappadakunnel, the incredible voice behind Conscious Mommy. She is here to help us shift the paradigm around what it truly means to have and raise children.

You will never look at conscious parenting the same way again.

January 31, 2023Science is Extremely Limited for Women and Mothers EP 97
Send us Fan Mail
Science is necessary and so valuable to the maternal health space. It is also extremely limited in ways that can be detrimental to women and mothers.

In order to truly advance, this MUST be acknowledged.

This is so important to me that I created an in-depth training for Postpartum University members. We discuss everything from the financial and male bias to ethical concerns in pregnancy and beyond.

Today, I'm sharing part of that training with you so that we can all have a greater understanding of science, its impact, and how we can work within these limitations.
