Resilient Moms

In this week's episode of Resilient Moms, we're talking about the mental load of motherhood—being the default parent, house manager, and the importance of clear communication with your spouse. We dive into how essential it is to connect, communicate needs effectively, and avoid assumptions about who’s doing what around the house. Karah and Brittany discuss how enabling behaviors and poor communication can lead to frustration and resentment, and share strategies for having candid, authentic conversations without putting the other person on the defensive. We'll also explore the brain's emotional and logical responses when we feel overwhelmed, and how to "flip the lid" to create a more understanding, supportive partnership. This episode offers practical advice for sharing the mental load and fostering a balanced, thriving home life.

In this episode of Resilient Moms, we dive deep into understanding what trauma truly is—and what it’s not. We explore trauma as a body's response rather than just an event, how it can be passed down through epigenetics, and even how it can occur at birth. We discuss the coping mechanisms and adaptations that arise from trauma, often showing up in unrecognizable ways like anxiety, self-doubt, and people-pleasing.

Join us as we define trauma, debunk common myths, and share how our own experiences led us to create this podcast.
