Shut up, mom!

We are thrilled to share Maureen's story with you all! Mo is one of the most resilient and fierce mama's we know. We are honored that she entrusted us with her story of heartbreak and healing.  And we hope by listening you find a safe space.

On this episode of Shut up, Mom! we have the pleasure of speaking to Cerissa. A mom who has been through it all and is so open and willing to be to share her story. Cerissa is an amazing mom who is also part of the LGBTQIA+ community and has used her openness as a way to create a bond between her and her child. We are so excited to be able to use our platform to uplift her voice.

In this episode we talk about our journey with depression during and after pregnancy, having the baby blues and what helped us during that time. We wanted to provide you with some info if you or someone you know needs helping dealing with depression: National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255, Suicide Prevention Hotline: 1-800-SUICIDE, National Postpartum Depression Warmline: 1-800-PPD-MOMS

In this episode we have our very first guest, Bethany's mom Laura who is more affectionately called Lala. We get to discuss her time as an Air Force wife and the community she was able to build and be a part of in Germany with three little ones. She gives us advice on how to build our village and there's a little sneaky surprise at the end that is worth the wait. 

This week we will be talking about something really beautiful: Our bodies! It's a difficult topic for many (let's be honest, ALL) of us. Our three hosts share their struggles with their body and how pregnancy has made them look at their bodies in a new light. We'd like to put a content warning along with this description to let y'all know that depending on where you are in your body journey this episode might not be for you. 

This week on the podcast we share our birthing stories! The good, the bad and the super sad. We bare ourselves in hopes to bring some ease to all who may be getting ready to give birth and to let y'all know, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Oh yeah, and we also talk about sh*tting ourselves.
