Hi everyone! Welcome to the So You Had a Baby podcast, episode 32. This week we decided to replay one of our most popular episodes, Growth in Motherhood with Megan Caldwell. Megan is a powerhouse in every sense of the word, and we are just so excited to share her interview with you guys again.
Of course, we wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving and we will meet you back right here in a couple of weeks with a new episode. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy this throwback with Megan Caldwell.

Nikki: Hey guys! Welcome to the So You Had a Baby Podcast, Ep. 08. In today’s episode, we will be interviewing Megan Caldwell. Megan Caldwell is mom to three busy kiddos (Connor 8, Cameron 5.5 and Charley Jeanne age 3.) She is wife to Bo and owns and operates FIT4MOM Cedar Mill in NW & NE Portland, offering pre & post natal fitness classes, as well as community events and support for moms in ALL stages of motherhood. As a collegiate athlete with a background in education, leading FIT4MOM programs and helping moms find strength in motherhood combines three of her biggest passions - educating others, staying active and spending time with her children. When she not busy in her business, Megan enjoys running, coffee dates (or wine dates!) with girlfriends, and spending time outside with her family.
Krista: You guys, we just loved this episode for so many reasons. Megan and Fit4Mom were such a huge blessing in both of our postpartum and it meant so much that we got to hear her story and we cant wait for you to hear it as well.

Hello and welcome back to the So You Had a Baby Podcast, Episode 30! This week we had the pleasure of chatting with Ren Johns. Ren is a teacher, mom of 2, and founder of PDX Waitlist. She helps families in the Portland-Metro area find child care through classes and family consults so that every parent can have the inside scoop on what quality care looks like and which great providers have openings in the next few months. She also runs a website where families can find dozens of area daycares and preschools, schedule tours, apply online, AND instantly see where they stand on the waitlist. We hope you enjoy this week's episode :)
Stay tuned!

Krista: Hello and welcome back to the So You Had a Baby Podcast, Episode 29! We all know that there is a lot of change that happens in our body during pregnancy and after giving birth. These changes can affect us physically and emotionally as we transition into motherhood, and because of that, we thought it would be appropriate to start a short series on postpartum body changes.

Nkiru: Hi everyone, Welcome back to the So You Had a Baby podcast episode 26! Before we get started with today’s episode, we wanted to share a sweet review from one of our listeners, jordandiane26. She says, “Listening to this podcast has been so helpful for me as I prepare for my journey into motherhood. I have found each episode to be so helpful in offering many perspectives on the postpartum period. I also very much appreciate the focus on positivity and giving yourself grace! I would recommend anyone who is pregnant, wanting to become pregnant, and especially those who already have kids to take a listen!”
Nkiru: Lauren Woodworth and Chandler Lettin were introduced by a mutual friend in 2015 when they were living parallel lives, both pregnant and in the throes of enormous home remodeling projects. After having their babies and the dust had settled, literally, Lauren and Chandler began seriously discussing what it would take to start a company together. Fast forward three years later in March 2019, the two ladies officially launched AVYN, an athletic nursing bra company. The way they put it is, “Together they are tackling this business venture the way they tackle motherhood- figuring it out as they go, making mistakes, and having fun in the process.”

Hi everyone, and welcome back to the So You Had a Baby podcast, episode, 25! Last week on IG live we discussed the importance of self-care, what that looks like, and as a mom, how to deal with any guilt that comes along with it. Krista and I both shared our personal experiences and thought what better way to talk more about this topic than replaying an episode favorite. So today, we thought it was appropriate to share episode 11 on mom guilt and how to deal with it. We hope you guys enjoy today’s throwback! Review and subscribe if you do, and don’t forget to join us on IG live every other week!

MOM GUILT! Yep its a real thing! It's the annoying internal nagging voice that makes every mom question whether she is enough. We’ll cover what mom guilt actually is, what causes it, share our personal experiences with it, share how to deal with it, and help you shut that voice up! So tune in, you’re not going to want to miss this one!

Krista: Hello everyone! And welcome to the So You Had a Baby Podcast, Episode 24. Today, we had the pleasure of speaking with Eva Klein. Eva is a mom of 3, a recovering lawyer, a Certified Infant and Child Sleep Consultant, and the owner and founder of My Sleeping Baby and the Sleep Bible program. Eva’s main goal is to assist her clients in establishing healthy sleep habits for their children. After experiencing the debilitating effects of chronic sleep deprivation from her two children, Eva was inspired to help families overcome their own sleep challenges. She truly empathizes with her clients’ sleep troubles and personally invests herself in their sleep journey.
Nikki: Eva was a joy to speak with, and her energy was contagious. Her story and passion for what she does is incredible. Eva shared awesome tips and advice that could help every mama in their postpartum. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did.
