The Dr. Amber Show

I felt terribly stuck.

And I’m here to talk about it because there is a narrative about motherhood that we NEED to redefine. 

The past month was tough for me, and I’m glad to have this space to share pieces of my life with you all. It makes motherhood all the more bearable knowing the other mamas might be navigating the same difficult emotions as I am. It means I’ll eventually get from point A to B. And it means you will, too.

There are many messy truths about being a mother, and if you’re struggling to embrace and conquer them, then this episode is for YOU. I want you to know you are never alone.

There is a lot of stigma around Individualized Education Placement (IEP) and common misconceptions about special education, which is why the need to debunk these myths and rewrite these conversations is part of how we fulfill our purpose as millennial moms. Our access to resources is abundant, and our children need us to advocate for their needs now more than ever. 

In this new episode, we talk about the basics of IEPs and Special Education and how crucial it is that parents involve themselves in advocating for their child’s education and, in turn, empowering them to advocate for themselves too. 

Our children deserve the best, and we want to make sure they live in a world where they don’t have to tiptoe around anyone.

Coming into motherhood and navigating this journey doesn’t look the same for every mama. Motherhood is hard. Motherhood is work. Motherhood is hardly one thing at once—it is everything all at once.

But you don’t always have to put a brave face on. In this new episode, one of our Empower Wellness Mamas, Dr. Marjorie Shavers, shares an incredible story of breaking and becoming and finding wellness as she navigates motherhood as a mom of a child with special needs. 

It is always wonderful to hear stories from different mamas. It’s a reminder that it’s not just us, and we are built to make it through. 

Tune in to hear more inspiring words from Marjorie—you might need this one, too 🖤

Whatever we think, we become. 

Shifting our thoughts and beliefs about money is something that our financial coach (with a mindset!), Tiffany Burns, continues to empower mothers and women who grew up believing that money is a taboo. But as millennials, we know we have a place at the table. We can get behind the wheel and take control of our finances. We can break free from the stigma.

Tune in to feel as empowered as Mama Tiffany as she talks about financial wellness and how motherhood has put a lot of things in perspective for her.

You’re not supposed to just survive motherhood. You’re supposed to thrive in it. 

You can set bigger goals for yourself. 

You can claim that space because you need it. 

You can take small, manageable steps and still call it progress.

That’s why we have community—to empower mamas like YOU. In this new episode, one of our Empower Wellness Mamas, Brittany Bean, shares her inspiring story of transformation as she navigates motherhood. This amazing mom has had her fair share of experiences in establishing space for herself, setting up boundaries, and making a decision to be in a community of supportive moms. 

Lay back and listen to be encouraged by Brittany’s story! 🙌

There are no perfect parents. Only human beings capable of making mistakes and giving themselves grace.

We just CANNOT have enough of these powerful insights from our Supernova Momma, Natasha Nelson! In this new episode, we focus more on positive parenting & discipline and what that looks like for moms struggling to find that balance and lightheartedness in motherhood.

Part of positive parenting is self-reflection. Many of us have patterns to unlearn, triggers to manage, and traumas to heal from. And we are all here to rewrite a lot of narratives about ourselves as moms and millennial women.

Don’t miss out on some 🔥 advice from the Supernova Momma herself!
