Welcome back to the New Mom Boss Podcast! OBGYNs are an integral part of the pregnancy journey. But there’s a problem in our culture when we over-rely on them for not just pregnancy, but the whole postpartum period. They might be great at delivering babies, but that doesn’t mean they’re an expert on the human body and all of its intricacies.

Joining me to talk about this further is Tanya Tringali, the owner and founder of Mother Wit Maternity. She is a Certified Nurse-Midwife on a mission to provide wellness services that promote optimal pregnancy outcomes, safe and satisfying birth experiences, and ease the transition into parenthood. 

In this episode, we discuss the differences in postpartum care between the current healthcare system and midwifery, what the current system provides, and the things that should be advocated for elsewhere. 

We also talk about the strain of parenting on relationships, the importance of community, and hear more about Tanya’s approach to postpartum care. 

 Some big takeaways are:

1. We need to demystify the role of an OBGYN.
2. It’s not the consumer’s job to know what they don’t know or identify what’s wrong with themselves. 
3. Don’t wait until the situation is critical to find proper support.

Welcome back to the New Mom Boss Podcast! New parents often wonder how they are supposed to get quality sleep when their baby gets up every few hours. My guest Manu Brune and I explore this topic and discuss how to encourage proper sleep habits in babies so that everyone can benefit!

Manu’s story is very similar to mine, in that she had to call in the help of a professional to sleep train her firstborn because she was already pregnant with her second. And it worked after only three nights!

Manu then became a pediatric sleep consultant to help other parents and new moms get over the same sleep struggles, while also working as a certified parent coach and postpartum doula.

In our conversation, we talk more about setting your baby up with proper sleep habits, why parents are apprehensive to sleep train, and the importance of mimicking the womb in the fourth trimester. 

 Some big takeaways are:

1. Sleep training should not happen until the baby is about 15 weeks of adjusted age. 
2. Holding your newborn extra will not spoil them!
3. New moms need at least 4-hour stretches of sleep to support their health.

Welcome back to the New Mom Boss Podcast! My guest today is on a mission to make other women more aware of perinatal mental illnesses like postpartum anxiety and OCD.

Ligaya Lange gave birth to her daughter during COVID following a traumatic 54 hr/C-section birth. A few weeks later, she realized she was suffering from very bad anxiety that was preventing her from bonding with her baby. And so began a long and arduous journey to find the right treatment and get well for her family. 

In our conversation, we talk about the differences between standard anxiety and postpartum anxiety, how it can prevent proper bonding with baby, the signs and symptoms women can be on the lookout for, and what their first steps should be when seeking treatment.

 Some big takeaways are:

1. Women with a history of mental illness are more prone to prenatal and perinatal mental disorders.
2. Your primary doctor cannot help you as well as a perinatal psychiatrist can.
3. Even if you’ve never suffered from a mental illness as a mom, you can help others by being educated and aware.

Welcome back to the New Mom Boss Podcast! My guest, Markella Kaplani, has seen many moms suffer from an identity crisis in motherhood, coupled with the guilt and shame that tend to tag along. In our discussion, we talk about her personal story of a difficult postpartum, the problem of viewing motherhood as a role, matrescence and the motherly instinct, and the conflicting tension between being a successful mother and being a successful woman in today’s society. 

Markella is a psychotherapist and a special educator focused on helping expecting and new mothers by addressing this potential identity crisis with confidence, making sure they feel validated and empowered.

 Some big takeaways are:

1. Motherhood is something we grow into.
2. Our brains actually change as new moms, forcing us to refocus on new priorities. 
3. Not everything about motherhood is instinctual - some of it has to be learned.

Welcome back to the New Mom Boss Podcast! My guest Heather Ratych has made it her mission to help new moms by guiding them through all of the emotions that come with pregnancy and postpartum at her Ontario-based perinatal and maternal mental health clinic, Bloom Psychotherapy. 

As a Psychotherapist, Reproductive and Perinatal Specialist, and mom, Heather is all too familiar with the messages that torment women in this stage of life, and is passionate about supporting them in feeling grounded, confident, and connected. 

In our conversation, we talk about overwhelm, specifically how that looks in motherhood, what contributes to it, and why it’s so difficult to simply ask for help. 

 Some big takeaways are:

1. Everyone experiences overwhelm - no one has life completely figured out.
2. Know your internal dialogue and what you’re saying to yourself.
3. Don’t treat self-care as “extra”, but as a normal part of your routine.

Welcome back to the New Mom Boss Podcast! My guest, Michelle Noble, joins me to talk about handling fear and other new mom emotions in motherhood. After struggling with the delivery of her first baby and a difficult postpartum season, Michelle eventually discovered a set of tools that actually worked to make every area of her life easier and happier. She's now passionate about sharing those tools with other mamas via her energy therapy and coaching business, The Calmer Mom Project.

In our conversation, she shares more about the tools of Access Consciousness that transformed her second delivery. We also talk about pregnancy emotions, specifically anxiety, and how we let previous experiences inform our future (even when they’re not even our story).

 Some big takeaways are:

1. Learn to step into the energy of “allowance”. 
2. Practicing receiving support during pregnancy will make it easier to accept postpartum.
3. You are the greatest gift you can give your baby.

Beth is a marriage coach who helps conscious moms who are feeling unsupported grow in self-awareness to create the marriage they and their children deserve.

She also dives deeper into 6 key steps that lead to personal growth and stronger relationships. 

 Some big takeaways are:

1. Parenting and marriage are very intertwined. 
2. If a relationship is unhealthy, it’s almost never just the other person. 
3. Our energy, positive or negative, impacts our kids.

Welcome back to the New Mom Boss Podcast! Our health as moms is so important because of the amount of influence it has on the people around us. And I know my latest podcast guest agrees with me!

Her name is Kristen Noriega and she is a busy homeschool mom of four, a registered dietitian nutritionist, and host of the Baby Weight Nutritionist Podcast. She’s been working with moms for over seven years as a go-to for simple nutrition, fun workouts, and creating a healthy family culture.

Together we discuss the good and bad associated with weight loss and “baby weight”, the importance of nutrition in the whole family, and how to incorporate healthy habits into motherhood. We also touch on her tips for creating a fun family culture, and the power of positivity.

 Some big takeaways are:

1. Move into a position of body neutrality. 
2. Instead of focusing on what to take out, focus on what you can add.
3. When you do the work on yourself, you impact your family.

Welcome back to the New Mom Boss Podcast! I’ve heard it said that having kids will strengthen your marriage. And while that’s a nice thought, it’s not exactly the whole truth. To help flesh out this topic is my guest Julia Barbaro, a certified life and marriage coach, an author, wife, and a homeschooling mom of six kids. 

Julia's passion is to empower couples to strengthen their mind and their communication, overcome obstacles, and seek clarity. Together, she helps them create a life plan for themselves as well as encourages parents to guide their children to adulthood.

In our conversation, we talk about how motherhood impacted her marriage, and some key tips she’s learned for prioritizing her spouse as a new mom. We also touch on how to grow a relationship with our kids and open the door for impactful conversations and gestures.

 Some big takeaways are:

1. Disagreements are inevitable, so communication is key.
2. We have to look at our partners differently. 
3. Motherhood is sacrificial.
