Welcome back to the New Mom Boss Podcast! In this episode, I’m covering twelve common vocab words related to pregnancy and delivery. These are words that you may or may not have heard before, but they are certainly good to know for when you go to doctor's appointments, talk with other mamas, or are about to give birth.

 Some big takeaways are:

1. Follow the 5-1-1 rule when timing contractions.
2. Offering colostrum to your newborn is SO important!
3. If you don’t know where to begin when preparing for your baby, it’s not your fault!

I hope this episode helps you or refreshes your memory! Take a listen and check out more resources in the show notes! https://www.newmomboss.com/blog/89

Welcome back to the New Mom Boss Podcast! Preparing for a baby hasn't changed much in the last century, and because of this, it’s important now more than ever to prepare for your baby in what I like to call The New Era Way.

In this episode, I talk more about this new era way of preparing for your baby, where new moms-to-be go from being more than just excited-but-unprepared and transition into the new bonded mama. They remove the emphasis on the “stuff” and rightly place it on other areas that are much more impactful on the new mom journey.

 Some big takeaways are:

1. “Baby stuff” is good, but it won’t make you THRIVE as a new mom.
2. Learn about and grow the S5 Pillars.
3. Do you need a New Mom Assessment? Reach out to me for support!

I hope this episode helps you think a little deeper about preparing for your baby’s arrival. And as you’re processing this information and you start wondering if you need guidance, consider signing up for a New Mom Assessment!

This is a 1-hour call where you and I work together to take a closer look at where you’re at with baby planning, assess your S5 Pillars, we'll create an action plan for you moving forward, and even do a baby registry audit. I’d love to walk through this information with you and be a part of your support team!

Welcome back to The New Mom Boss Podcast! In today’s episode, I want to shed some light on a very unseen and underdiagnosed postpartum condition that affects not just new moms, but new dads. This condition is a specific form of postpartum depression known as Paternal Postpartum Depression or PPPD.

Some big takeaways are:

1. 25% of new dads suffer from Paternal Postpartum Depression (PPPD).
2. PPPD has a wide range of symptoms and risk factors.
3. Strengthen your relationship with your partner before the baby arrives, to ensure good communication and support. 

This topic is being newly researched and discussed which is fantastic, but there’s more work to be done. So now that I am more aware of it, and you are more aware of it, let’s keep doing our part to educate others and encourage deeper conversations with the new dads in our families and communities!

Whether they realize it or not, every new mom is embarking on a spiritual journey in motherhood. What better way to take this journey than to learn as much about it as possible! 

In this episode, I’m joined by Chiara Townley, a spiritual coach for moms-to-be. After suffering a traumatic birth in 2020, she developed postpartum depression and anxiety. 

But through deep spiritual work, she was able to radically heal herself, transforming her personal challenges into her life’s mission. She now helps moms-to-be let go of their anxiety and align with their soul’s path so they can enjoy the powerful gift of motherhood.

In our conversation, Chiara shares more about her story and what led her to become a spiritual coach, we discuss the Chakra healing system and how it’s connected with our bodies, the importance of developing our intuition, spiritual contracts, and so much more!

Some big takeaways are:

1. Our mental battles can manifest themselves physically and pass on to our children.
2. When we clear our anxiety, we can develop our intuition more.
3. We don’t have the children we want, we have the children we need.

In this episode, I’m with Brooke Simonson a Certified Nutrition Coach & Sustainable Weight Loss Expert. Brooke is on a mission to help as many people as possible lose weight for the LAST time without giving up carbs, counting every calorie, eating “clean” 24/7, or other unsustainable extremes.

We discuss the myths or misconceptions related to weight loss, common mistakes women make in their approach, and her tips for navigating weight loss during the upcoming holiday season!

Some big takeaways are:

1. Weight loss shouldn’t make you miserable!
2. Learn about the 3 A’s - Awareness, Attitude, Accountability.
3. Small and gradual changes are your best friend!

I loved hearing about Brooke’s approach with her clients, and her encouragement to enjoy our lives, not to restrict them.

Welcome back to The New Mom Boss Podcast! In this episode, I’m joined by Chanel Hogue, a wife, mama of two, Birth Doula, Virtual Doula, Childbirth Educator, and Lactation Educator.

Chanel believes women should experience the empowering and beautiful birth they deserve THE FIRST TIME. By providing education, resources, and support, she helps to prepare mamas to have a birth that is beautiful, pain-free, uninterrupted and empowering.

In our conversation, she tells us about her birth experiences - how her first birth went from induced labor to an emergency C-section. After experiencing a much different and natural birth the second time around, she realized that pain and fear don’t need to be a part of every birth story.

Some big takeaways are:

1. When creating a birth plan, consider different birthing scenarios.
2. Learn to advocate for yourself with your providers.
3. Birth does not have to be full of fear and pain! If you expect that though, it will probably happen.

We also discuss her tips for new mamas when crafting their birth plans, advocating for a gentle cesarean, and the many differences in giving birth in a hospital versus a birthing center.

I think Chanel’s perspectives are so valuable, and her knowledge is so educational for women who don’t know what to expect before delivery. She is the perfect example, showing that your birth can be a magical and fulfilling experience worth remembering!

While breastfeeding might seem like the most natural thing in the world, it can sometimes feel like anything but. In fact, there are several common issues that can occur while breastfeeding that can severely impact the journey for new moms.

In this episode, I shed light on the most common breastfeeding issues I see in nursing moms and provide different ways each problem can be treated. This will better prepare new moms and equip them for if/when they see the first signs of a breastfeeding problem from their newborn. 

Some big takeaways are:

1. Breastfeeding issues are common with each new baby.  
2. While you can’t always prevent these issues, effective treatment is easy and available.
3. There’s no shame in asking for help!

Nutrition is an extremely important aspect of preparing for a baby. We want to make sure our bodies are in good health during pregnancy and passing along all the quality nutrients to our children. 

But did you know that our bodies can also pass along harmful toxins to our babies?

Today on the podcast, I’m talking all about this topic with Brian Brezinski, a nutritional consultant who helps women optimize their nutrient levels before and during pregnancy so they can give their children the best start in life.

Brian also shares more about how he helps his clients by using hair analysis to measure the minerals and toxic metals in the body, so he can provide them with the proper nutrition recommendations. We also discuss our culture’s approach to prenatal care, the severe symptoms of burnout many women experience daily, child vaccines, and more!

Research shows us that chronic sleep deprivation has a severe impact on our cognitive, physical, and emotional functions (which is basically everything). So as a new mom, getting your newborn baby to sleep is of UTMOST importance. 

Talking with me is Eva Klein, the founder of My Sleeping Baby and the Sleep Bible program. After experiencing the debilitating effects of chronic sleep deprivation from her middle child, Eva was inspired to help families overcome their own sleep challenges.

In our conversation, she shares more about her story and what led to her rude awakening, her top tips for moms with newborns, and even more on how to approach sleep training at any age, plus its benefits.
