July 11, 2023 3 Positive Impacts of Social Media on the Motherhood Experience
Impacts of social media come up A LOT - for a good reason. I mean social media arguably does play a massive role in our day-to-day (even if you don’t actively use it). We are living in a social media world, no doubt.

But in this episode, I’m taking this conversation somewhere I haven’t heard too many people take it - and that is exploring the benefits that social media has had on the motherhood experience. So often, we focus on the downfalls of raising kids and mothering in a social media era. But I recognize that in some ways, the world has changed for the better. I am sharing 3 positive impacts that social media has had for mothers (and myself, personally) with the hopes that we can all approach the conversation with a little more gratitude (even when a critical lens is still needed).

June 20, 2023 How To Set & Hold Boundaries In Motherhood
In this episode, we are getting into boundaries in motherhood - both how to set and hold boundaries to protect our time, energy, and well-being. This is a topic that I definitely don’t think is talked about enough - especially for mothers - so we are diving right in!

We are getting into the how-to, but also taking some time to understand why so many of us aren’t so great at boundaries in the first place, and how learning to set and hold boundaries can positively impact our lives (and the lives of those around us).
