My son had an outburst and it was a direct reflection of me. As moms we can hold onto a lot of frustration and resentment before we blow, but when we do pop a gasket, it isn't pretty! In this weeks episode I talk about what went down with my toddler, how I am taking it as a learning experience, and why mom rage - and showing emotions in general - is so important for our developing kids. 
I also rant a bit about Christmas and wonder how I'm going to manage the holidays this year, especially when I'm feeling kind of blue. 
DISCLAIMER: I have a section about Santa with warnings to either stop listening or remove yourself from the vicinity of your kids!

As my son turned 3 I noticed a big shift in his development, specifically his behaviour towards me. These toddler years are testing all aspects of my mental health, confidence, and decisions on parenting but it is so rewarding. 
In today's episode I talk about how these changes are affecting my parenting, how I'm being kind to myself through these years and where I hope this journey will ultimately be beneficial for my kids. I also cover how social media comparison makes parenting harder, since we have access to short clips of so called perfect parenting.

As a stay at home mom I feel the weight every day of my importance on my family. I also feel the scrutiny and lack of acknowledgement for my service from the greater public, especially online. Stay at home parents are so undervalued by society and although we are fighting to prove that we are essential and our time is valuable, we have a long way to go!

In this episode I talk about all the reasons why SAHMs are unappreciated, join me in the fight to make our voices heard.

Tired of hearing the phrase, "it takes a village!" but you never have support? Are you also tired of people telling you, "you chose to have kids, they're your full responsibility!" ?? 
I am!
Today I'm howling about why it's so hard to raise kids when the village doesn't exist as it used to, why it is something that is no longer available, and really why it benefits everyone to have a community who supports all children.

In this episode I talk about the 3 things I've been hearing more since bringing home my second child. These are common phrases we hear as parents that are said with good intentions but usually have a darker, more guilt trippy meaning behind them. 

Changing the rhetoric around parenting is a goal of mine, and that starts with taking accountability for having said these things myself, and going forward with the conversation with change in mind.

In this episode I talk about the different periods of anxiety women face through their motherhood journeys. Post partum anxiety is not a topic that is talked about enough, but it also doesn't just affect us after the baby is born, it can start at conception! 
I give you some helpful tips on what to do if you are experiencing anxiety to a detrimental degree, and share with you my struggle with generalized anxiety and how that affected both of my pregnancies. 
October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, if you are suffering through this time, please reach out to someone. I know I kept my story silent for a long time out of fear. You do not deserve to suffer in silence.

In this weeks episode I talk about what the "baby blues" can look and feel like and how to reach out for help if you are feeling like something is missing after bringing your baby home. I give you a few tips from personal experience about how to know what you're feeling, and validate that they are just as important to acknowledge as post partum depression. 
Our mental health is crucial after we come home from the hospital, so please contact a professional or medical provider if you are having larger symptoms of post partum depression or anxiety.
