Welcome to my Tent

What a fun one today! I got to catch up with my pal, Todd. Todd is a fellow fitness teacher who recently made the move to open his own studio, The Den.

Todd has such an amazing mindset around fitness and how he approaches his programming and community within The Den. He walks us through how he got started with fitness and what is important to him with what he has built.

This is a great conversation to listen to for anyone who has done fitness forever or is just getting started. Todd is doing the work to break the barriers of what fitness is, how we should view it, and making it inclusive and fun. He takes all his experience from his years of teaching and has put that into his studio today.

It's the birthday episode!!!!! Today I am 34 and will be chatting about the 34 things I have learned in 34 years. 

I took some time to think about this list and embrace all that I have learned so far in this life. Some of this I talk about here or on social, some of it is not. 

Getting older is such a blessing because of all that life teaches us. 

Maybe some of these resonate with you. Not all have too! It is simply some insight into my brain.

Taking a deep dive into body image over the years. 

This one is a personal one. It is also something I struggle to find the words for sometimes as a person with a body that is deemed acceptable by society (which I don't agree with...but is sadly true). 

I walk through my journey on how from a young age my body was scrutinized, how that showed up in various parts of my life, and where I am now. 

Body image is a hard topic and one that many have experienced thoughts with. This is simply my journey and path.

What a fun episode we have today. We are joined by Aimee Karas, who is an all around amazing woman.

Aimee shares how she decided to originally go down the path of single parent by choice. She walks through egg freezing, sperm adoption, her IVF process, and the challenges of some of her journey.

Worth noting, she also moved from Chicago to Philly, got pregnant, and found the love of her life during this whole process. What a wild ride!

Aimee, thank you for sharing your story. There is no right way to make a family, and yours is gorgeous.

Fine Aimee here!

Oh boy do we have a topic LOTS of parents think about... a lot....BABIES SLEEP!!

We are joined today by Ann Marks, the founder of Full Feedings Method. Duke and I have been a long time user of her method. We adore her approach to infant sleep. She has a structured, easy to digest, and approachable method that helps parents gently aid their little ones (and themselves!) those sweet dreams.

Ann is a beautiful human inside and out. She  opens up about her background, her own family, and how she views motherhood. She is a force to be reckoned with, and I highly encourage anyone stressed about their kids sleeping to listen.

We go deep into a solo episode today in how I have been told my entire life I am "too much" and how that has shown up. I am too sensitive. I am too emotional. I am too dramatic. Guess what? That is me. 

I talk about how I have put in a lot of work to be who I am today, even if that is scary. I dive into unpacking parts of myself that I am not proud of, but have pushed me to where I am right now. I talk about how I view things that have been looked at negatively and turned them on it's head. I embrace me for me. 

I also cry in this episode, which is pretty on par for my "too much"-ness. 

A piece of my heart is here today. Thanks for listening.

What a TREAT to have one of my oldest friends into the tent. Ashley Campbell Birnbaum gives us all the details on how she started her interest and career in events and how that has spurred into owning her own business, Ashley Campbell Events.

We talk about how her previous roles in galas, fashion, and at WWD set her up to venture out on her own, what starting looked like, and how she views working with her clients. She pairs that with tackling big life events at the same time (like moving across the country and having a baby), and what makes her job so fun.

Ashley is a GEM on this earth. This episode is about events, but also so much more. She shares with us how she views life, tackles the good and the challenging, and how she shows up in this world.

I hope you enjoy Ashley as much as I do!!

Talking today ALL things about my journey with breastfeeding. 

A disclaimer to start, I do talk heavily about how my drastic over supply was my challenge. While I think my story is important to tell, I want you to protect your heart first. Many women I have spoken too struggle with the opposite, and if this is something you are not in a place to listen to, SKIP! 

I talk about the initial days in the hospital and trying to get Ronan to latch. Switching to exclusively pumping early on. I chat about how challenging a severe oversupply was to manage logistically, physically, mentally, and emotionally. I also share how I view feeling my son today and the why's behind I stopped BF all together. 

This is a deeply personal one, but a truth to my experience as a mother.
