We're Winging It

The tables have turned! This week, Kalea's sister Erika interviews us all about our husbands, our kids, love languages, why Kalea refuses to wear jeans, and more! 

This week we sat down to chat with Sarah Markel, mama to a little boy, Pediatric Speech-language Pathologist and RIE/Respectful parenting enthusiast.  She talks to us about ways we can encourage language development with our kids and also some ideas for implementing the RIE method into our daily lives.  You can connect with her further on her Instagram, Raised With Respect (https://www.instagram.com/raised.with.respect). 

We're back and discussing the topic of mom shaming! We talk about having empathy - which is the antidote to shame - and reminding ourselves that just because someone does something differently than you, doesn't mean its wrong. Plus, we discuss exactly what to say when someone mom shames you! 

As always, we are here to support you during the messy and the beautiful moments in parenthood. And remember - you're a really good mom! 

This week Kalea and Kristy speak with a true super-mom!  Angie Kahler is a rockstar mama of five, yes FIVE!  In this episode you will hear about Angie's journey to becoming a mom, how to build healthy relationships between siblings, creating an effective routine, managing expectations, how to be a true teammate with your partner, and all her tips and tricks to raise healthy, happy humans!  

This week Kalea and Kristy discuss one of the biggest sources for mom guilt:  Do you go back to work or stay home after having children?  This episode dives into managing changes in identity, finances, parter expectations, and how exactly to figure out what is the best choice for your family.  Kristy and Kalea share their own experiences and the factors that helped them find the right balance between their careers and having enough time at home.  

This week we chatted with Britt, the founder and CEO of the Little Feminist Book Club! We chat all about feminism being intersectional, which means it’s anti-racist, body-positive, trans & gender non-conforming inclusive, and challenges ableism & classism.  Plus, we ask Brittany how her perspective on work and the mission of Little Feminist have evolved since she became a parent 5 months ago.  Enjoy! 

Kristy and Kalea discuss their favorite "mom hacks" - a tool or technique that makes some aspect of a parents life easier or more efficient. 

This week's episode is all about fitness for mama!  Deanna and Joy are the trainers and pre/postnatal specialists behind the fast growing fitness brand Sculpt Daily.  These two moms are entrepreneurs who are passionate about helping moms live more fully through safe and effective fitness.  They share strategies for starting a fitness routine postpartum, how to power up your exercise routine, healthy meal ideas, and how they find balance in their own lives!

How many kids do you want?  How far apart should your kids be? How do you know when you're done having kids?  

Ever had these questions?  Us too!  In this episode Kalea and Kristy talk about going from 1 to 2 kids, and maybe even 2 to 3!  This week is all about age gaps, balancing being pregnant with parenting a toddler, being on the same page as your partner, and knowing what it feels like to be done having kids.   

This week we ask an elementary school teacher, Katherine, all about educating kids on Zoom, how we can best support teachers everywhere, and what advice she wishes all parents knew.
