We're Winging It

Kristy and Kalea reflect on the year and say a big "see ya!" to 2020.

What does it mean to raise resilient kids?  How do you talk to your child about anxiety?  How do you balance wanting what's best, without putting too much pressure on your kid?  

This week Kalea and Kristy sit down with one of the most incredible school counselors out there, Denise Ozeri.  Denise discusses her journey to become a counselor, her experience with supporting kids through the pandemic, and how distance learning is really affecting students.  Kalea and Kristy ask her all about the mental health issues she sees while supporting students, and how parents can be on the look-out for signs of mental health struggles in their children.  Denise shares her number one tip for how you can create a pattern of healthy communication with you child and help them build resilience.  This episode is for every parent!  Let us know what you think!  

This week Kalea and Kristy talk self-care.  No, not doing a mask or getting a pedicure, but all the basic human needs that often go unmet once we have kids.   If you are stressed, overwhelmed or anxious, this episode is for you!  Kalea and Kristy go into detail about ways to set healthy boundaries, have conversations with your partner about self-care, and how to tell when its time to get some extra support.  They share their own experiences and share concrete tips that have helped them manage stress and anxiety this year.  Enjoy! 

Ever wonder what are the must-haves for baby?  We got you!  Thrifty Littles is a website all about daily deals for the modern mama.  This week Kalea and Kristy sit down with the creator of Thrifty Littles, Cat Pagoaga.  In this interview Cat discusses the origins of Thrifty Littles and how she turned a passion project into a thriving business.  She talks about being a mom, wife and business owner, and what it actually takes to run a successful business from home.  And you KNOW we had to ask her about her favorite items for babies, kids, and of course, mama!  Enjoy! 

This week we interview Dr. Kalea Wattles, a Nautropathic Physician specializing in fertility and functional medicine.   We asked Dr. Wattles all about optimizing your chances for conception, preparing your body for a healthy pregnancy, the right foods and supplements to take during pregnancy, and how to take care of your body postpartum.   Dr. Wattles also shared with us all about the future of her practice and how she is finding balance as a mom and full-time doctor.  We absolutely loved chatting with Dr. Wattles and can't wait for you to hear all of this amazing information!

Welcome to We're Winging It!  We are so excited to meet you and get to know you a little bit better!  Our goal for this podcast is to share information and tools through the stories of our guests.  Today we get to share a little bit about our own backgrounds and what led us to create this podcast!  We also talk about what to expect as you listen each week, and how to share your own ideas with us.  We are thrilled to begin this journey with you and so happy that you're here! 

Welcome to We're Winging It! We are two moms who are enthusiastic about having real conversations with other parents: hearing unique perspectives on raising little humans while balancing work, relationships and passions outside of parenthood.  On this podcast you will find information free of judgement through helpful, empowering stories -  but most importantly reassurance that you’re doing a great job.  Our hope is to build a community where you will feel validated and supported on this journey called parenthood. We’re here every step of the way, so pull up a seat!  The coffee might be lukewarm but the conversation’s not.  We’re all just winging it!
