We sat down with Human Design expert Erin Claire Jones to talk about how this personality-meets-energy system can actually make parenting easier.

From understanding your own needs as a parent to better supporting your kids' unique personalities (yes, even the wildly independent, nap-fighting toddler), Erin shares practical ways to use human design in everyday life.

Here's what we learned in this episode:

* How knowing your design helps you parent YOUR way (not social media's way)

* The surprising connection between energy types and burnout

* Why your kiddo's design might explain their EPIC bedtime procrastination

* Why words of affirmation hit different for some of us

Whether you've never heard of Human Design (like Amy) or already deep in the charts (like Christina), this one will have you rethinking how you show up—for yourself AND your little ones.

Starting solids can feel exciting and terrifying all at once—because, let’s be real, there’s an overwhelming amount of (often conflicting) advice out there. Do you start with purées? Is baby-led weaning the way to go? What about choking risks? And are you actually ruining your baby’s relationship with food forever if you don’t introduce solids the “right” way?

Enter: Jenny Best.

Jenny is the founder & CEO of Solid Starts, the go-to resource for parents navigating the wild world of feeding babies. In this episode, she drops some serious knowledge bombs that completely shift the way we think about baby food—like why spoon-feeding isn’t actually necessary, how self-feeding reduces choking risk, and why gagging is a good thing (yes, really).

We also get into: 🍽️ The biggest myths about starting solids 🥕 Why babies don’t need teeth to eat real food 🚫 How pressuring kids to eat backfires 📉 The outdated feeding advice still being given by pediatricians

If you’re ready to stress way less about feeding your baby, this episode is for you. Grab your snack of choice (no purées required) and hit play! 🎧 #WhatIWishIKnew #StartingSolids #ParentingUnfiltered

Postpartum recovery can feel overwhelming, confusing, and, let’s be honest, a little lonely.

From navigating physical changes to learning how to care for a newborn, it’s a lot—and one area that often gets overlooked is pelvic floor health.

In this episode, Jessica shared her expertise and her personal journey to shed light on postpartum recovery, pelvic floor basics, and how to advocate for your own care. Here are the key takeaways from our conversation.
