Instead of a NY Resolution, I'm Doing THIS

The Honest Mom Podcast ·

2023/01/19

Last year I tried something new for the new year and my goals. Instead of a New Year's Resolution, I chose a WORD OF THE YEAR. My best friend, Bridgett, shared this technique with me as she went through her yoga teacher training (which a huge part of it is self discovery) and I loved the idea. Last year my word of the year was TRUTH. This year, my word of the year is... EXPAND This new goal worked for me last year and so far, this year as well. I've done more in a few weeks to EXPAND than I have in

Finding Bravery with Boundaries in Motherhood with...

2022/12/22

The word "boundary" doesn't have to be a scary one, but often setting boundaries goes against what we were modeled growing up so it feels scary to broach the subject with family and friends. My conversation with Dr. Jessica increased my understanding of boundaries and the importance of talking about this topic. Everyone has to encounter setting boundaries at some point in their life. Boundaries are a way to create space, take care of ourselves mentally, and let others know what we are comfortable or

How Fitness Can Actually WORK with Motherhood with...

The Honest Mom Podcast ·

2022/12/08

We are often encouraged, whether it's through the media, cultural expectations or our own thinking that we have to "get our body back" quickly after having a baby. This may lead us to working out too soon and too hard, and often results in burnout. I'm so grateful for my conversation with Lisa Dienes, where we talked about the misunderstandings of our bodies and working out after the birth of a new baby, and more importantly how to gently ease back into fitness. One of the main themes presented by

Connecting With Your Postpartum Wellness with Kelly...

2022/11/25

Learning to support ourselves in our postpartum journey can be a struggle. Especially when we are battling the stigma that moms are being selfish for wanting (and needing!) more than to just be with our babies 24/7. We often try to do it 'all' and then feel like we have let someone down if we can't. There are many factors that can lead to this idea of disconnect from our feelings and our own needs, but ultimately we have to tune into our values and ask ourselves, "Who do I want to be?" My guest

Time management and motherhood! It seems those two things will never be inclusive of the other. But that doesn't have to be the case. Before starting her own business, Megan Sumrell worked for over 20 years in the software/IT space as a Quality Architect, creating systems and processes to turn chaos into harmony. And she was good at it! But once she became a mom everything she knew became foreign to her and her old way of doing things wasn't working. So that's when she started to treat herself like

After a traumatic birth experience, including an unplanned c-section, Cat Gieser struggled both physically and mentally after the birth of her first child. She found a lack of support for maternal wellness and when she confided in her OBGYN about her postpartum struggles she was simply dismissed and offered drugs without any thought to what else could be done. After her experience, Cat knew she wanted to help moms in her same situation. "It's a dark feeling and you shouldn't have to do it

Do you feel a pull to be both a mother and pursue outside interests? Maybe it's starting a business. Maybe it's working for someone else outside the home. Maybe being a full-time SAHM is exactly where you want to be, but you want to carve out some time for your personal interests and hobbies so you don't lose yourself in motherhood.

Once upon a time I made a vow to myself that I would never live anywhere other than the great city of Chicago. I LOVED Chicago! I planned to live in the city forever, raise my kids there, and never, ever leave. Well, "never say never" because life has a funny way of making us eat our words. What was it about the suburbs that had me leaving the city kicking and screaming? What was it about what the city symbolized in regard to my identity vs what the suburbs symbolized for my future?

A Slippery Slope With Mommy Wine Culture with Shelley...

"MOMMY NEEDS WINE!", "Mommy Juice", "It Takes a Village, and a Vineyard", "Time to Wine Down". The amount of t-shirts, mugs, wine glasses, and other memorabilia may seem clever and cute at first. But is it? Normally I'm not a party pooper and I'm far from a "Karen", but lately this movement of mommies coping with booze is really affecting me.

"So often we wear busyness as a badge of honor. Or glorify productivity to the point where we don't even know what we're pursuing or why we are chasing down that goal anymore. Busyness can rob you of fruitfulness. The pressure to be productive can rob you of peace. Breathe. Regroup. Thrive." -Susan Narjala Do you find that when someone asks how your'e doing, your natural response is, "I'm so busy!"? Do you hear your friends respond in the same way? Busy with what?
