Manu’s story is very similar to mine, in that she had to call in the help of a professional to sleep train her firstborn because she was already pregnant with her second. And it worked after only three nights!

Manu then became a pediatric sleep consultant to help other parents and new moms get over the same sleep struggles, while also working as a certified parent coach and postpartum doula.

In our conversation, we talk more about setting your baby up with proper sleep habits, why parents are apprehensive to sleep train, and the importance of mimicking the womb in the fourth trimester. 

 Some big takeaways are:

1. Sleep training should not happen until the baby is about 15 weeks of adjusted age. 
2. Holding your newborn extra will not spoil them!
3. New moms need at least 4-hour stretches of sleep to support their health.

Ligaya Lange gave birth to her daughter during COVID following a traumatic 54 hr/C-section birth. A few weeks later, she realized she was suffering from very bad anxiety that was preventing her from bonding with her baby. And so began a long and arduous journey to find the right treatment and get well for her family. 

In our conversation, we talk about the differences between standard anxiety and postpartum anxiety, how it can prevent proper bonding with baby, the signs and symptoms women can be on the lookout for, and what their first steps should be when seeking treatment.

 Some big takeaways are:

1. Women with a history of mental illness are more prone to prenatal and perinatal mental disorders.
2. Your primary doctor cannot help you as well as a perinatal psychiatrist can.
3. Even if you’ve never suffered from a mental illness as a mom, you can help others by being educated and aware.

We are both at a point where we have a lot on our plates, making life quite overwhelming. Our conversation is about how the exhaustion in motherhood can be all-consuming, leaving little energy to be the moms we want to be.

 Some big takeaways are:

1. Pursue harmony, not balance.
2. You can’t do everything all at once perfectly, and that’s okay.
3. Going with the flow is a mindset that’s needed in the postpartum period.

Even with an active life and healthy habits, Liz gained a lot of weight in both of her pregnancies but was able to lose it all by leaning on discipline, consistency, and simple habits.

In our talk, she shares the circumstances surrounding her pregnancies, how exactly she was able to lose the weight and keep it off, and her tips for creating consistency and a healthy mindset.

 Some big takeaways are:

1. Weight loss is not linear and you can’t put a time stamp on it.
2. The more you focus on your mindset, instead of the outcome, the better off you’ll be.
3. Motivation comes from action, not from willpower.

I was joined by Dr. Ashley Hocutt, Julie Fernandes, and Stephanie Trzaska, who helped answer some of my questions about ways in which they prepared for their babies, the most shocking aspects of postpartum life, as well as advice related to what they’d do differently.

 Some big takeaways are:

1. The media portrays a very unrealistic view of the postpartum season for mothers.
2. There's a difference between getting ready for the baby and getting ready to be a new mom.
3. One of the best things that will help other pregnant women is to talk about our real-life experiences.

My guest, Tavia Redburn, is a birth photographer and business owner who teaches other birth photographers how to specialize and get certified so they can go full time. 

We talk about how she got her start with birth photography, get a behind-the-scenes look at how a session works, and discuss all of the important things to keep in mind when trying to preserve memories on that special day.

 Some big takeaways are:

1. Birth photography is a great way to keepsake those moments you can’t get back.  
2. Don’t make your partner take photos for you. Let them enjoy the moment with you instead!
3. Knowing your options and making an informed decision is one of the best gifts.

The focus of Holly's work is on minimizing trauma and enhancing satisfaction through this transformation in new parents' lives. We discuss the current healthcare system, the benefits of Birth Story Processing, and the impact that newborn delivery can have on not just the mom and baby, but on the partner and the healthcare team as well.

 Some big takeaways are:

1. Birth can be traumatic, even without interventions. 
2. It’s possible to reframe how birth stories are remembered.
3. Partners experience their own version of the birth story, one they might also need to process out loud.

Catherine is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the founder of Happy With Baby, which she created in order for new parents to discover the advice she wishes she could have had as a parent.

Together, we discuss her background in starting Happy With Baby, how couples can work to reconnect with each other, as well as what it means for new moms to find their lost sense of self postpartum. There are also some bonus topics that came up along the way that I definitely want you to hear!

 Some big takeaways are:

1. It’s not a competition; it’s about partnering together to support one another. 
2. Before baby, talk about what you want; after baby, talk about what you need.

I recently went onto her Youtube channel to talk about putting your home on autopilot before your baby arrives and I knew it would be helpful information to get new moms thinking! I talk about the problems I faced during my first postpartum experience, as well as my go-to tips for putting your home on autopilot. 

I also share about the Prepping For Postpartum workshop, which has already begun - BUT if this interests you, you can join the waitlist for the next workshop by using the link below! 

 Some big takeaways are:

1. The mother’s self-care gets lost in the postpartum period.
2. Putting your home on autopilot helps to free up your capacity to be present.
3. We need to shift our mindset from only prepping for the delivery, to also prepping for postpartum.

If this is a new concept to you, then you’re definitely going to want to listen and get started!

My goal for this podcast has always been to educate pregnant women and first-time moms about the motherhood journey - from the first trimester all the way to postpartum. But what I’ve found is that most women will place all of their time and energy into researching the delivery, with little to no time devoted to creating a plan on how to survive the postpartum period. 

Birth lasts a short time when compared to everything else a new mom goes through!

 Some big takeaways are:

1. Don’t just do what everyone else has done.
2. Postpartum plans should NOT be unheard of.
3. There’s a chance that birth could be the easiest part of your new mom journey.

We all need a little help every now and again. Why not use what time is left in your pregnancy to get my help in preparing for your new future?! 

The Prepping For Postpartum Workshop is starting on March 18!

 This is a 5-day virtual event, where together, you and I will create the BEST postpartum plan for you. You don’t have to feel lost, confused, anxious, or afraid of what lay beyond your baby’s birth.

3. My upcoming Prepping For Postpartum Workshop helps you prepare the 5 most impactful pillars you NEED in your postpartum plan!

She uses her work to guide women through transitional life seasons, like milestone aging, breakups, new careers,...etc. But today, we’re talking specifically about postpartum and how clothes can support new moms. 

 Some big takeaways are:

1. Our clothes are on the outside, but they can affect how we feel on the inside. 
2. Plan ahead! Think about what you want to feel like in that new phase.
3. With fashion, it’s not about how many clothes you have, but how you wear them.

Except I wasn’t. My guest, Brenna, Ruiz, has a story very similar to mine, proving that knowing something is vastly different than experiencing it.

Brenna is a self-care advocate, professional writer, and mom of one from Minnesota. She started "What About Mamas?" after having no idea how to take care of her own needs after having her son.

In our conversation, she shares more about the circumstances surrounding her traumatic birth, her tips for moms on how to prepare well before delivery, and more about her monthly motherhood self-care community, Village. 

 Some big takeaways are:

1. While there are some things you can’t prepare for, there is still so much you CAN know ahead of time.
2. It truly takes a village.
3. While postpartum might feel isolating, you are not alone. There is a community of women feeling the SAME as you!

PCOS is already very common, but it just seems like more and more women are experiencing it these days. Jessica explains more about what the diagnosis is, what the defining symptoms are, and how it plays a massive role in women’s fertility.

She touches on her own experience with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and how it propelled her to pursue her career in helping others, as well as the importance of making simple shifts to one’s nutritional health before, during, and after pregnancy, that can actually affect the next generation!

 Some big takeaways are:

1. Always seek out the root cause of your symptoms. 
2. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects fertility for many women, but it can be reversed through diet and lifestyle shifts.
3. Women’s nutritional habits affect their egg cells in advance - 90 days to be more precise!

This was such an amazing conversation with Jessica - she is so knowledgeable and I just know that you’re going to have even more takeaways when you give it a listen! I hope it helps you as your prepare for the greatest journey ever!

Hiring a nanny can be an overwhelming process for new parents. I’ve had friends who were forced to go a different route because they got so caught up in the information and process, they ran out of time. And I truly don’t want this for you!

1. Starting with your needs and wishes is the most important step when beginning the nanny search.
2. If you’re not convinced, consider giving your nanny candidate a short paid trial!

In this episode, Dominique goes into detail about what Sophrology is, how it can help us become more intuitive, and ways we can rely on the practice in our everyday lives to gain more energy and confidence, focus on the present and work towards our values and goals.

In motherhood, women have their fair share of stressful situations, high anxiety, and even burnout. Dominique actually specializes in all of these areas and provides us with some tips on how moms can incorporate Sophrology to help reduce, manage, and prevent those intense moments. 

 Some big takeaways are:

1. Sophrology can help you find your center, boost your energy and confidence, and keep you present. 
2. Having the proper awareness of the mind-body connection is key for new moms.
3. Have the philosophy “little and often” when creating new habits.

So for this episode, I’m offering an encore to episode 8 of the podcast, all about the ins and outs of breastfeeding. In it, I go deeper into the parts of breastfeeding that may not be widely discussed, I explain the anatomy and science behind breastfeeding, the complete process, more of the benefits, and how skin-to-skin actually helps to promote it. 

 Some big takeaways are:

1. Skin-to-skin immediately after birth is beneficial to both you AND your baby.
2. It’s the frequency that matters most when breastfeeding.
3. A proper latch can make or break your breastfeeding journey.  

There’s so much information, you’ll definitely want to keep this episode in your back pocket! Learn more by visiting the show notes! https://www.newmomboss.com/blog/92

 Some big takeaways are:

1. Focus more on harmony in 2022, than balance.
2. Practice gentleness for where you’re at in your season of life. 
3. Keep your dreams and goals in sight. They may have to wait, but they’ll still be there!

Remember that just because motherhood is demanding, it doesn’t mean we have to lose sight of the special goals and dreams we have for ourselves. And the more you prepare for motherhood beforehand, the more likely you’ll be able to pursue those goals sooner after having your baby.

In this episode, I talk more about this new era way of preparing for your baby, where new moms-to-be go from being more than just excited-but-unprepared and transition into the new bonded mama. They remove the emphasis on the “stuff” and rightly place it on other areas that are much more impactful on the new mom journey.

 Some big takeaways are:

1. “Baby stuff” is good, but it won’t make you THRIVE as a new mom.
2. Learn about and grow the S5 Pillars.
3. Do you need a New Mom Assessment? Reach out to me for support!

Some big takeaways are:

1. 25% of new dads suffer from Paternal Postpartum Depression (PPPD).
2. PPPD has a wide range of symptoms and risk factors.
3. Strengthen your relationship with your partner before the baby arrives, to ensure good communication and support. 

This topic is being newly researched and discussed which is fantastic, but there’s more work to be done. So now that I am more aware of it, and you are more aware of it, let’s keep doing our part to educate others and encourage deeper conversations with the new dads in our families and communities!

In this episode, I’m joined by Chiara Townley, a spiritual coach for moms-to-be. After suffering a traumatic birth in 2020, she developed postpartum depression and anxiety. 

But through deep spiritual work, she was able to radically heal herself, transforming her personal challenges into her life’s mission. She now helps moms-to-be let go of their anxiety and align with their soul’s path so they can enjoy the powerful gift of motherhood.

In our conversation, Chiara shares more about her story and what led her to become a spiritual coach, we discuss the Chakra healing system and how it’s connected with our bodies, the importance of developing our intuition, spiritual contracts, and so much more!

Some big takeaways are:

1. Our mental battles can manifest themselves physically and pass on to our children.
2. When we clear our anxiety, we can develop our intuition more.
3. We don’t have the children we want, we have the children we need.
