The sunk cost. The fear of what people will think. The fact that you can't see the whole staircase yet.

These are the lies keeping you stuck in something you've already outgrown.

This week's permission slip is for the woman whose intuition has been telling her it's time, and who just needs someone to say: you're allowed.

The friendships that used to fit. The community that made sense at a different season. The relationships that worked until you started evolving — and they didn't.

Outgrowing people doesn't make you disloyal. It makes you someone who is paying attention to who you're becoming.

This week's permission slip is for the woman standing in the in-between — not quite who she was, not yet fully who she's becoming — and finally giving herself permission to release what no longer fits.

This is episode 100. And this week we're doing something we never do: stopping to acknowledge how far we've come.

This one is for the woman who keeps moving without celebrating. Who sees the milestone and immediately looks past it to how much further there is to go. Who undermines her own accomplishments because they don't feel hard enough to count.

They count. You count. And you're allowed to want more AND celebrate where you already are.

Drop your win in my DMs or leave a voice note, I want to celebrate you.

You've been justifying your choices to people who were never going to understand them anyway. The pivot. The business. The woo. The vision that lives in your heart that you can't quite put into words yet.

Here's the truth: you're not over-explaining for them. You're doing it to outsource your own discomfort. And their comfort was never yours to manage.

This week's permission slip is for the woman who is done defending a life other people didn't get the memo for.

You missed a workout. You went quiet on social media. You skipped a week. And now you're treating yourself like you've failed.

You haven't. Consistency is a tool, not a measure of your worth or your commitment. What actually matters is that you keep coming back.

This week's permission slip is for the woman in the gap between where she is and where she thought she'd be by now.

You've been spinning too many plates, and you're terrified to let any of them fall.

But here's the truth: not all plates are created equal. Some are glass. They matter deeply and if they shatter they cannot be repaired. Some are Corelle. Practically indestructible. They will survive the fall.

This week's permission slip is about figuring out which is which, and giving yourself full permission to let the Corelle hit the floor.

Wanting Time Alone Doesn't Make You a Bad Mother | Speak, Mother

You love your kids. And you are also touched out, overstimulated, and desperately craving five minutes of silence. Both things are true. And only one of them is making you feel guilty.

This week's permission slip is for the mother who can't remember the last time she had time that was truly hers.

This is the episode I've been building toward.

I'm turning 40 this week. And I have some things to say: about what my thirties gave me, what I'm shedding as I walk into this decade, and who Speak, Mother is actually for going forward.

This is a love letter to the women who have been here. And a declaration for the woman who is just finding her way in: She's the woo woo mother entrepreneur. She pulls oracle cards before strategy calls. She trusts her intuition AND her spreadsheet. She's building something with legacy on her mind and she's done waiting for permission.

If that's you, stay. Pull up a chair. This is about to get good.

You've been taught to make yourself more digestible. More palatable. More acceptable. To lead with your credentials instead of your perspective. To deflect the praise for work you built and led. To wait until you're more ready, more qualified, more something.

But here's what that performance is actually costing you.

This week I'm talking about what happens when you strip away every external marker of success — the title, the income, the degrees — and sit with what's left. Because what's left? That's the magic. And it was always you.

Have you ever evolved — genuinely grown, shifted, become someone new — but the external pieces haven't caught up yet? New you, old job. New you, a business model you've outgrown. New you, relationships that feel a little tight now.

That gap between who you're becoming and where you currently are is disorienting. And nobody talks about it honestly enough.

This week I'm sitting in that middle place with you — and asking the question my therapist asked me that I haven't been able to stop thinking about: what is this costing you?

May has the same chaotic energy as December and we're not talking about it enough.

The recitals. The field trips. The volunteer asks. The party you forgot to RSVP to. And somewhere underneath all of it: something of your own you're trying to protect.

This week I'm talking about how I'm actually navigating this season without losing my mind or my vision. It's a quick episode, like a voice note from a friend, because we're all busy.

Crystal is 38, single, living in Southern France, and in the middle of her IVF journey. By choice and on her own terms. And she is so clear and so at peace with this decision it will make you question every time you've waited on someone else's timeline.

We talk about the breakup that started it all, 13 years of undiagnosed endometriosis, what French healthcare made possible that American healthcare never could, and why she's done outsourcing the thing she wants most in the world to someone else's emotional readiness.

We also get into woo, witchcraft, the suppression of the feminine, and why the village that used to raise our children has disappeared and what it's costing us.

You'll have a good day. Feel proud, capable, like yourself. And then something will happen. A number on a screen, a bill, a reminder of the reality you're living in. And just like that, the good feeling collapses.

This week I'm not pretending I have it figured out. I'm telling you what it actually looks like from inside of it: the whiplash, the spiral, and the small unglamorous things that pull me back from the edge.

Including the thing my therapist helped me realize that I keep coming back to: I have a 100% track record of surviving my worst days. And so do you.

This one is for the mother holding hope and despair in both hands right now. You're not alone. And this isn't forever.

What do you do when your job is making you miserable, your gut is screaming, and you have no backup plan?

If you're Kimberly Scanlon, you quit. You take six months off to recover your nervous system. And then you take a part time job at a hair salon and you don't look back.

This week I'm sitting down with my friend and Minnesota mom of two Kimberly Scanlon, a storyteller and micro consultant with a background in mental health. We talk about what it actually looks like to walk away from a career that no longer fits, how to redefine success on your own terms, and why doing it differently might be the most aligned thing you ever do.

This one is for the mom who is quietly wondering if there's another way.

Drop me a note and tell me what you're reclaiming. 

You may notice something different about this episode. It's dropping as Episode 86, not Episode 15.  That's not a mistake.

When I relaunched Speak, Mother earlier this year I reset the episode count to one. But the more I sat with it, the more wrong it felt, because I didn't start over. I evolved. And the 70+ episodes behind this version of the show deserved to be counted.

This episode is my story: the teaching career, the operations job, the layoff, the grief, the postpartum fog, and the breadcrumbs that led me exactly here. And it's an invitation for you to look at your own path and ask: what have you been tempted to erase that actually counts?

Your pivot counts. Your pause counts. Your messy, nonlinear, nobody-could-have-planned-this path counts. All of it.

Life has been a lot lately. Not in a vague everything-is-fine kind of way, but in a just-trying-to-get-to-the-next-day kind of way. And in the middle of it, I've been paying attention to what's actually helping. Not the aspirational stuff. The real stuff. The accessible stuff.

This week I'm sharing the small, unglamorous, deeply nourishing things getting me through a hard season and making the case that they might actually be the medicine.

Plus I want to hear from you: what are YOU reaching for right now?

Sadness isn't one of the seven deadly sins, so why does it get its own chapter in On Our Best Behavior? Because the same culture that turned human impulses into moral failures has spent centuries teaching us that grief is an inconvenience. That there's a timeline for falling apart, and you're already past it.

This week, we're exploring what it actually costs us to rush through grief — our own and everyone else's. From the losses that come with casseroles to the ones nobody names, this conversation makes space for sadness of every size and depth.

We also talk about why women so often end up metabolizing the feelings of everyone around them, what ambiguous loss actually is, and why grief isn't something you move on from — it's something you move forward with.

Your sadness is not a character defect. It's proof that something mattered.

What happens when women get angry? We get called shrews, bitches, hags. We're labeled unstable, dangerous, dramatic. Meanwhile, men's anger gets results, respect, and recognition.

This week, we're exploring why women have been taught that anger is unfeminine and dangerous, and what it's costing us. From the physical health consequences of suppressed rage to the way we teach girls to turn their anger underground, this conversation examines why reclaiming our relationship with anger might be the most important work we can do.

We dive into anger as information about unmet needs, why "niceness" is literally making us sick, and how our fury might actually be pointing us toward our deepest values. If you've been feeling angry but don't know what to do about it, this episode is for you.

Why do we expect perfection from ourselves in the one job that's guaranteed to be messy? Why do we think one mistake will traumatize our children forever? And what actually shifts when we finally give ourselves permission to be human?

Fran Medina returns with 35+ years of motherhood wisdom. She's raised two kids to adulthood, is about to become a grandmother, and has the gift of perspective on what really matters.

This conversation explores the self-criticism that plagues mothers, why repair work matters more than perfection, and the emotional resilience tools that actually help. We dive into the overwhelm of activity culture, the importance of honoring your own rhythm, and why showing your children that you're human might be the most healing thing you can do.

If you're constantly questioning whether you're doing it right, this episode offers the permission and perspective you need to finally ease up on yourself.

What happens when wanting things feels dangerous? When pleasure feels selfish? When you've been taught to be the object of desire, never the subject with desires of your own?

This week, we're diving into Lust, and it's not what you think. This is about the full spectrum of desire: wanting experiences, growth, pleasure, and joy. It's about how women have been conditioned to deny our own needs, disconnect from our bodies, and apologize for taking up space with our wants.

From the shame around sexuality to the guilt about wanting anything beyond survival as mothers—this episode explores why reclaiming our desires isn't selfish, it's essential. Because when we show up as whole, desiring, embodied humans, we give permission for everyone around us to do the same.

If you've ever felt guilty for wanting more, this conversation is for you.

This episode is part of a multi-part exploration inspired by the work of On Our Best Behavior by Elise Loehnen. You don't need to have read the book to tune in. You’re welcome to join wherever you are.

What happens when life strips you down to nothing—and you discover that's exactly where your power was hiding?

Andrea Gibson is our most downloaded guest episode and she's back! This conversation goes deep. After navigating metastatic breast cancer with fierce grace, Andrea returns with hard-won wisdom about following your inner voice, even when it leads you somewhere you never expected.

We dive into the panic attack that changed everything, why peace became non-negotiable, the breadcrumbs that led her from dance teacher to psychic medium, and how cancer forced her to trust her body in ways she never had before. This is a conversation about breaking the "good girl" rules, following nudges that don't make logical sense, and learning that two things can always be true at once.

If you've ever felt like you're not hearing your own voice clearly, or you're afraid to follow where your intuition is leading—this episode will remind you that you already have everything you need inside you.

What if the way we talk about each other's bodies is actually making things worse? What if diet culture's grip on women is stronger than we realized? And what if the solution isn't another set of food rules, but joy?

This week, I'm joined by registered dietitian Hannah Koschak for a deep dive into the gluttony chapter of On Our Best Behavior. We explore why women struggle with food and body image, how weight stigma shows up in everyday compliments, and what it really takes to build a healthy relationship with eating.

Hannah brings years of clinical experience and a passion for fighting diet culture. This conversation goes beyond food rules to examine the subconscious patterns, the all-or-nothing mentality, and the joy deficit that keeps so many women stuck in cycles of shame and restriction.

If you've ever felt guilty about food, struggled with body image, or wondered how to model something healthier for your kids, this episode is for you.

Do you ever undersell yourself because asking for more feels "greedy"?

Do you ever apologize when quoting your rates? 

Do you ever think you should just be grateful for what you have instead of advocating for what you're worth?

You're not alone. And it's not about the money. It's about the stories we've been told about what we deserve.

This week, we're exploring why women have such a complicated relationship with money, wealth, and asking for what we're worth. We dive into the difference between worth and value, how our conditioning around money shows up in everything from salary negotiations to pricing our services, and what it looks like to build a healthier relationship with financial security.

Wanting financial stability isn't greedy. Asking for your value isn't selfish. And building wealth can actually be an act of service to your family, your community, and the causes you care about.

What happens when a woman is proud of herself? When she celebrates her wins without apologizing?

If you've been conditioned to believe that pride is dangerous, that being "too much" will cost you friends, safety, or likability, this episode is for you.

This week, we're diving into why women have been taught to shrink, stay humble, and never claim their gifts. We explore what we're teaching our daughters when we downplay our own abilities and why it feels safer to be underestimated than celebrated.

Your playing small serves no one. Shining brightly gives other women permission to do the same.

What if the difficulty you've experienced in female friendships isn't actually about you, but about something we've all inherited?

In this episode, I'm joined by Katherine Phifer, a mentor in feminine energetics and leadership. We dive deep into the sisterhood wound—a generational pattern that affects how women show up in relationships with each other and explore what it takes to build authentic, life-giving friendships as mothers.

We explore:

• What the sisterhood wound is and where it comes from
• The difference between friends, community, and your village 
• The language we use about other women and what it reveals

This episode shows us that you can show up as yourself and be in relationships that are life-giving and authentic, but it requires conscious work to heal the patterns we've inherited.

Envy is one of those things we’re not supposed to talk about, especially as mothers. But what if it’s not something to fix or suppress, but rather to examine?

In this episode, Shannon explores envy as a signal rather than a flaw. The moments where other women irritate us, trigger us, or make us uncomfortable often point to desires we’ve learned to ignore, downplay, or explain away.

We talk about comparison, judgment, generational conditioning, and the quiet ways women are taught to stay small, and what becomes possible when we get honest about what we actually want.

This isn’t a call to self-improvement or confidence-building.
It’s merely an invitation to notice what stirs, without rushing to make meaning of it.

This episode is part of a multi-part exploration inspired by the work of On Our Best Behavior by Elise Loehnen. You don't need to have read the book to tune in. You’re welcome to join wherever you are.

Before we talk about rest, we have to name why it feels so loaded in the first place.

In this episode, Shannon explores the concept of sloth, not as laziness, but as something that became morally charged over time and why so many mothers feel caught between exhaustion and guilt. She reflects on overfunctioning as protection, the pressure to earn rest, and the often unspoken belief that worth is tied to output.

This is an invitation to notice the rules we absorbed without realizing it and how they live in our bodies, our nervous systems, and our relationships.

Before we talk about fixing motherhood, we have to name the system we inherited. 

In this conversation, Shannon explores patriarchy as inheritance rather than ideology, why “being good” became the organizing principle for so many women’s lives, and how motherhood makes these patterns impossible to ignore.

This is not a book report or a call to self-improvement. It’s an invitation to notice what we’ve been handed, what it’s cost us, and what might be ready to change.

We’re back. And it’s not just a return. It’s a reclamation. 

In this first episode of Speak, Mother, I share what led to the rebrand, the evolution behind the mic, and why this show is becoming a sacred space for honest conversations about motherhood, identity, and the systems we’re all pushing against.

I also introduce a book we’ll be exploring together in the coming weeks: On Our Best Behavior by Elise Loehnen. It's a powerful lens for understanding modern motherhood and the cultural pressures we’ve inherited.

In this episode, Shannon sits down with Stephanie Patton Jones, an inspiring artist, military spouse, and mom who took the leap from a corporate career to following her passion for painting. Stephanie shares her journey of self-discovery through the challenges of solo parenting during her husband’s deployment, balancing her art business with motherhood, and building a supportive community of fellow military spouses. With an unwavering belief in pursuing passions, she offers advice on embracing creativity, seeking help, and showing our kids that we can do what we love. Join us as Stephanie reminds us of the beauty in following your calling—even when it means redefining your path as a mom.

About Stephanie:
"After years of working in corporate America I was burnt out and grumpy. My husband was deployed, and I needed an outlet that could help me release the stress of solo parenting while he was gone - so I picked up my brushes again.

After not having painted in over four years paintings just kept pouring out of me. I quickly realized this was something I finally needed to pursue full time. Little me would be so happy to know I finally followed my dream of being a full-time working artist. 

You'll often find me in my home studio with my three critters (Sweet Pea our little black kitty, Roxy the Doxy and Teeny my toddler). 

If you are interested in adding a touch of nature's beauty to your home or office, I invite you to explore my collection of original paintings or prints. Each artwork is meticulously crafted with attention to detail and a commitment to quality. From serene marshes to majestic mountains, there is a piece that will resonate with your personal aesthetic."

About Christine:
When Christine Landis became a mom 5 years ago, she naturally leaned into the luxury of time in parenthood.

At Peacock Parent, she applies the “time is money” principle to parenthood so that busy executive parents can proudly buy more time to enjoy the good life they’ve worked so hard to build.

This week, Bianca Sprague joins us for a powerful conversation about motherhood that will challenge your perspective. Bianca shares the transformative journey of her early days of motherhood through undiagnosed postpartum depression in an unsafe domestic setting. Bianca candidly reflects on her initial struggles to bond with her daughter amidst feelings of rage and shame. We explore the raw emotions of early motherhood, the pressure to be a "good mom," and the societal structures that leave mothers feeling unsupported and unseen. We delve into Bianca's pivotal decision to pursue doula training as a means of protecting birth and finding the support she lacked. Through her work in reproductive health and justice, Bianca has found her purpose and created a global reproductive health movement spanning 49 countries. We also explore the distinction between the work of motherhood and the relationship of motherhood, as well as the unique challenges faced by queer parents. Bianca's insights urge us to foster understanding as “We can get way more done in our sameness.” Bianca also shares actionable tips for busy moms to find community and rediscover their identities beyond motherhood. Get ready to be inspired and reminded that you're not alone in this journey.

About Bianca:
Bianca Sprague is a passionate educator and advocate in the doula community, focusing her expertise on supporting women and queer individuals in the fields of fertility, birth, and postpartum care. As a self- identified ‘super lesbian’ and a dedicated mother, Bianca brings a unique perspective to her work, emphasizing the importance of balancing professional doula responsibilities with personal life, especially for mothers. She is deeply committed to addressing issues like queer care, combating fatphobia in medicine, and exploring women’s rage and its implications. Bianca’s journey into this field was born from personal challenges; as a new parent grappling with postpartum depression and limited support and resources, she turned to doula training to transform her life. This path led her to create bebo mia, a response to the gap she experienced in her initial training and lacked massive amounts of critical content as well as practical business guidance for doulas. Bianca’s mission extends beyond doula care to teaching effective service business management, encompassing community building, client care, and efficient systems for working parents in the healthcare sector.

Hey everyone, it's Shannon here! In this solo episode, I delve into my personal journey through motherhood, loss, and empowerment. Despite opening up the floodgates to guests on the podcast, I realized the importance of sharing my own story, prompted by the feedback from those close to me.

I kick things off by introducing myself as a midwest mama of two girls, with a background in education and a passion for empowering mothers. Reflecting on my move from Michigan to North Carolina for a teaching job and later transitioning into the private sector, I share the challenges of balancing career ambitions with the demands of motherhood.

The birth of my first daughter, Emerson, was a turning point that revealed the harsh reality of postpartum struggles and the lack of support for new mothers. Battling postpartum depression in silence, I highlight the importance of destigmatizing mental health challenges in motherhood.

As life threw unexpected curveballs, including the return of my father's cancer and his subsequent passing, I found myself reassessing priorities and seeking empowerment. This led to pivotal decisions, including leaving my job and embracing new opportunities for growth and fulfillment.

I recount the surreal moment when I was laid off from my job, a catalyst for embracing change and launching the "Having a Mom Moment" podcast. Through it all, I've learned to trust my journey, find strength in vulnerability, and empower other women to thrive amidst life's challenges.

Join me as I share the raw, unfiltered story of my journey, offering insights, inspiration, and a glimpse into the transformative power of embracing one's own narrative. Let's navigate motherhood, loss, and empowerment together.

This week I host my dear friend, Katherine Phifer. In this episode, Katherine, a mother to 14-year-old twin boys and an angel daughter, shares her journey of resilience and spiritual growth amidst challenges like her daughter's passing and her own battle with Crohn's disease. Katherine delves into the profound concept of "soul yes" - those instinctive, undeniable calls to action that guide her life. She reflects on the transformative power of saying yes to oneself, even if it means bucking societal norms like the relentless kids birthday party circuit or after-school activities. Emphasizing the importance of aligning with one's inner truth, Katherine discusses the shift towards embracing the mystery of life and trusting in the divine feminine energy within each of us. Join us as we explore the sacred journey of self-discovery and the wisdom of listening to the whispers of our souls in a world that often demands conformity over authenticity.

Having been a published author at the ripe old age of 10 (okay, so it was for an elementary school poetry contest, but still!), she has woven the soul of her story into her many careers, and despite being only 5’2”, has had the opportunity to flex her growth muscles on all these journeys, most notably in the newest role of Mama. Her mission is to facilitate the healing process for others, guiding them to breathe into their own capacity to heal themselves and take control of their emotional and physical health. Her approach is collaborative and grounded through a Trauma-Informed lens, empowering clients in building a path to wellness, one step at a time. Focusing her practice primarily on supporting caregivers, she offers individualized coaching and corporate group classes through her company, Wellness Creek Consulting.

Key Takeaways:

1. Breathwork encourages us to pause and be. It helps us to bring ourselves in, ground, and center. Breathwork is consciously shifting the rhythm of our breath to support different experiences and different systems within. It helps us clear away the debris to get to the root of how our nervous system is/is not responding to things around. 
2. You can model breathwork with your children. They naturally respond to breath patterns to support them. Their bodies will naturally help bring their systems down.You can get playful with it to help support them. Their bodies can memorize the response and the down regulation. 
3. Tune in to what’s happening in your body. When you regulate your system, your babies and children will respond. You can support and operate your family from such a different level by just tuning in. 
4. Get your resources lined up before you have your baby. You don’t want to find out about these a year after the fact. You are deserving of the services regardless of your circumstance. We are all deserving of this support, this village, and this care. 
5. You change physiologically when you have a baby. You can’t go back to the same person you were before and that’s okay. Thank her for bringing you to this point, say goodbye, grieve that part of you, and step into the new person you get to carry forward. 
6. We’ve developed such a detachment to our bodies. Use breath, use yoga, use time in nature to get quiet and get tuned in and that’s a way to support the community around you by getting tuned in and turned on. The ripple effect is huge. 
7. YOU HAVE TO EXHALE TO INHALE. YOU HAVE TO LET GO TO RECEIVE. Give yourself space, give yourself pause. Because you set one thing down, you don’t have to pick something else up. 
8. We are inherently worthy and we are not the things that we do.

Our guest this week is Sarah Fish. In this episode, we discuss how women are not meant to constantly go, go, go, and how the switching between our titles of employee and mom leaves little opportunity for us to just be ourselves. We can often fast track ourselves to burnout without realizing we're heading in that direction unless we purposefully carve out that space and time to just be us. Taking time for ourselves, seeking joy in each day, practicing mindfulness, and truly examining what we're doing and how it's actually serving us are imperative in striking a balance between all of the titles we uphold. 

About Sarah: 

Sarah is a stress and anxiety specialist, using hypnotherapy and life coaching to help overwhelmed women take control from the inside out. She runs online group programs for stress management and 1-1 packages for anxiety and habits. Beat Overwhelm, Find Calm is her Facebook Group for women with high pressure lifestyles.

This is a must listen episode if you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant, even if this will be your second or third baby. This week's guest is Deanna Van Pyrz, a newborn care specialist. Deanna reminds us, "With every birth, there is a birth of a new mother as well, every time." Tune in for some amazing tips for the early days of post-partum. 

Here are the key takeaways: 

1. In motherhood, it’s important to roll w/ the tide versus fighting the tide. It’s definitely easier to ride the wave. 
2. You don’t know what you don’t know, and the support available in the hospital are clinicians. They’re there to make sure that everyone is stable, not to teach you/support you in feeding. Be informed before you enter the hospital. 
3. Be mindful of asking the right question to the wrong person. For example, asking your pediatrician, not an LC, about breastfeeding. That’s not in their scope, and the best they can offer you will be their opinion. 
4. Prepare a support cabinet. The President makes decisions based on his advisors. Mamas need a cabinet of their own including, but not limited to: a lactation consultant, pelvic floor therapist, pediatric dentist, sleep specialist, etc. Get recommendations on who’s the best in your area early and prepare your cabinet as early as possible. 
5. You are not obligated to defend or explain your parenting choices to anyone, at any time. 
6. With every birth, there is a birth of a new mother as well, every time. 

About Our Guest:

Long before becoming a mother of two, Deanna was engaged in the lives of young children. She and her husband taught, coached and performed arts education programs for two decades throughout the Northeastern United States. Later, with the experiences of her own labor, delivery and postpartum recovery, she developed an even keener sense for the support and guidance that new moms need. Once she became an empty-nester, she pursued her passion for helping mothers in that tender time period by gaining professional training in newborn care; postpartum care; lactation; infant sleep, and holistic based parenting.

Now, five years later, she has supported dozens of families with thousands of contact hours. She has dealt hands-on with all kinds of tricky situations: reflux; oral ties; milk protein allergies; she has seen it all. 

Deanna receives consistent feedback from clients who describe her as a patient and thoughtful listener as well as a calming influence in the home. Her natural intuitiveness with babies makes all the difference in their smooth passage through the fourth trimester. 

When Deanna is not working with young families, she can be found traveling through time between the pages of a historical novel or spending time with her husband and dogs in their newly empty nest.

1. Other moms can be our biggest opponents when they could be our allies. Just hold space, love, and support others. Collectively, we moms can learn to be a little more accepting of others’ differences. We’re all made the way we’re made, after all. 
2. Moms of the “different” kids are always apologizing and explaining on behalf of their children, and it’s draining. If this is you, it’s time to set it down and make some space for yourself. Even just a 10 minute walk around the block, or a phone call with a compassionate friend to give yourself some time away from the chaos. 
3. When your child is experiencing challenges, you can fall into a blackhole of troubleshooting and trying to problem solve. You don’t need to try to solve all the problems today. The issues will still be there tomorrow, but take time for yourself today and every day.  
4. Find your people, even if it’s just one person, who gets it. 
5. Learn to tune out the noise and  the voices that tell you you’re doing everything wrong. You’re doing the best you can. Connect with your truth. Forget all the noise, all the haters, all those voices. The voice inside of you is the only one that matters.

This week's guest is Sasha Braham, a mother, teacher, and founder of @woowoo_teachersclub and host of the WooWooTeachers Club podcast. In this episode, Sasha shares her experience as an educator and the profound impact her morning meditation has had on her students' achievement. 

Sasha also shares her poignant motherhood journey that began with the loss of her daughter at 6 weeks old. She implores us to consider: 

Why are we silent about our story? Our losses? Your journey, your story, can help someone else make it through theirs when they see that you’re smiling today in spite of it all. You can be the hope that someone else needs. 

Here are this week's key takeaways:

1. You have to prioritize you. You have to take some time to talk to your soul. 15 minutes can change your whole day. If you are expected to give for hours and hours on end, you have to give to yourself first. 
2. Post-partum depression does not mean you’re weak.  Get up and go get that help. It shows the strength you have when you recognize the struggle and seek the help. You’re not the hero when you’re suffering. 
3. In early postpartum, just be kind to yourself. You’re literally keeping a human alive, on top of recovering from childbirth and pregnancy. Even if you’re not a new mom, you’re still a new mom to that child. It’s a new dynamic. Just be kind to yourself. Give yourself grace, understanding, compassion. Just allow the flow and ease of the situation. 
4. You just don’t need to make it harder for yourself. Go and sit next to yourself, hug her, and tell her how awesome and amazing she is. Tell her, "I love you, and I love where you are in your life." Give her love as if she’s your best friend because it’s all she needs right now. 
5. We’ve all gone through our stuff. It doesn’t mean the path is going to always be roses going forward. There are going to be lessons that we have to learn in this life. If you believe that your soul has chosen this life, then learn the lessons because it’s going to get you to a goal. Lovingly embrace those lessons - even the sad, even the scary. Take it all. It all makes you who you are. You don’t know where that experience is going to be used to help somebody else. 
6. We need to share our experiences; the good, the bad, the ugly. The more our stories  are shared, the more we normalize all the pieces. Your journey, your story, can help someone else make it through theirs when they see that you’re smiling today in spite of it all. You can be the hope that someone else needs. 
7. If you know someone who is experiencing a child loss, that baby, that mother, father, grandparents, etc., deserve to be acknowledged. Be present, have conversations. Don’t be silent for fear of upsetting the person.

This week's guest is Michelle Perkin. Michelle is the founder of The Breathing Room. As a trauma informed transformational Breathwork facilitator she offers somatic healings in 1:1, groups and monthly sessions. She believes that your breath is your medicine. Her intention is to offer transformation in your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Her sessions are created to empower you, offering you a safe place to explore and become curious. Her mission is to support others in regulating their nervous system and align with a life they are in love with. She shares, "Breathwork has brought me home to myself. I’m here to support you in deepening your own connection."

Trigger Warning: Traumatic birth, unsafe partners and home environments

Here are this week's key takeaways:

1. Your community and your village are your safety nets, your guiding lights. If you don’t have one, you need to build one. Find the safe people that GET IT. 
2. If you are a safe space, allow people to express their journey to you. If it’s traumatic to someone, it’s traumatic someone. Trauma doesn’t live on a scale, it’s not a game of comparison. Hold space and allow people to have their journey and their perception of it. 
3. It can take time to remember that you are also YOU when you become a mother. You’re not being the best mom you can be if you put yourself on the bottom. You can offer more to your children the more you take care of you. We all get to be taken care of. We all get to be valued. 
4. Our children are our teachers and they have chosen us. What lessons can we learn from them each day?
5. Being a safe space for your children to thrive in. The level of safety and nervous system regulation go hand in hand. When we’re in survival mode, we’re scared to explore. When we’re in a safe space, we’re tapped into being alive. We explore, we leap, we trust, we’re in the flow, we’re doing life which is what we’re here to do. 
6. “Life is going to get lifey.” Your nervous system will be activated. Learning nervous system regulation gives you control to switch your system back to rest and digest. Breathwork and meditation are fantastic tools for our children to learn. 
7. We do a lot of mind work, but we don’t do a lot of body work. Breathwork is a bottom up approach to that. Our mind will know we’re safe, but our body won’t know. Acknowledging, making space for that, and getting into the body with the breath, will allow that energy to process. 
8. Remember that person outside of a mom needs to be filled up too. Drop the mom guilt. You are entitled to moments to yourself and boundaries with your own children appropriate to their age.

This week's guest is Kristin Schmoke. Kristin is a mother of 4, teacher and certified parent coach.  She is passionate about helping families communicate in a more calm manner, create better connections and enjoy parenting. She reminds us that it’s a-okay to need a little help on our parenting journeys. I hope you enjoy the episode!

or on her website.

Key Takeaways:

1. You can be very involved and good parents and still have a challenging child. 
2. As parents, we set the pace. We set the temperature for the room at that time and for the whole relationship.  
3. Awareness in parenting is key. Be aware of consistent situations, environments, or times of day that are triggering for you. 
4. Parenting is not an emergency. You don’t have to deal with each situation right now. What you need to deal with first is your emotions and regulating you first.
5. The power of the pause is priceless. Recognizing “I need a moment,” because you can do damage if you don’t, and then you have to go repair that damage.  Reflect on, “What are my goals in this situation?” My goal is to find peace. How can I find peace?
6. Parents are the biggest teacher in their child’s life. They have the most impact. If you can teach your child at home what it’s like to have a good solid relationship, give kindness, show compassion, help others - these are the lessons that they will carry with them for life.
7. As a mom, take care of yourself in the little moments of the day. Find something you can say to yourself that reminds you how much you’re loved. Listen to a favorite song that makes you feel good. Go outside and take a couple of breaths. Moms are expected to carry a lot, and you don’t have to do it all. It’s okay.
8. If you’re experiencing challenges in parenting, it’s okay to ask for help. You’re not failing, in fact, you’re farther ahead than those who don’t.

This week's guest is Tina Aquila Posteraro, a Vancouver, B.C. based luxury boudoir photographer who reminds us how beautiful and whole we already are. Tune in for the juiciest conversation about self-love, self-appreciation, and tapping into the magic of our femininity. 

Here are this week's key takeaways: 

1. It’s not the reflection in the mirror that’s the problem. It’s your perception of your reflection. Zoom out. The big picture is so beautiful. You are a masterpiece, a work of art. 
2. We have to learn how to love ourselves again (or for the first time) for the sake of the little humans we’re raising. It’s important we lead by example that self-love should be the norm. 
3. It’s so important to get back in touch with the feminine part of you that wants to receive rather than always give. The part that wants to indulge themselves in whatever magic is there in that moment, and outside of that moment. 
4. Our bodies are not trends. We try to shrink ourselves when the trend is skinny. We try to change our bodies to be more curvy, and back and forth with the trends. What are we chasing? At the end of the day, what we want is to feel loved and accepted. And as women with what we’ve been exposed to, we think it has everything to do with what we look like. Trends will always change and your body is not a trend. We have to learn to love ourselves now. 
5. Show up as yourself and it’s all okay. You’ll repel the people who aren’t for you and attract the people who are for you. To be around people who love and accept us, we have to show up as who we really are. 
6. You are whole exactly the way you are. You are beautiful exactly the way you are. 
7. The way we do one thing is the way we do everything. If you don’t believe in yourself in one area of your life, you can carry that over into other areas of your life. It’s never just one part of us, it’s all of us. 
8. Investing in yourself is so important. It affirms, I am worth spending this time or money on. You’re telling the universe, I go first, when you take the leap and have the courage to invest in yourself.

HEY! Did You know I’m hosting a FREE Design Your Maternity Leave Workshop on Tuesday, 10/10 at 1pm EST? Register here!

This week's guest is Abby Hildebrand. Abby is a Trauma-Informed Breathwork Facilitator, Human Development Specialist, and Perinatal Mental Health Advocate. Having been a published author at the ripe old age of 10 (okay, so it was for an elementary school poetry contest, but still!), she has woven the soul of her story into her many careers, and despite being only 5’2”, has had the opportunity to flex her growth muscles on all these journeys, most notably in the newest role of Mama. Her mission is to facilitate the healing process for others, guiding them to breathe into their own capacity to heal themselves and take control of their emotional and physical health. Her approach is collaborative and grounded through a Trauma-Informed lens, empowering clients in building a path to wellness, one step at a time. Focusing her practice primarily on supporting caregivers, she offers individualized coaching and corporate group classes through her company, Wellness Creek Consulting.

Key Takeaways:

1. Breathwork encourages us to pause and be. It helps us to bring ourselves in, ground, and center. Breathwork is consciously shifting the rhythm of our breath to support different experiences and different systems within. It helps us clear away the debris to get to the root of how our nervous system is/is not responding to things around. 
2. You can model breathwork with your children. They naturally respond to breath patterns to support them. Their bodies will naturally help bring their systems down.You can get playful with it to help support them. Their bodies can memorize the response and the down regulation. 
3. Tune in to what’s happening in your body. When you regulate your system, your babies and children will respond. You can support and operate your family from such a different level by just tuning in. 
4. Get your resources lined up before you have your baby. You don’t want to find out about these a year after the fact. You are deserving of the services regardless of your circumstance. We are all deserving of this support, this village, and this care. 
5. You change physiologically when you have a baby. You can’t go back to the same person you were before and that’s okay. Thank her for bringing you to this point, say goodbye, grieve that part of you, and step into the new person you get to carry forward. 
6. We’ve developed such a detachment to our bodies. Use breath, use yoga, use time in nature to get quiet and get tuned in and that’s a way to support the community around you by getting tuned in and turned on. The ripple effect is huge. 
7. YOU HAVE TO EXHALE TO INHALE. YOU HAVE TO LET GO TO RECEIVE. Give yourself space, give yourself pause. Because you set one thing down, you don’t have to pick something else up. 
8. We are inherently worthy and we are not the things that we do.

Sarah is a teacher turned coach for mothers who, after her own journey through postpartum depression and anxiety, is now a coach with a passion for helping mamas find their identity after baby. Our work is so aligned and this conversation is so important for mamas to be, new mamas, and experienced mamas alike to hear. I hope you enjoy the episode.

Here are this week’s key takeaways:

1. Admitting that we’re struggling to ourselves is the first step. 
2. When you find that you’re struggling, ask for help in any way. People want to help. Start with small requests and work your way up to bigger asks if you have to. Keep track of what you need so if someone asks, you’re prepared with responses.
3. The idea of purpose for moms is so heavy. There doesn’t have to be ONE thing. Living your life doing what you enjoy is living in your purpose. 
4. It is okay to set things down that no longer serve you. Beliefs, relationships, career goals, if it doesn’t light you up, let it go. 
5. When it comes to hobbies, find something that lights you up inside. It doesn’t have to go anywhere, you can do an activity just for the sake of doing it. When figuring out what you want to do, ask yourself what did you want to do as a kid that you had to set down, or have you always wanted to do but have never been able to do? 
6. Friends, if you’ve been listening you’ve heard this recurring theme of meditation. If you’re not meditating, please find a form that resonates with you and give it a try. Take the time to just be and exist.
7. There is so much growth in motherhood, and although parts of it do, in fact, suck, the woman you will become is so amazing.
8. You’re doing a good job. Even if it’s not to your standard, you’re trying. You’re doing a good job.

I'm so honored to share this week's episode with my guest, Nina Lockwood. Nina is a trained  psychotherapist, energy medicine practitioner, life coach and artist. She helps women who are overwhelmed and overburdened but knowing there’s got to be a better way to get the most out of life. With decades of experience in psychology, energy medicine, and the wisdom traditions, she firmly believes in looking within oneself for the most honest, authentic answers to living life with more ease and joy. Tune in for the juiciest conversation where Nina implores us to consider, "What else is possible?"

Here are this week's key takeaways: 

1. We’re already built to thrive, the capacity just gets covered over by life and our life experiences. It all comes down to looking within ourselves. We have what it takes. 
2. When you are faced with the opportunity to go in a new direction, come back to the questions, “What’s really important? What really lights me up?” The question is a necessity, it’s our compass that steers us to where we have the natural inclination to be able to express ourselves in a way that feels authentic. 
3. Most people don’t realize that they don’t have to be victims of their thinking. I can’t control what’s coming into my head, but I can control where I put my focus. “What else is possible? What feels authentic and right and focuses on possibility, not impossibility?”
4. It’s less about doing doing doing and more about being. Our feminine power is so deep. Tapping into a community of women can help us remember who we really are. Our power lies in our divine feminine, not in trying to replicate the masculine energy. 
5. What if we’re already whole, and it’s just that we’ve been taught that we’re broken because we’ve had a certain experience? Your ego can be bruised, but your spirit can never be broken. You still have access to all the potential inside of you. 
6. When we’re feeling off, stop, notice, breathe. We don’t need a 5 step strategy to improve our situation. Pause, put your hand on your heart, and breathe. Taking that moment isn't a luxury, it’s a necessity. 
7. We all have regret, but we all did the best we could in our experiences. As India Arie says, there are no mistakes, just chances we’ve taken.

I’m excited to share this week’s episode featuring Amanda Torres. Amanda is a mom, step-mom, newly empty nester and a grandma. She came on to share her motherhood journey and her message to inspire moms as a motivational speaker, and while she did do that, the conversation also flowed into how tapping has helped her navigate the loss of her father. This opened up a whole other conversation about navigating grief in motherhood, a topic that has been on my heart to share recently. I always love to see how these organic conversations unfold and today’s turned into the most beautiful gift. Even if grief isn’t part of your story, there’s good stuff in here for any mom.

Here are this week's key takeaways: 

1. We are so much more than just moms. We often lose ourselves in the minutiae of the day to day. When your kids leave the nest creates a whole new season of unknowing. 
2. It’s okay if your plans change. Pivoting is okay when things don’t pan out or don’t align anymore. Look back at all experiences and identify what you can pull from each of them and how they got you to where you are now.
3. It’s okay to take the time to pause and reflect - do I want this? Is this what I want for myself and for my family right now? And if that leads you away from your planned path, that’s okay!
4. In seasons of unknowing - give yourself some grace if you don’t know what your next step is. Step back, and don’t feel the pressure to rush into the next thing. Remind yourself, this is where I am and that’s okay.
5. Other people’s opinions are none of your business. Do what you need to do to fill your soul. If they’re not paying your bills, they don’t get a say in the matter. 
6. When you make a decision and release the outcome, it will provide. Make the decision. 
7. In navigating grief as a mother: do the things that feel normal. You do what you have to do because you have to keep going. Your kids need you and sometimes that means just going through the motions. Do everything you can to keep your life as normal as possible. 
8. Introduce yourself first. Claim who you are first. You are YOU first. Fill you first and the rest will fall into place. 

You can find Amanda on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.

This week, I'm so excited for our guest, Chantel Porter, to share her wisdom on Human Design. She gives us the origin of Human Design, what it's all about, and how to leverage it in your own lives, especially as a mother. If Human Design is completely new to you, you may want to download your own chart before listening to this episode. Chantel recommends doing so at jovianarchive.com. 

Here are the key takeaways:

1. Human design can help you come home to yourself. It is your true permission slip to follow your own authority. 

2. Human design is your energetic blueprint. Who you are, your gifts, what you came here to do, and how you're meant to operate. It also shows how your intuition communicates with you, and where you are most susceptible to being conditioned. It shows us all how individually unique we are. 

3. When looking at your chart, start with your authority and your strategy. Your authority is your intuition, strategy is how you make it happen. Trust the inner wisdom within you and following it in the small details. 

4. When studying your chart, pay attention to the colored and uncolored areas. Defined centers (colored areas) show the energy you pump out into the world. Open centers are where you take in energy of others and amplify it. These are the spaces you can feel uncomfortable and areas in which we can feel like we're not good enough. 

5. We're conditioned to think we want things that we may not actually want. You may need far less than what you truly think to feel happy, successful, peaceful. Human design can help you determine what really feels so good based on your design type. 

6. We can unlearn conditioning that does not serve us through learning and understanding our own human design. 

7. Knowing your children's energy types can help you better parent your children and you can help them step into their own power and advocate for their own needs. 

8. Human design is for the children. We have to decondition ourselves so we can raise our children as themselves. We can change the world through our children by allowing them to be who they really are. But first, we have to do it for ourselves. 

9. Motherhood is not the job. Caregiving is the job. Motherhood is the relationship you form with you children, not the duties you do on an individual relationship. We are not just mothers. 

10. We come into this life with exactly what we need to fulfill our purpose.

This week I talk with Jordan Rios about mindset, motherhood, and entrepreneurship. She shares how she juggles it all with 6 children, with number 7 on the way! Tune in for some amazing mindset tips to help you start living your best mom life. 

Here are the key takeaways:

1. Self sacrifice in motherhood to the point you lose yourself, it benefits no one. Hear it. Internalize it, because it's the truth. 

2. Mom guilt is universal but it doesn't have to be your reality. You choose what you think about yourself as a mother. Pay attention to your internal dialogue about yourself as a woman and a mom. 

3. Being in control of your thoughts and paying attention to your feelings makes all the difference. Ask yourself, "What is the thought behind these feelings?" What do you desire to be true? Choose your thoughts that will push you towards success and your feelings will catch up. Your thoughts create your feelings, your feelings create your actions. Your actions create your results. You just have to start with your thoughts. 

4. Be mindful of what you're modeling for your children. Do you want them believe they can do anything? Show them in your own life. 

5. Own your personal identity as a mom. Focus on what you're good at, capitalize on those things, and stop comparing yourself to what you see on social media. 

6. We're all chasing the idea of balance. Balance looks different for each person and different in each season. What daily routine feels good? You're never going to give yourself too much grace. Sometimes we find balance when we let go of the idea of finding balance. You'll know it when you find it. 

7. You don't need permission to set down the things that are not serving you. You can start doing thing differently today. 

8. If you have a dream in your heart, it's possible. If you can imagine it, it's possible. The people you are called to serve need you. 

9. In business, outsource and do it EARLY. From household help to administrative tasks - pass off what you can even before you're even making money. 

10. If you're afraid of the next step, ask yourself, "Am I okay being in the same place by doing this same thing 5, 10, or 20 years down the road? Am I okay with that or do I need to pivot?"

I'm so thrilled to have Mary back AGAIN, this time with a topic that she pitched that I found so important to share. In this episode, Mary shares her experience taking and ultimately getting off of anti-anxiety meds and the advice she offered an expecting mom online seeking input on whether to pursue medication to help get through the intense feelings she had been experiencing. She also shares the tools she has learned to navigate anxiety, along with a healthy serving of reminding us we are so much more capable than we give ourselves credit for. 

The book Mary recommended is: At Last a Life by Paul David

This week, I am so excited to welcome my very first friend in childhood, Emily! Emily and I were literally in diapers when we met and I'm so honored she is joining us to share her IVF story and journey into motherhood. Emily breaks the whole IVF process down including all of the ups and downs of finally welcoming their sweet son, Parker. She also shares her personal experience as a daycare kid herself and now utilizing daycare as she works full time. Here are the key takeaways:1. IVF is an incredible journey with a multitude of ups and downs, but it is incredibly worth the physical and emotional demands, the time, and the effort once that sweet baby arrives. 2. Daycare provides amazing opportunities for your little ones. They learn from other children in their classes, yes, even as babies, and experience activities designed to expand their little minds in their specific stage of development.3. Beware the daycare plague. Your child will get sick and often in the first year of daycare. They will even share the plague with you at times. It is not a reflection on the facility or its cleanliness, it's just part of being in daycare. 4. There is no shame in putting your children in daycare. As adults, Emily and I both have very fond memories of being in childcare while our parents worked and we both firmly believe that we are stronger people for it. 5. There's more than one way to bring a child into your life. The means by which they arrive do not matter, you're still their parents. My new Maternity Leave Planning Guide is here!! She's free and chock full of helpful tips and tools to help you plan a leave that honors your needs.

On this week's episode, we have part two of my conversation with sweet mama-to-be, Mary. Listen in for some juicy tidbits on parenting, breaking patterns, setting down limiting beliefs, and chasing dreams. 

Here are the key takeaways:

1. Examine the patterns you're perpetuating in different areas of your life, whether it be in parenting or just rules that you live by. Are there any that no longer serve you that you can set down? 

2. Our little ones are so magical with a beautiful view on the world. They can bring us so much wisdom if we're just open to receiving it. 

3. When it comes to babies, don't take it personally. You're learning each other's patterns and preferences and that takes time. Give yourself grace.

4. I think we know it, but it bears repeating: Remote work is peak working mom goals. Life feels much easier with the flexibility of being at home when you have little ones for all of those unexpected daycare interruptions. 

5. Who told you you couldn't do what you wanted to do or be who you wanted to be? If there's something you want to do, get after it. Set down the perfectionism and do it messy.

This week, I'm so excited to share another beautiful Mary with you! Mary is a mama-to-be, expecting her first baby in just a few short weeks. Join our conversation where she shares her pregnancy experience and her plan for childbirth and welcoming a new baby. I also share some of my childbirth experiences and what I would have done differently. 

Here are just a few of the juicy morsels from our conversation:

1. Hard just means hard. It doesn't have to mean that something is bad or negative.

2. Embrace and surrender.

3. Beyond fear is so much abundance. 

4. Allowing vs. forcing. 

5. It's not that deep. 

Join us next time for Part Two of the conversation!

On this week's episode of the Having a Mom Moment podcast, Mr. Having a Mom Moment, my husband, Ryan, joins us for a special Father's Day Episode. We talk about the Self, Spouse, Spawn theory from his perspective, what it looks like, and how it works in our family. 

Here are this episode's key takeaways:

1. Successful partnerships don't keep score, but instead help each other in balancing their needs.

2. Tend to "self" by building in space and time for decompression from the work day and to transition into the family portion of your day. This is especially important if you work from home as it can easily bleed into home life if you let it. Consider giving remote work its own dedicated space. 

3. Communication is key, and that includes communicating your needs. Ask for help if you need it.

4. Try different strategies to make Self, Spouse, Spawn work for your family. It doesn't have to look the same from one family to the next, but the foundation of putting your oxygen mask on first is so important. Prioritizing yourself isn't always easy, but it is always worth it. 

5. Remembering to take into account, "Will this matter tomorrow? In a week?" Often times, it's just not that serious.

On this week's mini episode I share with you a few quick tips to cultivate more joy: 

1. Find time for the things you love. 

2. Focus on the positive. (No, not in that toxic positivity sort of way.)

3. Connect with other moms. 

4. Take a break from technology. 

5. Do something spontaneous to break up the mundane. 

6. Spend time doing things you enjoy with your children. 

7. Ask for help when you need it. 

Cultivating joy as a busy mom is a journey, not a destination. There will be ups and downs, but it's important to keep trying because you deserve a joyful life.

In this episode, I interview my sweet friend Mary, my sister in all things pregnancy, postpartum, and working motherhood. We've been lucky enough to walk this journey together with our first children's birth dates only weeks apart. Mary and I reflect on our friendship as we entered pregnancy and motherhood together and how we would have approached those early weeks of pregnancy differently with one another if we had a do over. 

We discuss maternity leave and how she pivoted when FMLA wasn't an option as a new employee. We also talk about the importance of reframing your mindset surrounding your leave and how success while home with your baby will look and feel differently than success in your professional role. Mary also shares how she and her husband own an orchard on top of working full time jobs with two children and how they manage it all. We have an interesting conversation about how they take the time to reflect on how they want their children to perceive them and their work. All this and so many juicy tidbits inside this week's episode!

In this episode, I interview my very best friend of 25 years, Michelle. Friends since middle school, we have navigated so many ups and downs of life together in motherhood and beyond. Michelle shares her journey as a medical mama and her experience of the loss of her daughter, Olivia, and how even the greatest pain can deliver a beautiful outcome. 

We discuss how to find and lean into a community amidst a child's diagnosis, how to advocate for children, and taking the journey one day at a time. We also discuss the importance of taking time for yourself, what that looks like, and how it benefits your children. Additionally, we explore the ways in which we've fostered friendship as moms and the intentionality it requires to be successful.

In this first episode, we discuss a the practice that has served the Warner family well over the years: Self, Spouse (or Partner), Spawn. You read that right. In this framework, we put our children last. What?! Yep. Now before you go calling CPS, know that our children are well loved and cared for because my husband and I make an active effort to ensure that we are whole first and that our relationship is on stable ground so that we can best meet our children's needs. 

In this episode, we'll talk about the ways in which you can begin to nurture your own needs and how to get creative with your time in order to do so. We'll also talk about the importance of dedicating set time to nurturing your relationship with your partner. What we won't talk about? Your children. They get all the attention anyway - they're fine. ;)
