Monday May 22, 2023
In this episode, we explore the vital connection between nutrition and postpartum mental health. Discover the impact of PMADS (postpartum mood and anxiety disorders) and the harmful "bounce back" mentality. We discuss the internal factors that affect us, such as lack of sleep, nervous system imbalance, emotional dysregulation, and, notably, lack of nutrition.
Discover the link between vitamin deficiencies (magnesium, iron, and vitamin D) and postpartum disorders like PPD and PPA. Embrace the importance of easily digestible, nutrient-rich foods to enhance mental clarity, reduce fatigue, and promote overall well-being. We also touch on the benefits of incorporating herbs and herbal teas into the postpartum period.
Reflect on your postpartum meals and their impact on your energy levels and emotional well-being. Consider your relationship with food and how it can be a healing resource. Remember, your journey towards optimal nutrition can inspire others and bring positive change to the lives of many.
Stay tuned for upcoming workbooks, courses, and collaborations. We value your feedback and appreciate your support in spreading the message of postpartum wellness. Together, let's reshape the postpartum experience.

135. What Does a Mom Look Like? [Podcast Swap - Mompreneur Guide Podcast]
Monday May 08, 2023
Monday May 08, 2023
In this podcast episode I was a guest on the Mompreneur Guide Podcast and we talked about what it means to us to be a mom. I think this is such a great interview to listen to as we prepare for mothers day this year and look back on what our relationships with our own mothers looked like and how that shapes the relationships we are building with our own children.
We dive in on what kind of mom are you and what kind of mom do you want to be? Are you aligned with those two questions? If not, what are a few things you can do to start doing today to truly be the mom you want to be.
We have the ability to shape generations. We can look at how our mothers mothered and from there pick and choose which parts we want to bring into the next generations and even start new traditions moving forward. If we’re open to the idea we can look back on our own childhood and see what we want them to remember and what kind of legacy we want to pass down and also discover new experiences along the way.
We also discuss how this is a joint effort and we have the ability to listen to our children’s desires and allow that to help create a blueprint for our family moving forward. We can start creating a vision for what that will look like and pivot and adjust as needed and we may not be there yet but we certainly have the ability to achieve those goals if we keep pursuing them.
