    One thing we need to let go of in motherhood

    We change so much when we become mothers. Our bodies change. Our brains change. Our day-to-day changes. It is no wonder that our identities and beliefs change too. It is liberating to let go of unhelpful beliefs that keep us small in motherhood and old, outdated identities that no longer serve us in our current moment.  In this episode of Wild + Well, I discuss several things that are helpful to let go of in motherhood, including unhelpful beliefs and old identities.  In this episode, I cover:  The three significant stages of creating true wellness in motherhood  The missing piece for many moms to step into genuinely living motherhood their way  Why letting go is essential for many mothers in their motherhood journey  The process of letting go of unhelpful beliefs that are holding you back in motherhood Some specific identities that are challenging to hold tightly as a mom  Helpful hacks to leave old identities in the past  Episode Links: Say hello to me over on Instagram  Check out my books and program  Listen and Subscribe to Wild + Well on: Apple Podcast | Spotify

Would you like to have more playfulness and presence sprinkled throughout your day?  Well, I have good news for you.

It doesn’t  A mindset shift to start noticing the awe in our daily lives and create creativity in the mundane moments of our lives   The connection of creative living to joy and play   How we can support our kids to foster their curiosity and creativity, even in environments where these can be stifled Doable ways that we can bring more creativity into our work, everyday lives and parenting  Laura Benn is a full-time commercial photographer, brand strategist and writer who founded Gooseberry Studios in 2013 to help entrepreneurs find their confidence on camera, build beloved brands and establish their own creative everyday way of work and life.

  6. Get clear on your priorities, values and needs for a calmer motherhood with Rachelle Glendon

    Get clear on your priorities, values and needs for a calmer motherhood with Rachelle Glendon

    Does your schedule reflect your priorities?  Do you know your values?  Are you clear on your emotions? What about your needs?  Life can get busy as a mom. Our time can easily get eaten up. We can get disconnected from our own feelings. We can forget about our own needs as we tend to our children’s.  But reconnecting with these are foundational to creating and sustaining a motherhood in which you thrive.  In this episode, the microphone has been turned around today and I am interviewed by slow living coach Rachella Glendon. We chat about how critical it is for moms to identify our priorities, values and needs for a more enjoyable motherhood.  “Values are not goals. You can live a fulfilling life by living your values and not just ticking off to-do’s” Rachelle and I chat about:  My struggle in early motherhood  A critical difference between values and goals  Why knowing what we are feeling is essential and what our emotions can tell us  How to identify your unmet needs and find ways to meet these  Using our values and priorities for more intentional decision making  Rachelle Glendon is a wife, mother and certified life coach as well as host of How To Live Slow, a podcast for modern women who wish to ditch hustle culture, slow down and reconnect to their natural rhythms. Her focus is on matrescence (the transformation of motherhood), midlife transitions, slow and seasonal living and self-leadership, the overarching theme of which is change and transitions. She believes that when we slow down, rest and take care of ourselves, we will see that it's been the answer to many of our world’s problems all along.  Listen in as we gently guide you to reconnect with what will support you through your motherhood journey.  If this topic is especially relevant to you, check out my book, The Motherhood Reset, as this is a topic we delve into deeply there.  Episode Links: Say hi to Rachelle on Instagram  Listen to the How to Live Slow Podcast  Check out Rachelle’s Substack Slow coaching with Rachelle Come say hello to me over on Instagram  Read my book, The Motherhood Reset or check out my program

  7. Create a smooth recovery from birth and pregnancy with Dr Andrea Loving

    Create a smooth recovery from birth and pregnancy with Dr Andrea Loving

    When pregnant, we learn about and plan for birth. After birth, we recognize that recovery is needed. But recovery from pregnancy is not often talked about.  Recovery from birth AND recovery from pregnancy are essential if we want to be healthy, strong and the best moms we can be.  Preparation during pregnancy can make recovery from pregnancy and birth a little smoother. And it isn’t too late for the rest of us who didn’t set ourselves up optimally for a speedy recovery. We can start now.  On the latest episode of the Wild & Well podcast, this is precisely what we are diving into: recovery from pregnancy and birth. I am joined by Dr Andrea Loving, who supports new mothers in having the best recovery possible postpartum and enjoyable entry into motherhood.  Dr Andrea and I chat about:  The difference between recovery from pregnancy and recovery from birth Why recovery is so critical  How long recovery from birth and pregnancy actually take  Why preparing for pregnancy and birth is so helpful  What we can do during pregnancy to set ourselves up for a great recovery postpartum What we need to know about recovery from birth  Specific and doable strategies to increase recovery time  The importance of nutrition for better recovery  How nutrients can support recovery and lessen recovery time  The balance between strength and softness for birth preparation  Dr. Andrea Loving D.O. is a physician, mom of two (soon to be three!) girls, and the creative force behind Sage Mother Co.- a company all about giving women the support, resources, and expert advice they need during the wild early years of motherhood. Drawing from her own experience of becoming a mother, and her clinical work with perinatal women and newborns, Andrea noticed a huge need for more access to reliable, comprehensive support for women in the early stages of motherhood. She teamed up with her best friend and pediatrician, Dr. Kristin Weidert, and together they launched Sage Mother Co., making it a go-to resource for women navigating this transformative phase of life.
