    Feathers of New Motherhood with Alyssa Westra

    In this episode of Find Your Feathers, Kelsey sits down with her longtime friend Alyssa Westra, who is navigating the first five months of motherhood with her baby boy. Alyssa shares an honest look at the transition into new motherhood, from the joy and excitement of becoming a mom to the unexpected identity shifts, physical changes, mental load, and challenges of caring for a newborn. They talk about the tension between wanting to feel like yourself again while also embracing this completely new identity, the importance of asking for help, and the small things that can make you feel a little more like you, whether that's getting out of the house, moving your body, connecting with friends, or simply taking a moment for yourself. This conversation is a reminder that you don't have to have motherhood figured out, and taking care of yourself doesn't mean you're taking anything away from your baby. If you're in the early days of motherhood, or know someone who is, I hope this conversation makes you feel a little less alone.

    Feathers of an Adoption Journey with Susan Heilman

    For years, Susan dreamed of becoming a mother. She imagined the family she would one day have, but the path to get there looked very different than she expected. In this heartfelt conversation, Susan shares her journey through infertility, IVF, and ultimately adoption. She opens up about the grief of feeling like her body had failed her, the emotional toll of letting go of one vision of motherhood, and the incredible hope she found in embracing another. From waiting for the phone call that would change everything to meeting her son across the country, Susan reminds us that motherhood isn't defined by biology, it's defined by love. Now the mom of a 14-year-old son, Susan reflects on what motherhood has taught her over the years: that even great moms make mistakes, that we were never meant to do this alone, and that asking for help isn't a weakness, it's part of raising a family. Whether you're navigating infertility, adoption, the early years of parenting, or simply wondering if you're doing enough, Susan's story is a beautiful reminder that your journey doesn't have to look like anyone else's to be exactly the one your family was meant to have.
