The Motherhood Collective Co Amanda + Jessie

A casual episode where we get on IG Live and chat with our followers. We catch you up on our lives, chat favorite books and music, talk home projects, healing ear infections naturally, birthing more babies, breastfeeding, and more.

A little Q+A to start your week. Let's chat new borns, cleaning schedules, catheters during childbirth, where to shop for baby clothes, setting boundaries to spend less time on our phones, and car seat safety.

What are they? Why do we have them? How do we navigate the anxiety that comes along with them?

We share our personal experiences and give you tools to conquer the blight that is intrusive thoughts.

We hope after listening to this episode you feel a little more 'normal,' you have the tools to overcome the power they hold of you, and you rest assured that you are a good mom.



**No specific/graphic intrusive thoughts are shared in this episode. This episode is inspiring and not triggering.

Buckle up, let's have an uncomfy conversation.

What are the dangers of posting our children's faces on social media? What will their futures look like? What are the possible repercussions? Can there be a balance of sharing and protecting?

We let you guys into the very vulnerable thoughts in our heads surrounding this topic when it comes to our own children. We take you through our thought process, our decisions, and how we executed our plans.

We answer listener's questions about transitioning out of bedsharing this week. This episode is full of sound advice on listening to your intuition as a mama and practical advice on infant/toddler sleep!

We interview Kaite @thenotsotiredtoddler about toddler sleep. We ask her what's normal, how to navigate the hard, what to expect, and how to cope with our own unmet expectations and frustrations. It's a breath of fresh air to speak to a sleep consultant who openly co-sleeps and listens to any mama's intuition on what looks right for their own family.
