The Resting in Motherhood Podcast Brittni

I’m recording this episode after a glorious, life-giving weekend away on a business retreat - my first-ever trip without Lilah! I got to connect with amazing women who are also moms and business owners, and the truth is…I wish I didn’t wait so long in my motherhood journey to do something like this. You may feel that you’re not ready to leave your little one at home yet, but doing something for yourself WILL fill your cup so you can pour more into your family. In this solo episode, I’m going ...

Recently I was able to practice finding rest in motherhood by holding a boundary by encouraging Lilah to stay over at her dad’s house. As we’ve entered this new norm of her staying at her dad’s house more often, I know the transition isn’t 100% easy for her, but it is a necessary one that she (and I) will be better for. This leads me into what I want to talk about today when it comes to protecting your mental health in motherhood – specifically in regards to protecting yourself against compar...

Did you know that your child’s healthy gut starts in the first 1000 days of life? Join me for an eye-opening conversation on all things gut health with Cheryl Sew Hoy, a mama of two and the founder of Tiny Health, the #1 gut test for moms & babies 0-3 years old. Research shows that your gut health is intimately intertwined with your baby’s all throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding. Improving imbalances in your child’s gut doesn’t only help with digestive health, but also prevents chronic...

Today I want to chat about something that isn’t directly related to sleep, but is something that I often get asked about – potty training.

Our children already know how to go to the bathroom, we just have ...

We live in a society that really glorifies the martyrdom of motherhood, but we don’t often talk about the mental load that comes with this and the challenges that it can create on the mother and within the partnership. This is something that I’ve personally been struggling with the past few months as I’ve taken on the majority of the parenting role, which means I’ve been able to practice what I’m trying to “preach” in this episode recently. We believe that as moms, we have to do it all, but t...

Have you been loving the trend on Instagram and TikTok that starts with the prompt, “Social media is fake, here’s X number of things that are true…”? I’ve seen hundreds of women and moms get really vulnerable about a few things they’re currently struggling with and it’s been so powerful. A few weeks ago I posted my own version of this on a few Instagram story slides and I received an overwhelming amount of really positive feedback, so much so that I knew I needed to bring it to the podcast.
