Moms Off The Record April West & Katherine Sigblad

Oni, an Atlanta-based postpartum doula and single, homeschooling mom to two daughters aged eight and ten reveals her methods for making her non-traditional lifestyle work for her rather than against her. We loved the gentle wisdom and powerful reminders woven into this interview and we hope they resonate just as much with you. 

We delve into concepts such as:the importance of veering away from the martyrdom mindset in motherhoodOni's abandonment of the feminist movement and her calling to homeschool her two girlshow single motherhood does not have to pose a barrier to homeschooling and/or your careerhow we women need to lean on our local community in person, not just online, for holistic supportthe delicate balance of setting boundaries and showing up as her authentic self as a postpartum doula while also staying open-minded to clients' varying needsthe debacle of the night shift as a postpartum doula— does it help or hinder the breastfeeding relationship within the mother-baby dyad?how we don't have to and should not try to be everything to everyone when serving clients in our businesshow to know when it's the right time to take an overnight trip without your little one

The (K)at is finally out of the bag! Kat is expecting baby #2!! It would be a little weird if we withheld the most compelling aspects of this wild pregnancy and plans for a sovereign birth (we explain what that means too) as two moms who host a podcast dedicated to pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. So, we of course had to divulge the details. It's too exciting not to share! We answer some of our listener questions submitted via instagram stories as well.

Hilda Labradore Gore is the host and producer of Wise Traditions— the official Weston A. Price Foundation podcast.
Hilda brings her innate positivity, decades-long wisdom on ancestral practices, and exuberant demeanor to the virtual table where the three of us discuss topics such as:
How do we know which food movements du jour are truly right for us? Raw Milk and beef liver are all the rage now, but before that everyone was talking about Paleo, Keto, Pegan, Raw before 4pm and the list goes on.Should we be concerned with the latest measles "outbreak"?How can we embrace the "80/20" lifestyle with what we know about artificial food dyes, glyphosate, and other false foods that hijack our taste buds?What are Hilda's favorite go-to simple, nutrient-dense snacks for young children and dinners for the entire family?What is one simple way we can deepen our connection and strengthen our relationship with our children?How we can nourish our families outside of diet?Food fads that will not age will such as the normalization of seed oils and lab-grown meat!We absolutely loved our conversation with Hilda! As her IG handle suggests, she has a completely holistic perspective on caring for ourselves and our families, and her warmth beams during this interview. We hope you gleaned as much inspiration and wisdom from this upbeat and enlightening conversation as we did.

We hear from Speech and Language Pathologist Maria Gianfilippo, Founder of Organic Speech Therapy, about what it takes to raise talkative babies and toddlers.

First, it’s important to know what the milestones and averages are in regard to spoken words by specific age targets. Yes, every child does develop at his or her own pace; however,  within *reason*.

We reflect upon the main contributors to a burgeoning vocabulary versus speech delays that should raise red flags.

We learn about optimal environments and lifestyles parents can embody in order to maximize their child’s communication capacity.

We’ll discuss why TV shows are not an appropriate substitute for 1:1 human interaction when it comes to teaching our children. It's a tough pill to swallow, but even the "educational programs" are not ideal. TV is a tool and we need to treat it as such.

You’ll also hear about the “wait and see” approach still recommended by pediatricians and the main reasons why speech delays have been on a significant rise over the last few years.

Learn about the benefits of bi-, tri-, and quadlingualism.
