A Woman Like You iHeartRadio

Are your kids getting ready to leave for college? Are you trying to manage all the emotions that come with that but still not feeling ready? What does life look like when they go? How do we set up a great foundation so that our relationship with them stays strong even when they aren’t under our roof?

Suzanne Mayernick knows a thing or two about raising kids and maintaining a solid relationship with them once they leave for school and beyond.  We discuss all the feelings leading up to the oldest leaving and she offers a great perspective on how to look at it.  

Suzanne also tells us about her 9th “child”, her passion project Love One International, a center in Uganda that receives, rehabilitates and resettles malnourished children.

We talk about marriage and how it ebbs and flows through raising kids and the importance of making sure you still know (and like) the person you married beyond having kids.

I can’t wait for you to listen as I know so many of you are gearing up to send your kids off to school this year.  

Suzannes story will leave you feeling inspired, hopeful and with some great ideas to utilize with your own kids.

After much demand, our favorite OBGYN is back!  Answering all the questions we didn’t get to ask the last time she was here.  We are going more in depth, and really getting specific with our most intimate questions and concerns from STD’s to male birth control and so much more.

Have you heard of the new upswing of men getting vasectomies as a form of birth control? Is that a wise idea?  How much do you really know about Plan B and how it actually works?  What is the best way to keep up our hygiene “down there”?  What is a fibroid and how do you know if it needs to be removed?

I’m asking all the uncomfortable questions so you don’t have to.

Also as a disclaimer, this PODCAST is for entertainment purposes only and you should always see your own doctor for your personal concerns.

Dr. Kristin Daniel practices as an OBGYN at WOMEN Obstetrics & Gynecology in Nashville, TN.

Is there a new baby that's about to enter your life? Are you a new mom, an expecting mom, a grandma, a nanny or anyone who will be in contact with a newborn?  This episode is for you!

Rachel Ramsey from the Newborn Nurse is our guest today and she is here to share everything you need to know before and after you bring a baby home.  Voted #1 In Home Newborn Nursing Care and #1 In Home & Online Newborn Education, plus 19 years experience, Rachel is here to help both moms and babies rest a little better.

A former Neonatal RN, Rachel began the Newborn Nurse after realizing that moms really needed the most support in the days and weeks after leaving the hospital and they just weren’t getting it.  She’s the most sought-after baby guru in Nashville and her families credit her to helping them feel like they’re doing it right and most importantly, getting some sleep.

Rachel shares her tips for sleeping, eating, and care as well as her favorite gadgets - what you really need at the hospital and in those first few weeks at home.

You can also listen to her podcast “The Newborn Nurse Podcast” wherever you listen to your podcasts.

If you are in the depths of trying to have a baby, struggling with infertility, going through treatments or exploring the adoption option this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

Our guest today is here today to bravely share her story in the hopes of helping other women who find themselves in the same place she was just a few years ago. 

Her and her husbands struggle on their journey to become parents, the highs and lows, hopes and disappointment - all make up her story and what I believe so many of you will relate to.

We discuss all the struggles of  infertility, treatment options, pregnancy loss and domestic adoption.  Melissa shares advice from experience of what to do and not to do, what’s normal and not, and how much does all of this cost?

There is a happy ending to their story but the road there was one that honestly could be made into a movie.

I hope you enjoy listening as much as I did and if you know anyone struggling with infertility right now I would encourage you to share this with them.

Today we sit down with Katie Kadan, who you’ll remember from Season 17 of NBC's The Voice, where she finished in 3rd place.  After hearing her sing, Kelly Clarkson said, “That's what we need in the music industry, just a revamp of actual talent.”

Katie opens up in this raw conversation about life on one of the most acclaimed music talent shows and what life has been like since.

We talk about what life was like for her growing up, being “different” from the other kids and how that held her back from following her dreams of music for so long.

With the help of some great friends she was able to take the step onto the biggest stage of her life and come out on top.

Katie's insight into body image, self love, society standards and even bullying will have you laughing and crying all at the same time. She truly is one of the most joyful people I have ever met and I just had to get her to share some of that light with all of you.

I can’t wait for you to meet the woman behind the voice.

If you are in peri menopause, menopause or post menopause you are probably very familiar with the term HRT.  You are also likely very overwhelmed or even frustrated by all the information out there and just want to know what's best for you!

Today I have the woman who I credit to totally changing my life (for real) on the podcast.  When I stepped into Lisa Grissim's office at Restore Hormonal Vitality and Wellness Center here in Nashville just over a year ago, I was a dulled-down version of my former self and certainly of the one I am today.

The lack of information about HRT baffled me and once I started talking about it, the feedback was so overwhelming I knew I had to make it an episode.

Lisa is here today to answer questions that you sent in and I hope it gives you some answers and direction.

Please consult your own medical doctor for your individual care.
