    Blessing Adesiyan

    Christy is joined by Blessing Adesiyan, founder of MotherHonestly, fellow mom of 4 and inspiration to moms everywhere. This episode is full of real talk about the state of motherhood today – it can all feel a little dire with rising prices, lack of support and paid leave, and the feeling that we should be "doing it all." But, Blessing and Christy also share solutions, like how to approach conversations with your partner about rebalancing the load at home and what employers can do to step up to help. They also chat about what works in their own homes, including Blessing's story about how she discovered her husband is way better at bathtime and what they outsource. Listen for a chance to feel seen, celebrated, and ready to take action to find more equality at home and equity in the workforce..

    Cameron Rogers

    Christy and Cameron Rodgers had their babies just weeks apart - Christy's 4th and Cameron's 1st - and Christy was so inspired by Cameron's honesty and vulnerability as Cameron shared her 4th trimester experience in real time. This week, Christy and Cameron talk about Cameron's mental health journey postpartum, including why weaning was critical to her mental health, why her depression hit 3-4 months into parenthood, and the power of focusing on one small win a day when you're working to find happiness in your life.  They also chat about what surprised them most about the 4th trimester and the late-night impulse buys that helped them to survive the "fever dream" of those early days of new parenthood, including this miracle baby shusher.
