    Ep. 51 | EXPERT EDITION: Hormones in Motherhood with Dr Angela Potter, ND, Nutritionist and Pelvic Floor Therapist

    Ep. 51 | EXPERT EDITION: Hormones in Motherhood with Dr Angela Potter, ND, Nutritionist and Pelvic Floor Therapist

    Hey Mamas! Welcome back to the so you had a baby podcast Expert Edition! I am your host Krista and this is episode 51! This week I am so excited to be welcoming back Dr. Angela Potter! Dr. Angela joined me in Episode 41 to share her motherhood journey. If you haven't heard it yet, pause this and go listen to that episode first. It's such a  great episode! But in that episode, we talked briefly about hormones and how they affect women during pre and postpartum and we decided that the topic of hormones really needed its own episode. So, today we will be talking all about Hormones in motherhood: how they affect you, what they are and how to be your own best advocate for your physical and emotional health during a phase in your life when your body is constantly changing. If you need to, grab a notebook and take some notes, because she is a wealth of knowledge! But don't worry if you can't, just make sure to take a look at the show notes or on my website after the episode. I have provided links to all of her shared resources because I know you're busy, and you're probably multitasking right now! Alright, enough of me, let's jump into the episode!

    Ep. 50 | Being Humbled in Motherhood with Tracey Biebel, LCSW and Parent Coach

    Ep. 50 | Being Humbled in Motherhood with Tracey Biebel, LCSW and Parent Coach

    Hey Mamas! Welcome back to the So You Had A Baby Podcast, I am your host Krista and this is episode 50! First of all, can you believe I am 50 episodes in and have been doing this podcast for almost 2 ½ years?! Honestly, I am so grateful for the opportunity to talk to so many amazing women who inspire me and help me grow! And I am grateful for all of you, my amazing listeners who are along for the ride and support me and take the time to listen! Doing this podcast brings me so much joy! And truly hope you are as empowered in your motherhood journey as I have been!
    Ok with that being said, this week's guest is a wonderful woman and friend who I have been so excited to have on!
    This week I am joined by Tracey Biebel. Tracey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a private practice in Portland, OR. For the past 20 something years, she has been helping individuals, couples, and families find more joy and connection in the lives they are living. She lives with her partner, and their combined 4 kids ages (6, 12, 15, 18), 2 dogs, 4 chickens, and 2 rabbits. Prior to COVID, she often left the house to lift heavy things at the gym, perform improv comedy on various stages about town, go on long unmasked walks with friends, and simply be alone. She is funny, real, and a wealth of knowledge. Her story had me in tears (of laughter and sadness) and is not a story that you hear as often, as she shared both her biological and adoptive postpartum stories. I enjoyed talking with her so much and I know you will as well, so enough of me, let's get into it!

    Be sure to check out Tracey's website for amazing family and parenting resources!

    Ep. 49 | Transformation in Motherhood with Whitney Poma, Founder of Momful

    Ep. 49 | Transformation in Motherhood with Whitney Poma, Founder of Momful

    Hey Mamas! Welcome back to the so you had a baby podcast, I am your host Krista and this is episode 49. As we all know breastfeeding is not an easy journey for every mama and truth be told a lot of women struggle in the beginning and sometimes longer. Some decide it's not for them and some women breastfeed successfully for years. There is no right or wrong but there is something that every mom can benefit from in their breastfeeding journey and quite honestly their postpartum journey and that is nutrition.
    This week I am joined by Whitney Poma. Whitney is the founder of Momful - nourishing moms on their breastfeeding journey. Whitney's personal struggle with breastfeeding led to her to find an overlooked solution to the common challenge of breastfeeding: her nutrition. Her obsession with reducing the obstacle of breastfeeding in a new mom's journey led her to create a product line aimed at helping breastfeeding moms recover postpartum while also making nutritious milk for their little ones. Whitney believes that health for mom and baby shouldn't be a luxury which is why Momful donates one product for every five purchased.
    I am so grateful to have been able to talk with Whitney and hear her story. Her passion for helping mamas thrive in motherhood is inspiring and I am so excited for you to learn all about her and her amazing company, Momful. So, without further ado, let's jump into the episode!

    Ep. 47 | Reconnecting to Self in Motherhood with Heather Balogh Rochfort, Freelance writer, Author and Co-Founder of WildKind

    Hey Mamas! Welcome back to the so you had a baby podcast, I am your host Krista and this is episode 47. As you all may know, or may not know, I am so passionate about enjoying the outdoors, going on adventures, and sharing that passion with my daughter. It is for that reason and many more that I am thrilled to be joined by This week's guest!  I had the pleasure of talking with Heather Balogh Rochfort! She is a Colorado-based freelance writer, author, and small business owner who specializes in the outdoor industry. She writes for publications like The Washington Post, Backpacker, and REI, and her fourth book (Moms Who Hike) is launching in Spring 2021. She is also the co-founder of WildKind, a digital membership community for families who want to enjoy outdoor adventures with their children as well as its sister nonprofit, WildKind Closet, which is a free outdoor gear loaner library opening in Denver in May 2021.
    Heather is such an inspiration to me and I am sure so many other women and I personally, can completely relate to her story! In addition, her company WildKind is an incredible resource for families who want to get outside and enjoy the outdoors but don't know where to start, or just want a community of other moms who are already out there exploring! I had a blast talking with her and reconnecting, as I had the pleasure of meeting Heather back in 2012 before we were both moms! I can't wait for you to hear this episode, so stay tuned and enjoy!

Invaluable info for new mamas!

I’m going through my first pregnancy and I have to say this has been some of the best info I’ve been privy to so far in my journey!

I love the podcasters’ calming voices and completely genuine perspective. They have great expert guests, too, so you can really feel confident in what you’re learning.

So glad to have found this podcast!!

Invaluable Information - SUPER GOOD!

I am so thankful for Nkiru and Krista and the wisdom they spew on this podcast. As a soon to be new father, I find the information they deliver to be important, encouraging, honest, and an overall terrific investment of my time. Their perspective not only helps me be more educated and understanding, but more importantly it helps me be a better support to my wife as she navigates these monumentally important months of her life.

Thanks ladies, you rock!
