    213 - Riding the Waves of Grief

    Grief is a strange thing. One minute the wave of grief will crest and crash upon us with powerful force. The next minute, we will feel calm and in control of ourselves again. Sometimes we are able to distract ourselves from the loss for a bit, and then other times something small triggers it. While we are full force into the holiday season, I wanted to pause and reflect with you that this time of year doesn't always feel joyful and happy, and that's ok. I hope this reflection helps you know you're not alone in your journey, no matter what you might be grieving. Love this episode? Please share with friends or family that you think would love it too!

    212 - Is it Normal to Pee Your Pants? with Bethany Learn of Fit2B Studios (Part 2)

    This week, we are continuing our conversation about a topic that might be a bit odd or taboo for some. You may have noticed it: A few months after your baby is born, or maybe even years later when your kid says something funny and makes you laugh, you feel it: the slight leak that you can’t hold in. Or you might sneeze and accidentally pee a little. There are many jokes on social media revolving around this, but my guest today will help me dive into this topic with knowledge and a more hopeful approach. I am welcoming back to the podcast Bethany Learn from Fit2B studios, the worlds leading provider of diastasis aware workouts. She has two children and lives with her family on a hobby farm in rural SW Washington State in the Pacific Northwest.

    206 - Post Birth Must Haves

    After the birth of my first baby, I was shocked at how ill prepared I was to take care of myself. He had everything he needed, but I was left struggling to look after myself. With each subsequent pregnancy, I have picked up tips and tricks along the way to help me settle in with the baby and be comfortable in the first weeks after birth.  Thank you for listening! Please rate us on iTunes so we can spread the word to other struggling mamas that need to know they're not alone in this journey.  Mentions in this episode:  Padsicle recipe (and more): https://old.passionatehomemaking.com/index.html%3Fp=10294.html
