    Whimsical & Wild, Hottest Baby Name Trends With Expert Michelle Casey

    What kind of baby names spark joy in you? Whimsical, nature-inspired, vintage, bold, brave, classic, or wild? We're sitting down with Instagram's favorite baby name expert and Aussie mum of three, Michelle Casey of Grow Little Wildflower. She'll walk us through the hottest baby name trends, share how she intuitively helps couples decide on names, and offer advice on what to do when one parent says no to every suggestion. We'll also chat about all the runner-up names we didn't use and the ones we want to use for future babies! Such a fun episode!

She discusses her directorial debut with the award-winning "Continue," manifesting her dream collaborators (and many other NEXT LEVEL Dazey jaw dropping manifesting moments) as well as discussing her work on the LIONSGATE feature (and one of Teresa’s recent fav movies) "Desperation Road" starring Garrett Hedlund and Mel Gibson. Nadine also shares her mission to raise mental health awareness in America through her nonprofit, Continue On, which helps American youth get the mental health services they need.

I NEEDED this podcast!

I wish I would have found this podcast while pregnant with my first child, but I’m so thankful I found it while raising my little one. The diversity of guests and the knowledge I have gained from listening to this podcast has made me a better mama and has taught me how to advocate for myself if I am able to get pregnant with my second child in the future. Thank you Teresa and Sarah for everything!

My gal pals

This podcast is amazing. I look forward to it every week. It feels like I’m with my fellow mom friends, sipping coffee, having a laugh and catching up while the kids play. Its relaxing and I LOVE hearing about all the things I am also passionate about. This podcasts represents the saying “LIVE LAUGH LOVE” + all things motherhood ❤️
