    Rest, Reflection, and Reinvention: A Farewell (For Now) to the Podcast

    Hi mamas, I have to admit that I have been putting off recording this episode because it's a very emotional one – it feels hard to share, but I also know that it feels like the right path forward. I’m diving into my emotional journey of motherhood, early entrepreneurship and now, the transition to business coaching. Also, how I’m learning to listen to my intuition which has led me to pause my work with sleep consulting and taking a step back from The Resting in Motherhood Podcast. This year e...

    Navigating the Dilemma of Santa as a Gentle Parent

    Today’s episode is coming from the heart and has been one that I wanted to talk about for a while. It is definitely a topic that’s more complex, or even polarizing – so let’s dive into my daughter’s journey with Santa (and soon the Tooth Fairy). Of course, before listening in, what I'm doing personally in my life does not mean that you have to do it, and just because I'm doing something one way doesn't mean that you're doing it the wrong way. It also doesn't mean that I'm judging you for doin...

    [REPLAY] Dropping Balls: Choosing what to focus on in each season of life

    Hi mama, just a heads up that this is another replay episode, one that I think is super relevant as we 1) often think we have to be doing it all during the holiday season and 2) head into the new year and feel tempted to set a lot of new goals that are actually unattainable. I hope this episode helps set you up for success throughout these next two months while reminding you that you are doing enough and that you are enough. –Feeling like you’re on the edge of burnout? Constantly overwhe...

    REPLAY: What to Do When You Encounter Judgment from Loved Ones

    Hi mama, just a heads up that this episode is actually a replay from last year around this same time, but with the holidays coming up, it’s becoming relevant again. Happy listening! With the holidays approaching, I want to chat about something that I am sure we have all encountered in our parenthood journey – judgment from our family or other loved ones. I know these topics can be so polarizing, but I’m hoping they don’t always have to be for you and your family. In this episode I’m sharing a...

    Mothering (and Feeding) Instinctually with Andrea Haskins

    I’m excited to have Andrea Haskins on the show today. Andrea is the co-founder of Radical Moms Union, lactation counselor, and educator – she encourages mothers to be less dependent on the systems that often take away their authority. Throughout our conversation, she’s sharing the predatory messaging that women fall prey to from formula companies (much like the sleep training industry). Andrea shares her personal experiences with postpartum anxiety and the challenges of motherhood, emphasizin...

    Shifts in Resting in Motherhood

    Today as I sat down to record, I noticed a huge glare coming from the window by my desk because it’s fall and the sun is shifting and shining differently. This is such a beautiful reminder of the change in seasons and how nothing is permanent, how everything is changing. I just loved that because it hints at what I want to talk to you about today in this episode. If you have not already seen on Instagram, there has been a big shift that I'm going to be making or that I've already made actuall...

    Motherhood in the Gray Area

    Today’s episode comes from a recent real life experience – Lilah brought a Polly Pocket into our collection of Montessori toys (which are very wooden and very neutral). If this would have happened two years ago, I would have been up at night feeling anxious about this different, plastic toy. But now, I’m at ease and comfortable with it. This is an example of getting comfortable within the gray area of motherhood. If you’re listening to this podcast, you are probably doing motherhood your own ...

    Giving Yourself the Permission to Do Nothing in Motherhood

    Is it hard for you to rest? To just be? To do nothing? If so, this week’s episode of The Resting in Motherhood Podcast is for you. I’m sharing the importance of not only giving yourself the permission to do nothing, but to be really comfortable with it, too. I know this can be hard, because in motherhood there is *always* something that could be done whether it’s around the house or with your little one(s). So throughout this episode, I’m going to share my personal experiences and practical t...
