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 few different ways you can navigate your next holiday gathering when your parenting decisions might come up in conversation. Remember, it's okay to stick up for yourself and it's...

Hi friend, I am so excited to chat with you today about a topic that I've been looking forward to bringing to the podcast because it's something that I encounter almost daily in my work with families. Whether it be DMs I'm getting, whether it be in one-on-one consultations with clients, this is something that comes up all the time – and that is the fear of creating bad habits for our children, specifically around sleep. In this episode, I want to share why we should reframe our thoughts...

Feeling like you’re on the edge of burnout? Constantly overwhelmed? Not able to give 100% to any of the roles you play day to day? Mama, it might be time to drop a ball. On this week’s episode of The Resting in Motherhood Podcast, I’m sharing how I finally came to terms with the fact that something had to change in this season of motherhood – my hardest season yet. I was juggling mothering a toddler, solo parenting, running a business, and dealing with family health issues. I felt like I was...

“I love that.” This is something I said over and over again throughout this episode with Chelsea Skaggs because it is true – there’s so many things I loved in this conversation! Chelsea helps women and couples find more alignment before and after having a baby and she offered so much valuable insight for navigating postpartum relationships throughout our conversation. I wish I had this type of support before Lilah came along because I can see how it can be so game changing for every...

This episode is such a long time coming, one that’s inevitable for The Resting in Motherhood Podcast – my sleep journey with my daughter, Lilah. Our story is one that not only put me on my current career path as a Certified Infant Sleep Specialist, but the thing that has helped me to connect with so many moms along the way. As you’ll hear, the first year of Lilah’s life was filled with so many ups and down when it came to sleep. I felt such a wide range of emotions from shame to confidence,...

One of the things I’m most excited about for this podcast is bringing on guests to share their own motherhood stories and how they’ve come out confident on the other side. With that, I’m so excited to share our first guest interview with Tiffany Belanger of Cosleepy! I originally met Tiffany via Instagram since our businesses are in the same online space, but over time our friendship has really grown. I’ve considered myself so lucky to have at least one person who I know I can always count on...

How are you finding rest in motherhood this week? This is the question that I asked myself today as I sat down to record this episode. Simply put? I’m choosing to be kinder to myself. It can be so easy to start beating ourselves up and make ourselves feel like we are doing a bad job or we're not doing enough as moms. But the more we kind of get into these kinds of negative narratives, the worse we feel. So how can we step out of this mindset and into one that is more nurturing, more...

This podcast is for you if you're feeling lonely in motherhood, if you're feeling stuck, or even like you're just not enjoying motherhood.
