Milestone Mama

Today's episode is the start of a brand new episode format -- community calls! In this debut community call, Chelsea, Laura, + Megan share their personal stories of miscarriage. Our hope is that those listening who have walked this painful road before feel less alone. 

And to those that tune in and have not experienced loss, we are so appreciative for your support in listening. Hopefully you can walk away, too, feeling more equipped to support any loved ones in your life who have or may experience miscarriage.

First and foremost I want to say -- I am 100% an advocate for breastfeeding! There is NO denying the incredible benefits of breastmilk/breastfeeding in general. Today I am sharing my personal experience with breastfeeding and how I ultimately made the decision to switch to formula when my son was 8 weeks old. I do wish our story was different, but this decision ended up being what was best for myself, my baby, and my family. My hope is for you to feel less alone by hearing this experience because mom guilt is REAL. You are not alone if you have been met with challenges in breastfeeding, mama. You deserve the support, resources, and encouragement you need to have a successful experience in feeding your baby!

Kayleigh Dittmer is a new mama to a baby girl, and her nursing journey didn't quite go how she may have expected. But she has figured out a way to make exclusively pumping work for her lifestyle! She feels very passionate about educating moms on this subject to let them know that it CAN be an option. We also acknowledge that mamas should do what works best for them and their families, and to be able to maintain their mental health. This is a super fun conversation we can't wait for you to join in on!

This is another special episode as my husband, Jordan, and I sat down to talk about our first YEAR of being parents! We recap it all from our biggest "struggles" to the most special moments. It was so much fun to reflect back on all the things we learned together and how much joy our little boy has brought us!

This is a VERY special episode as my husband, Jordan, and I sat down to tell OUR birth story! Our little boy turns ONE this week and we felt like it was the perfect time to reflect back on our whole experience. We had an unmedicated hospital induction with doula support -- during a hurricane! It was so much fun to recap this journey as husband and wife -- and to hear Jordan's perspective too (especially on working with a doula).

This episode is a candid conversation with licensed trauma therapist, Kobe Campbell all about mental health in motherhood and our own personal experiences. I love how Kobe elaborates on the term "post traumatic growth" and how so much beauty and potential lives on the other side of the transformational events in our lives. We talk all about how motherhood has changed both our relationships, why we understand mommy forums now, and so much more. This is a safe place for you to join us mama, you are never alone in this journey.
