26. The healing power of creativity after cancer and loss - with Lisamarie Pearson

In this episode, we're talking about what resilience looks like in real life—not the polished version, but the gritty, painful, keep-going-anyway kind. My guest, Lisamarie Pearson, shares her journey through a life-altering diagnosis, losing her grandmother, and the identity shift that followed. In the middle of it all, she rediscovered a skill her grandmother taught her: how to sew. What started as an outlet quickly became a lifeline, and eventually, a purpose-driven business creating her now-beloved "octopals." If you've ever felt lost in survival mode, unsure of who you are anymore, or craving something that feels like you again—this conversation will remind you it's never too late to start over. Lisamarie is the founder of Scatterbrain Toys, where she creates sensory-friendly plush toys designed to inspire creativity and bring comfort and joy. In this episode, we cover: <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The emotional toll of navigating cancer and grief at the same time.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The identity shift that happens after trauma, and how to rebuild from it.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">How creativity can become a powerful tool for healing.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The mental load of motherhood and running a business—and why time feels so limited.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">One thing all entrepreneur mamas should be doing. </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Lisamarie's favorite self-care routine.

25. How long does postpartum really last? Anxiety, OCD, and intrusive thoughts after baby

Everyone talks about the first six weeks after having a baby. But what if postpartum lasts much longer? In this episode, we're having a raw and honest conversation about how long postpartum really lasts, especially when it comes to mental health. My guest Alyssa Maio and I explore how the common narrative around "baby blues" can minimize the reality of what many mothers experience. If you've ever felt like something wasn't quite right after having a baby, even long after the newborn stage, you're not alone. This conversation is about normalizing the reality that postpartum recovery can take much longer than anyone prepares you for. In this episode, we cover: <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The myth that postpartum recovery ends at 6–12 weeks.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">How the phrase "baby blues" minimizes what mamas are going through. </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">What postpartum anxiety, OCD, and intrusive thoughts can really feel like.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Why these symptoms are often misunderstood or dismissed.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">What I wish I knew about postpartum mental health before having my babies. </li> </ul> Resources & Links: <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">What does <a href= "https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/maternity-leave-by-country"> maternity leave</a> look like in other countries?

24. Mental Load of Motherhood: Invisible labor, burnout, and being the default parent

In this episode I'm discussing the invisible labor and mental load that so many moms carry. From Elf on the Shelf expectations to middle-of-the-night to-do lists, this episode names the unseen work that keeps families running and why it so often falls on the mamas. I break down what invisible labor and mental load actually mean, how traditional gender roles still quietly shape parenting dynamics, and why so many moms feel like their brains are stuck on an endless hamster wheel. If you're exhausted, overwhelmed, and wondering why it feels like everything depends on you, this episode is for you. In this episode, we cover: <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">What invisible labor and mental load actually are, and why they drain you in ways you can't quite explain.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">How cultural expectations assign moms household responsibility we never signed up for.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The unseen responsibilities millennial moms like you are quietly carrying every single day.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">One thing you can do today to start lightening your mental load. </li> </ul> Resources & Links: <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Here's a resource to help you <a href= "https://contemplative-mama.kit.com/invisibleloadchecklist"> uncover the invisible tasks</a> that are weighing you down, so you can start making lasting changes today. </li> </ul> If you're ready to go deeper—untangling your mental load while making space for your creativity, your desires, your joy, and your purpose—I've got you. Your Guided Journey to Self-Discovery + Fulfillment is designed to help you reclaim your time, reconnect with what lights you up, and rediscover who you are beyond momming.
