07. Independent Introverts
In today's episode, I discuss the wild reality of navigating motherhood while being both independent and introverted. Asking for help can be very difficult, but I am here to remind you that you deserve breaks and breathers. But, if you are someone who also feels the need to do everything by yourself, and you're overwhelmed by motherhood, I'm also here to remind you that the days will come where you can finally breathe again.
Comment below -- are you a fellow independent introvert?

06. The Value of a Mom
In this week's episode, my goal is to help people see the value that moms bring to the home. It's unreal how many tasks tend to fall on the mother's shoulders and how much is expected of them. Whether you are a mom or not, this episode is an eye opener for all of the behind the scenes that you might not be aware of. So please listen to this episode and let yourself learn about the work load that your loved one might be overwhelmed by. And, if you are a mom, I see you. You are doing incredible and important work, and your kids are lucky to have you.
Of course, I am speaking from my experience as a stay at home -- this will not be every mom's reality.

05. Female Freedom
Today's episode is a deeper dive into the "More Than A Mother" name and what I mean by it. I feel like there's such an intense pressure around women becoming mothers, that it's really important to make sure women know how important they are as a whole person -- without children. Becoming a mom can be the most magical thing ever, but it doesn't have to be ALL that you are. And I think more women need to realize that, so they stop accepting bare minimum from others and start expecting the rigth treatment. Far too many ladies are falling through the cracks because they've been cast into their kid's shadow.I rambled on and didn't quite get to everything I meant to say, but I hope this episode still helped you realize the fact that you, as a woman and a whole person, are completely worthy of all that life has to offer -- regardless of whether or not someone calls you Mom.

04. Smart Rings
Have you heard about the new health tracker rings?I fell in love with the idea of a health tracker that doesn't have a disctracting screen and is super minimalistic compared to a smart watch. So, I purchased the Ultrahuman Ring and want to share my thoughts/insights about smart rings for anyone who might be considering getting one.--for reference, I am a size 5 in regular jewelry (index finger), but a size 6 in the Ultrahuman ring sizes
Have any questions or comments? I'd love to chat!

01. Back to “ME”
Once the title of “Mom” has been given to you, it can be so hard to know who you are outside of it. After going through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and 17 months of breastfeeding, I feel like the fog is finally lifting. Come along on this chaotic journey as I try to explain what it feels like to be “just me” again.
