The Raise Your Hand Motherhood Podcast, hosted by Rae Lynn Minke, aims to normalize talking about the shared experiences and struggles of motherhood; to ‘pull back the curtain’ and build connections and community - through laughter, honesty, & vulnerability. This is a podcast for hopeful moms, moms-to-be, and new or experienced moms to share their stories & questions with one another, and learn tools and strategies from Mamas and professionals around the world. We don't have to ride the waves of motherhood alone...it's time to LOSE the loneliness, and GAIN a community! Subscribe today!“...because the more we all raise our hands and share OUR motherhood stories, the less alone you might ultimately feel in YOURS”
In today’s episode, we're talking about navigating the toddlerhood phase, and how we, as parents, need to shift our focus and adjust our expectations.
My guest, Sara Whaley, is the CEO and owner of Joyful Toddler Parenting (https://www.instagram.com/joyfultoddlerparenting/). Sara is a parent coach for toddler parents, and a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst - she's based out of the USA, where she lives with her partner and two toddlers.
Sara and I discuss everything from the social media evolution of ‘gentle parenting’, to the most common ways we overestimate and underestimate our toddlers. Sara clearly breaks down how factors such as inadequate self-care, burnout, and mom guilt can get in the way of us parenting the way we’d like to.
As she says in our interview, “Toddlers are hard. They just are.” But Sara’s goal is to help all parents find the joy in this stage, despite its challenges.

In today's episode, we're talking about a very important topic - postpartum depression.
I'm joined by Maranda Bower, Founder and CEO of Postpartum University (https://postpartumu.com/) and mother of 4, to talk about her own personal story battling extreme postpartum depression, postpartum rage, as well as a diagnosis of an autoimmune disorder and postpartum bi-polar.
Maranda is here to share how this debilitating experience led her to creating Postpartum University (https://postpartumu.com/)- an online education facility that has been recognized as the “leading postpartum resource” for Professionals and Experts in the field, as well as for thousands of mothers around the globe.
You can purchase Maranda's new book, Reclaiming Postpartum Wellness: A Holistic Guide to Returning to the Roots of Health in Motherhood (https://amzn.to/3EF0SEC), now available in all major retailers.

E21 - Podcast Update & A Piece of Motherhood Reality with Rae
Hey Mamas!
It's been a minute...but the Raise Your Hand Motherhood Podcast is back!
In this mini solo-episode, I'm sharing a bit more about MY current motherhood reality - including some of the ways that mom guilt, self-doubt, loss of identity, and uncertainty about what I want/need as a mama creep into my daily life...almost 2 and a half years into this journey we call motherhood!
I'll be back shortly with more interviews and upcoming episodes on postpartum depression, raising dual-culture/bilingual children, balancing entrepreneurship and motherhood, and more!
Thanks for hitting download on some motherhood reality today, and if you're new here...make sure to check out some of the past episodes!
