The Regenerative Motherhood Podcast explores what it means to move from survival to thriving in motherhood. And all the ways that can feel impossible. These unscripted, real conversations dive into breaking generational patterns, trusting inner wisdom, and creating families rooted in joy and authenticity. It's about growing through motherhood, not just getting through it. (So far? Mixed results, but mostly good.)

Making Space for Feelings (Without Losing Your Mind)
Ever feel unsure about how to respond to your child’s big emotions—especially in public? In this episode, I tell the story of an ice cream shop meltdown and what it revealed about how we see (and sometimes suppress) our children’s feelings.
I share why those intense toddler tantrums actually serve a developmental purpose, how our own conditioning shapes the way we respond, and what it looks like to make space for feelings without shaming them—ours or our kids’.
Inside this episode:
✨ Why toddlers need to fall apart sometimes (and why it’s not “bad behavior”)
✨ The grief process underneath the tantrum
✨ A simple toddler ice cream cone hack!
✨ How allowing big emotions builds resilience—for kids and grown-ups
✨ What happens when we start to reclaim our own will, anger, and voice
Whether you’re in the thick of toddlerhood, navigating emotions with an older child, or working through your own emotional expression—this one’s for you.

Less Scrolling, More Living: A Conversation for Moms
This is my very first interview episode—and I couldn’t be more excited to be joined by the wise, wonderful and thoughtful Shayna Strauss. Shayna is a former naturopathic doctor turned coach who supports moms in reclaiming their sense of self. She also created a program called Digital Detox for Moms, and that’s the heart of what we talk about today.
But this isn’t a conversation about shame or perfection. It’s about attention, presence, and how to live more aligned with what we actually care about—especially as mothers navigating a digital world designed to keep us distracted.
Inside this episode:
✨ Why our phone use isn’t a personal failure (and why that matters)
✨ The neurochemical reality of dopamine, distraction, and depletion
✨ What a 30-day digital reset can look like—and what often changes afterward
✨ Simple, doable practices for making space and reclaiming your time
✨ How our screen habits shape our kids’ digital future
✨ The surprising power of mind-wandering, boredom, and leaving your phone at home
If you’ve been feeling pulled in a hundred directions—or just tired of the constant tug to check your phone—I think you’ll find this one both practical and grounding.

Creating in Real Life: Behind the Scenes of My Private Podcast
This episode takes you behind the scenes of something I recently created: a private podcast called I Didn’t Get the Birth I Wanted.
But what I’m really sharing here isn’t just how I made it—it’s what the process revealed. As I followed the nudge to create this, I started noticing how so many pieces of Regenerative Motherhood—the things I’ve been talking about on this podcast—were showing up in real time.
Listening for inner guidance.
Letting things be imperfect.
Trusting the timing.
Making space for what lights me up.
Honoring the story that wants to be told.
In this episode:
✨ How this project moved through me and why I followed it
✨ The messy, joyful, deeply alive creative process behind it all
✨ What it looks like to live the values I talk about here
✨ Why your story matters (even if it’s not what you hoped it would be)
If you’ve been listening and wondering what Regenerative Motherhood can look like in practice—this is how it’s been unfolding for me lately.
