Welcome back!!! After almost a year long break, the Mighty Mamahood podcast is back and better than ever. To kick things off, we are going to start by talking about the main reason why I have been quiet for so many long months: burn out. I recorded this podcast with Andryanna Gonko almost a year ago now, and was struggling with major burnout at the time... so much so that this episode never got published, whoops!
Andryanna and I were able to discuss burnout, what to do when you're feeling burnt out, and how to prevent it in order to become a more present parent and partner.
You can find more from Andryanna over on her podcast, called The Juggle is Real.
She is on Instagram @AndryannaG
Follow her for more of her amazing content!
Happy Tuesday and welcome back to another episode of Mighty Mamahood!
This week, I had on Naomi Wright to chat with me about the importance of breaking harmful generational parents when raising our own children. I feel that this is a topic that should be talked about more but isn't, so we are here to start the conversation! We hope you enjoy this and that you take away some good thoughts or information.
Naomi is the daughter of a pseudo-Christian cult leader. She was raised, yet hidden, within mainstream culture and public school education, where no one knew—or the few with a sense of something, stayed silent. She did not know this was the case until she was 28, from which point she has sought after truth with a questioning mind, adamant to never find herself so lost again.
Naomi holds a Master of Science in Social Work from the University at Buffalo, is licensed in the state of Colorado, and is near completion of a Master in Arts in Christian Studies from Denver Seminary. She is the Founder and Executive Director of beEmboldened.

Happy Tuesday, my beautiful friends! I'm back this week with another guest to share with you all. Her name is Hanna and she started Sunbloom Yoga out of her own passion for the practice and how it makes her feel, physically and spiritually. She is going to share some benefits and facts about yoga and meditation with us, and near the end she gives some really practical ways for you to start including yoga in your own daily routine without needing a bunch of time or equipment. She also offers online yoga classes every week on Sundays, which you'll hear more about at the end.

Welcome back to the Mighty Mamahood podcast, friends! This week, I had on Michelle Valiukenas who came on to talk about her personal experiences with child loss, and the foundation she started to help other parents and families struggling with difficult health situations.
Michelle Valiukenas is the proud mom of her angel Sweet Pea, who she lost due to miscarriage, her angel daughter Colette Louise who she lost at nine days old, and her only living child, her rainbow baby, Elliott Miguel. Inspired by her journey with Colette, Michelle and her husband founded The Colette Louise Tisdahl Foundation, whose mission is to improve outcomes of pregnancy, childbirth, prematurity, and infancy, as well as aid in the grieving process through financial assistance, education, and advocacy. Their flagship program financially assists families dealing with high-risk and complicated pregnancies, NICU stays, and loss. The organization’s ability to help families relies on donations and grants and they are grateful if you are able to donate. Michelle also participates and advocates on issues of maternal health, maternal mortality, infant health and safety, and pregnancy complications. Michelle lives in Glenview, Illinois with her son Elliott, husband Mark, and dog Nemo.

Happy Tuesday, mighty mamas! For the month of January, I am focusing on some content to inspire and encourage you not just in motherhood, but life in general. During this time of year where everyone is making resolutions to eat healthier, lose weight, and watch less Netflix, I like to share about other things we can do for our mental and emotional health, and overall well-being. This week we have on Kris Larson, author of the Simple and Soulful blog. We spend our time here talking about living an intentional and fulfilling life, and not just getting stuck in the monotonous, day-to-day routine that life, and motherhood, often bring to us. Join us for a conversation about the ways we "fall short", and how we can make better, more "on-purpose" use of our time.
