ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Postpartum can be an overwhelming time. It’s a transition that involves keeping another human being alive while also recovering mentally, emotionally, and physically yourself. It’s a big deal and yet, because it’s a “natural” part of life, people act like moms are just supposed to figure it out with barely any support or guidance.
Today, there are a lot more resources for moms than when I had my first baby almost 10 years ago, but—based on the conversations I’m having with moms–it still seems like we’re sending moms “out to sea” with a new baby and not much support.
In this episode, I’m sharing my best tips and free resources for new moms to help you have a healthy postpartum experience that puts your mental health and well-being at the forefront. These tips come from my personal experience as a mom myself, and also from my work in maternal mental health policy advocacy and public health education.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This episode is Part 3 of my Thrive as a Working Mom series, and we’re closing it out by talking about one of the hardest, most essential parts of motherhood today: expanding your village.
The truth is, most of us are raising kids in isolation—without the kind of built-in community our mothers and grandmothers had. That leaves so many working moms feeling like they’re constantly behind, exhausted, and trying to do the work of an entire community alone .
In this episode, I share:
Why modern motherhood feels so heavy without a village
How to start redefining what “community” looks like in today’s world
Practical ways to bring more support into your life (even if you don’t have family nearby)
How to release guilt around asking for or investing in help
My personal stories of building support systems that allow me to thrive as both a mom and a professional
You are not meant to do this all alone. Expanding your village doesn’t make you weak—it makes you wise. My hope is that this conversation helps you see new possibilities for support, so you can protect your health, your family, and your career.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This episode is Part 2 of my 3-part series, Thrive as a Working Mom. One of the most important—and most complicated—pieces of thriving as a working mom is learning how to share the load at home. In this episode, I open up about my own journey of building a system with my partner, the progress we’ve made, and the challenges that still come with unlearning gender roles and navigating the mental load
I share three practical strategies that have made the biggest difference for us:
Weekly meetings that take the invisible mental load out of my head and put it on the table.
Clear delegation, ownership, and accountability so no one is left guessing (or quietly resentful).
Adjusting expectations and commitments to match our real capacity, not the unrealistic one society pressures us into.
Protecting your energy and creating equity at home isn’t just about making things easier for yourself—it’s about protecting your marriage, your health, and your ability to show up for your family and your career.
My hope is that this episode gives you both validation and practical tools as you navigate the messy, layered work of partnership, parenthood, and everything in between.

This episode is the start of my 3-part series: Thrive as a Working Mom.
As a self-care coach, communications director, and mom of two, I know first-hand how easy it is to give 100% to everyone else until there’s nothing left for yourself.
I know from brutal, personal experience that when you have nothing left to give, everything else in your life suffers. Protecting your health and well-being IS protecting your family and your career.
One of the first steps to protect yourself, your motherhood, and your career is to learn how to create a self-care routine that recharges you, which is the focus of this episode.
I talk about the mindset shifts and practical routines that can help protect you from burnout, and I share personal examples of boundaries you can practice in your own life to help you show up for your family, your work, and yourself.
My hope is that this episode gives you permission to accept your own limitations with compassion, to start where you are, and to build a self-care routine that feels doable — even if it’s just ten minutes at a time.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This episode is about my journey with PMDD and finding an effective treatment.
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder, or PMDD, is a severe form of PMS that affects about 3-8% of women of reproductive age. It can cause depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, brain fog, fatigue, irritability, and rage.
I was diagnosed with PMDD back in 2019, and have spent the majority of my 20’s suffering from this condition that has only gotten worse with time. This looked like spending the entirety of my luteal phase, which is 10-14 days of every month, feeling painfully exhausted, irritable, unable to focus, depressed, and even suicidal. The only thing that got me through these difficult two weeks every month was knowing that as soon as my monthly bleed would start these symptoms would go away, but this was no way to live. PMDD made me feel trapped in my own body, unable to escape the brutality of these symptoms that most doctors told me were just “a normal part of being a woman.”
I hope this episode helps you find a treatment that works for you, and if you don’t have PMDD, but you struggle to advocate for your health, this episode will give you some courage to keep fighting for the good health and healing you deserve.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The healing journey is not linear, and that truth has come up for me yet again with tackling some chronic health issues, specifically premenstrual dysphoric disorder (or PMDD).
As an abuse survivor, it can feel triggering and difficult to spend money and time on my health, especially since I experienced a lot of medical neglect as a child.
In this episode, hear me share how I worked through those feelings and pursued medical treatment for a condition that has been weighing me down for years.
If you struggle to invest time and money on your health, this episode will encourage you to overcome those challenging roadblocks and take care of yourself anyway.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE
September is Suicide Prevention Month. It’s so important that we talk about this to reduce the stigma, especially among moms. Moms experience the added burden of worrying that people will think we are unable to be mothers because we have mental health challenges. What we need is help, not judgment. In this episode, I share tips and strategies you can use to work on healing your depression, anxiety, and low self-worth. I used to have severe postpartum depression and anxiety, and what I share in this episode helped me get out of that darkness and get on the path to healing. If you found this episode helpful, please share it with a friend. Thank you!

ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Self-care is so dang hard to practice, especially on a consistent basis. Why? Some might say that we just need better time management tips. Others might say that if we understood how beneficial self-care is, we would prioritize it with less hesitation. But, if all moms needed was more tips, hacks, and information, we would all be practicing self-care consistently – but, we’re not. In fact, many of us are struggling to practice basic self-care, like showering and brushing our teeth, and I think it’s because beyond the tips, the hacks, and the information, many of us are triggered by self-care because it forces us to confront trauma and harmful beliefs that keep us stuck in cycles of self-neglect because it’s familiar and it aligns with what we believe about ourselves and what society believes about us as women and as mothers. In this episode, I unpack this with clear examples so that you can begin to do the work of confronting the experiences and beliefs that are holding you back from the love and care you deserve.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE
We all feel it, but we don’t talk about it that much. I’m talking about the pressure many of us women, and especially mothers, feel to be exceptional at everything we do — parenting our children, showing up in our marriage, our fitness, our performance at work, our ability to clean and organize our homes. I could go on. There is this pressure to be excellent at an unrealistic number of things, and it’s hurting us. I’ve been noticing this more and more lately, and I’ve been particularly paying attention to how this pressure influences my decisions and day-to-day behavior — and I’m not loving what I’m seeing. This podcast episode is all about bringing this topic out in the open and helping you pinpoint how this pressure is hurting you and actually release it so you can be a more carefree and authentic version of yourself.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE
When I became a mom, I didn’t have anyone to talk to for tips or advice. In my circle of friends, I was the first to have a baby, so people were calling me! It was such a hard and overwhelming time marked by so much mom-guilt and the silent struggle with postpartum depression and anxiety. I made a lot of mistakes and learned so much. In this episode, you’ll hear me share my top 5 mistakes I made as a new mom, and what I wish I did instead. I hope that this episode can help make motherhood just a little bit easier for the next person.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE
I live with PTSD and depression, and I deal with chronic fatigue and chronic pain on a regular basis. It’s not fun! But, over the years, I have learned to manage it because, well, bills still gotta get paid and kids still gotta be raised! We all have those days when we wake up and feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and we just want to crawl back in bed and hide from our responsibilities. But we’re moms! Who’s gonna cover our shift? In this episode, I share my go-to toolbox of strategies and self-care practices that I lean on to help me through days like this. I hope this can help you, too!

ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Don’t you hate it when people tell you that rest is simply a choice? I know I do. For moms, we can’t simply choose between taking care of our children, for example, and taking a nap. There are some responsibilities in life that we HAVE to show up for. So, how do we rest when there are so many important things on our plates? In this podcast episode, I share advice and tips on how to get better at resting and replenishing yourself, alongside the demands that are a valid and normal part of your life.
