Here’s the thing many of us fail to realize until we step into motherhood ourselves - motherhood looks different to everyone. It’s a journey not a destination. How yesterday went, has zero cause and effect as to how today might be going. A new mom telling everyone how much she loves her baby holds zero indication as to how she’s actually doing mentally. A mom can love their new baby and be deeply struggling with the transition into motherhood or the postpartum experience. Today's conversation is a short one with just a couple tips for those of us struggling as to how to best...

In this solo conversation, Britt breaks down the current trend of wellness influencers moving away from vegan lifestyles and announcing the reintroduction of meat back into their diets.

Do not...

Stepping into the role of the mother brought Britt to the depths of her soul, guiding her through a spiritual journey of self-discovery like none other. Becoming a mom came with so many blissful and lifelong, memory-making moments in correlation with other darker and sometimes scarier thought-induced moments of reality too. As Britt has learned along the way, this change can bring up our shadows and sides of ourselves we don’t always like to be confronted with. In today’s solo episode Britt openly shares about some of the not so pretty moments she encountered in her initial...

Today’s conversation is coming to you in a bit of a different format in that Britt was recently interviewed on the Unmasked & Open Hearted podcast where Shannon Keating hosted her for an unforgettable conversation about Britt’s recent journey through pregnancy and motherhood – and Britt felt it was important to also host the conversation here on this channel too. In what ended up being a quite powerful conversation, Britt opened up about the various experiences she had to navigate on her journey into and now through, motherhood. The two spoke about miscarriage, pregnancy,...

“Now I’m not here to tell you that quitting your sugar habit is going to be easy. It’s going to take dedication, discipline, and some creativity and flexibility on your end - but it’s worth it mama. It’s worth it to get to the other side and take back some control in your life. Because as a mom, I now see how ungrounding it is to feel completely out of control of everything in your life, all of the time. Feeling out of uncontrol pulls you away from your center and even leaves you questioning your reality, I get it.”
