Mighty As A Mother

Marriage is a living thing. Early on in our relationships, we shower our partners with love and attention (obviously, we want them to want to marry us!) Yet once kids enter the scene, it’s not uncommon for partners to begin living parallel lives, with passion and deep connection unintentionally falling by the wayside (hello sleepless nights, toddler tantrums, and packed schedules!). 

In the wake of motherhood, women are facing a new, modern dilemma. Becoming a mother affects so much of who we are - psychologically, emotionally, physically, and professionally. By listening to today’s show, be prepared to understand how our well-being as new mothers and the well-being of our relationships impact our identities. 

Today we bring you our first ever bonus episode - Honoring Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. 

Our first episode of our new Maternal Mental Health series is for you if you've ever felt like OMG why did NO ONE tell me how hard this was going to be. We sit down with fellow mom and licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Jessie Hines to discuss everything from why the "6 week postpartum check-up" is simply not enough, how prevalent anxiety and depression are inside motherhood, and ways in which we can prioritize our own mental well-being before caring for others (kids in /episode/index/show/e5058bdc-f068-4c57-b7e0-b16991dd6b02/id/29093353

Employment lawyer turned social media influencer, recipe developer, and content creator Nicole Modic sat down with us for an eye-opening and candid conversation on how she prioritizes pursuing her passions (spoiler alert - she has a lot of them!) while raising her two loving boys. 

We are so excited to be chatting today with Jennie Blumenthal. After spending 20 years in Corporate America helping Fortune 500 companies manage multi-million dollar growth strategies, Jennie left her partnership in a global consulting firm to launch her own leadership company. In addition to her role as CEO, she also serves as a professional speaker, an Adjunct Professor, Board member, and the bestselling author of Corporate Rehab: Ditch the Hustle Culture and Thrive Again.

In this episode, we explore the concept of leadership and give helpful insights for mamas who aspire to become inspirational leaders - whether that’s leading hundreds of team members, the PTA, or your own family! 

Mama - do you ever feel like you are living in your own motherhood without the proper support around you? If so, you are most definitely not alone. It’s 2023, and the concept of a “village” for families in the U.S. is not what it used to be in prior decades (or centuries!). Join us as we dive into the critical importance of having physical, mental, and emotional support in our lives as busy women (and moms!). We'll uncover why having a village is an absolute game-changer for not only our famili /episode/index/show/e5058bdc-f068-4c57-b7e0-b16991dd6b02/id/29093383
