Stay ConnectedAfter swapping stories and stiff drinks about the challenges of adulting with friends, Heather decided to create a space where she could gab about her experiences while spotlighting experts; from #bossbabes to parenting whispers, and she is bringing you along for the ride.
Each episode will feature raw moments, hilarious stories, expert tips and guidance to help listeners discover their secret sauce to finding their rhythm between work and motherhood.
Welcome to “A Space for Sōl.”
This week's episode is going to be a special one. We're sitting down with a big time investigative news producer and she's sharing how she leaves her work at the door to be present with her family. Being in an intense job like hers or the medical field, traveling, law enforcement or healing practices you see and feel things that are different than normal work “fire drills”. It's heavy! How do you avoid bringing that home?
This is an EXCITING episode! Dare I say, one you have been waiting for? We are all on the edge of our seat to hear about new baby #2 tips and tricks and relish in all the snuggle stories. This week Heather joins us on her maternity leave to dish all things baby girl Sutton. We discuss everything from her delivery story to introducing Vaughn to his new sister, to family transition with baby #2! I ask her all the questions about what I can expect for when my lil girl arrives in about a month. Can't get enough of all the deets? Visit our blog where Heather shares the full delivery story.
You gotta have faith faith aaaa faith... BABY! George Micheal knew what was up. Life tests you, it's challenging and it's so beautiful. We are big believers in needing to have faith to get through these phases of life. Today on the podcast we're talking about the moments we had to believe it would work out, why faith and spirituality help us through and our practices around trusting in the process.
YOU GUYS, we’re featured as guests on another podcast and can’t wait to share the episode with you! We hopped on with Kanika Chadda Gupta, the host of That’s Total Momsense, to talk all things mompreneurship and how we find our rhythm in this chaotic world that we created.. #thejuggleisreal
Plus this Friday, Kanika will share her top 5 tips on parenting twins, plus one all under 2 years old on the blog. We can’t even imagine! For years Kanika prided herself on having mastered the art of work-life balance, dedicating time to her career, husband, friends, dance, working out, and cooking… until she became a mom of twins and had a newborn a year later, that is. #holyhandsfull Her priorities changed and her world went through a paradigm shift.
This week is chock full of tips to juggle work, life and your growing family. Have some secrets of your own to managing it all? We would love to hear more from you! Head to our latest Insta post and drop some knowledge bombs on the Sōlspace community.
Answer…BIG FAT FALSE! Anyone who tells you it isn’t, then #byefelicia. Seriously. We’re passionate about this one and are chatting about it on the podcast today.
Here’s the thing, it won't be "work" like doing a day job you hate feels like but BELIEVE US it is work! It will be hard. It will be tiring, invigorating and so many things all in one. It will be worth it.
If you don’t agree with us that’s ok, but we’re pretty sold on this one as we’re pulling late nights, early mornings, weekend work to balance chasing our dreams to fulfill our personal passions with Sōlspace all while working our day jobs and being present mothers. It’s a sacrifice and fulfilling at the same time.

Ladies, it’s about time people start talking about the postpartum care that is so needed for our poor little vajay-jay’s. So we decided we need to practice what we preach and brought a pelvic floor expert on today's episode, Marcy Crouch, PT, DPT, WCS aka The Down There Doc. Marcy is someone Heather met through the Happy Mom Conference (remember way back when we gave two tickets to this conf away!) and loved her personality and passion for female health. She’s seriously amazing and sheds some light during this week’s podcast on our pelvic floor - how important it is, how it can be weakened (even if you’ve never been pregnant) and even chats about some delivery stuff too! It’s a really interesting and hilarious podcast. One we’re proud of because it’s crazy that we shoot babies out of our bodies or have issues down there and there aren’t many known resources (especially that are covered by insurance) to help us stay at our optimal health! No more have a baby and see you in 6 weeks. Tune in and get to know why that’s no longer acceptable, or ok for your body!
It was time to bring in a professional to hash out how we’re going to survive our future. Today, we’re getting the download about going from 1-2 kids from one of our favorite therapists, Sahar Martinez LMFT. She shares her experience on going from 1-2 and how she coaches her clients through this transition.
If you follow us on Instagram you’ve seen we’re asking A LOT of questions as we get closer to expanding our little crew. You also may recognize Sahar from our last Feed Your Sōl event! She rocked the communication workshop session and we’re so happy to have her back for you guys!
Tune in and pray for us… we’re entering the crazy zone!

Where did you go? This is a question Mom’s tend to ask themselves after being thrusted into motherhood. Where did I go? Who am I now? What has happened to my life? It sounds dramatic until you’re in the vortex of becoming a parent and quickly realized your life has changed forever.
It took both of us a while to process our new normal with baby #1 and now we don’t know any other way of life - but it took work to find our rhythm. Maybe rhythm is the new “balance” because once we found that we felt a little like ourselves again. Today on the podcast we’re chatting about preserving your identity through the transition of motherhood.
Becoming a parent doesn’t mean you have to completely change and abandon your past. It doesn’t mean you can’t still be that fun, happy, sexy girl who loves to dance while spilling her cocktail AND an incredible mother who is passionate about her significant other and family life.
It’s about finding those pieces you want to take from your pre-parenthood life and figuring out how to weave those into your new chapter. Maybe it’s dance parties with your kiddo(s), maybe it’s making sure you have one solo night with the girls a month to do you. Maybe it’s scheduling in date night and creating at home dates to have 1:1 time with your significant other.
Whatever it is we feel you and know finding your rhythm is important. If you haven’t already make a goal to sit down this week and decide what you need, then communicate it ti to those who support you so they can help and keep you accountable.
