69. HERstory: Elicia Shepard on Closing the Gap Between Stay at Home Moms and Working Moms Mar 29, 2021

Show notes

Elicia Shepard joins the podcast again and brings a real take on her life as a stay-at-home mama. Her vulnerability with topics like isolation in the pandemic, sex and intimacy struggles in the early baby years, and finding purpose outside of motherhood were inspiring. This episode helps to build a bridge between mothers who work outside of the home and those who stay home with their children and we hope to continue to bridge this gap through conversations like this one.

Thank you Elicia for your words and we hope you all enjoy the episode!

68. Editing Your Life Mar 22, 2021

Show notes

As women, there are many areas where we can edit our life to become the best version of ourselves. The little things we do on a daily basis can add up to big changes over time. We all know the heavy feeling of overconsuming thoughts and being pulled into an unhealthy obsession at times. Pairing that with a need for multitasking and it can be a recipe for disaster.

Today we discuss a few strategies that have worked for us to combat overwhelm and feel more centered in life. We hope it can help prompt some solutions for you, too.

66. Toxic Positivity Mar 08, 2021

Show notes

We live in a culture that loves positivity- people tend to value, respect, and admire it. But what happens if we're too positive? It can become toxic.

If we start to suppress or talk ourselves out of any negative emotion we come across- we aren't allowing ourselves the full human experience.

Today, we dive into a lot of details about toxic positivity- what it is and why it can be a problem. We chat about the ways that we're working through it and what has helped us on that journey.

64. Yellow Flags Feb 22, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, we discuss yellow flags. We all have them. Those moments in time when you aren't feeling yourself- maybe you're less patient with your kiddos, you're quicker to anger with your partner, you're feeling overstimulated to the point that you need to put on headphones.

This continues to be a challenging time for women- in a lot of ways. So many of us are feeling stretched thin and without our normal support nets.

Today, we focus on how to recognize your yellow flags and reactions in order to change course OR figure out what you need more or less of.

Oftentimes- you aren't an angry partner or an impatient mother- you are just not getting the support or care that YOU need to function your best.

We're right there with you and honored to bring this important conversation to light today.

62. HERself Expert: Vanessa Marin, Sex Therapist. All of Your Sex Questions Answered PART 2 Feb 08, 2021

Show notes

Sex therapist Vanessa Marin ( @vanessamarintherapy ) is back on the podcast today. Her first episode (episode 21) was the most listened to episode of 2020...and in this one she brings the SAME goodness.

Sex and intimacy are a big part of relationships, but this information can feel underserved for those in long-term relationships. Sometimes as couples, we can let this important piece fall to the wayside as we try to do ALL the things (motherhood, working, keeping up with the house, trying to make sure everyone is fed, etc. etc.).

Today, Vanessa helps remind us why sex is important. Not just for your partner- but for YOU. She dives into questions about female sex drive, how to make sure intimacy doesn't just feel like another demand, and how to start to reconnect to this part of your relationship.

You can join us for Vanessa's 30 day sex challenge HERE!
