Episode 011: Almost a year into this motherhood journey...WOAH! Mar 05, 2021

Whats up mama friend?!

So, my baby is about to turn one.....I AM NOT OKAY!!!! HAHA like, where did the time go?!

This also means I'm coming up on one year in to my motherhood journey, and in this episode I wanted to shed some light on a few of the biggest things that I've learned along the way.

Everyones journey is different, maybe you can't relate to mine, but just know this is a *JUDGEMENT FREE ZONE* and us mamas are all in this together.

I reference in the episode a postpartum nurse that I follow on Instagram that has taught me SO much within this first year...her name is Karrie Locher @karrie_locher and she is absolutely incredible. If you're not already, go give her a follow!

And as always, if you loved this episode, I'd love it if you'd share it with your other mama friends, leave me a review, or take a screen shot and share it on your social media and TAG me so I can say thank you!!!

Episode 010: Feeling guilty...lets talk about it Feb 19, 2021

Hey mama!

Sorry I left ya hangin last week! Looks like being a super mom and juggling alllllllla the things just isn't for me. The icky feeling of overwhelm started to creep in and I had to adjust quick. Moving forward, this podcast will release episodes on a BIWEEKLY basis instead of a weekly basis moving forward.

Now for todays topic, I wouldn't to chat a little about guilt.

Whether its feeling like we're doing TOO much, or not enough, it can really get us down.

Sometimes we have to restructure things and thats okay.

The great thing as moms, we learn to adapt, because we have to!

This pep talk is for you, but its also for me.

If you vibe with this girl, lets connect.

If you have some suggestions for future episode topics, lets connect.

If you wanna be mom friends and talk about our babies, LETS CONNECT!

Instagram is my main platform, so connect with me there if you're not already: @ashley_spalding17

Thanks for being here mama.

I'll talk to you soon.

Episode 009: OCCUPATION: Kick a$$ mama! Feb 05, 2021

Hey mama!

I had the craziest thought pop in to my head today and I felt like...maybe you could relate?

I've been through a few different career paths since graduating high school 10 years ago. I get a few years in, and I either change my mind and want to do something else, or my passion for that just goes away. And then I became a mom....and I'm head over heels in love with every single aspect and thought "What if being a MOM is what I'm MEANT to do?!" Like the rest of these things I'm doing and going for are all just passion projects to fuel my soul and fill my cup and help me grow and evolve?

Let me spill it here for ya!

Let me know if you relate in any way! Or just pop on over to IG and say hi and let me know what you think of this episode :) @ashley_spalding17

Talk to you soon mama!

Episode 008: What to Expect When You're Expecting...What They DON'T Tell You! Jan 29, 2021

Hey mama!

Ever catch yourself saying "I was NOT prepared for that!" while on your motherhood journey? Yeah. Same sis.

So today, we're chatting about the things they DIDN'T tell you before becoming a mom!

I asked on my Instagram some things that other mamas didn't know and share a couple of those..then go in to sharing a few of my own "WTF" moments!

I'm sure there's plenty more, but #mombrain I forgot.

Grab a glass of wine or some coffee, relax, and lets enjoy together.

If you have a moment that you've experienced in motherhood that you weren't prepared for and I didn't share here, slide in to my DM's on insta and tell me mama! Lets connect! I'm sure it'll be an "OMG" or a "SAMEEEEEEE" moment for us haha!

Cheers to us beautiful mama!

Episode 007: [PEP TALK] Love the skin you're in! Jan 22, 2021

Hey mama!

I'm talking today about our BODIES! I know...daunting for some. But I want to touch on the term "bouncing back" and really encourage you to embrace every step of this postpartum journey. You don't need to get your body back, IT DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE! We're just working on adapting to these changes.

Lets remember to love ourselves through every step of this journey. You are strong, beautiful and amazing no matter what you look like or what size you are.

Some body positive influencers I like to follow:

@ashliemolstad

@thetummydiaries

@thebodylovesociety

@kelclight

Keep rockin it mama!

If we're not connected on IG, lets be friends already! Us mamas have to stick together. Head over and follow me @ashley_spalding17

Episode 006: [MINI EPISODE] Mom or Superhero? Jan 15, 2021

Hey mama! I'm super excited to speak to you in this SHORT little mini episode on feeling like you have to be a freaking superhero when you become a mom!

I know social media is so huge right now, and it's really easy to get wrapped up in the comparison game, but I wanted to come on and remind you: your journey isn't hers; her journey isn't yours.

You are already doing EVERYTHING you should be. Don't be so hard on yourself. Your child/children love you no matter what.

It's okay if the dishes and laundry don't get done tonight k?

If we're not already connected on social media, I'd love to connect with you! Follow me on IG @ashley_spalding17 and say hi!

Until next time, I'll talk to you soon mama.

Episode 005: Mama, it's OKAY to be selfish! Jan 08, 2021

Hi Mama! First off, I wanted to just thank you for all the love and support so far! It means SO much to me!!

In today's episode, I wanted to talk about being SELFISH! As moms, we take care of everyone else first. But girl, I want to give you permission, and maybe a little inspiration through my own journey, to do something for YOU!

I share a little bit about my journey leading up to making the decision to go back to nursing school, and let me tell you, it WAS NOT easy. But I feel like this is the path I'm meant to be on. I mention in this episode a podcast episode I listened to on the EmpowerHER podcast with host Kacia Fitzgerald. Here is the link for the episode if you want to check it out:

Episode 002: [BONUS] Bad Moms Christmas Dec 24, 2020

I wanted to come on and speak freely, and let you all know that this year for the holidays...I'm choosing to be a BAD mom.

I didn't go all out. I just did my best. My family is happy and healthy and safe, and that's what matters to me.

I'm not letting the expectation of what the holidays "should" look like cause me stress.
