Instead, we are re-releasing one of our first episodes: our birth stories! This episode brings you down memory lane of Talia's birth and Kristen's first two births. We hope you will enjoy this and have a wonderful cap to your holiday season!

Episode 73: Chatting With Rosalia Rivera From Consent Parenting Dec 12, 2019

Show notes

This week Kristen & Talia get to pick the brain of Rosalia from Consent Parenting. She brings us on her journey to motherhood, and her three different births. We get to hear about how she managed depression during her third pregnancy, and her introduction to meditation. We dive deep into the culture we can create in our home of consent parenting and what this means. We get to hear about some ways we can discuss this with grandparents, as well as how to navigate some tricky things adults might say to kids when they show their affection differently than the adult was hoping. We ask for statistics on sexual abuse, and learn about the age children are now being introduced to pornography and why that matters. Rosalia was a wealth of information!

Episode 70: Chatting With Lauren Floris Nov 21, 2019

Show notes

This week we get to chat with Lauren Floris, host of the Up & Running Podcast, Olympic Trials Qualifier in the marathon, and mom of two. We have such a fun conversation chatting about birth stories, transitioning to motherhood and multiple kids, how the heck to get dinner on the table with so many balls in the air, and more. We got pretty caught up in our conversation so we did not get into any listener questions. We also discuss her podcast, as well as raising girls with body image pressures in mind.
