#20: How Our Friendships & Relationships Changed Post-Motherhood Oct 06, 2023

Show notes

Per your request, we recorded this raw, introspective, humble and at times humorous look into how some of our closest friendships shifted- for better or worse- once we became moms.
We share the awkward, odd, and redemptive friendship renaissances and demises. Friendships aside, we analyze how the relationships with our husbands changed since becoming parents. Do we believe our children “come first” or we as a couple “come first?”
You’ll have to tune in to find out. Lastly, we reflect on how we see our moms differently since becoming moms ourselves.

#19: Stay at Home Mom or Work from Home? You Asked, We Answered! Sep 22, 2023

Show notes

Since we’re not fans of the term “stay-at-home mom” because of its implications that the mom doesn’t really “work” but rather just chills out at home, we’re comparing our lives as a full-time mom at home vs. a full-time working (in the traditional corporate sense) from home mom. That was a mouthful!
Context: Kat resigned from her high-pressure, corporate career two months prior to her son’s birth and never returned to work- by choice- and he is now 14 months old (at the time this episode aired). April returned to her full-time corporate career in a work-from-home arrangement when her daughter was 4 months old. April’s daughter is weeks away from her first birthday (also at the time of this episode airing).
We discuss the highs and lows, pros and cons, what we are looking forward to the most, and what we are grateful for with our respective situations. We also share our tips for moms on how to vet high quality and trustworthy childcare at the end of this episode.

#18: Dissecting the Lancet Breastfeeding Series: An exposé on the commercial milk formula industry Sep 08, 2023

Show notes

In today’s highly-anticipated episode, we call out the most riveting takeaways from the Lancet’s Breastfeeding Series.
What you will learn:

The history of CMF (commercial milk formula)
What “the code” is, why it’s not enforced, and how CMF manufacturers circumvent or directly violate the code at the expense of mothers’ and babies’ health
The specific Machiavellian marketing strategies that CMF conglomerates implement globally in order to capitalize on, exploit, and hoodwink women into believing formula is better for their babies
What is at stake for moms, babies, and society when breastfeeding is replaced by formula
The myth and misleading nature of the push for “gender equality” & our thoughts on positive vs. harmful feminism and its ties to corporatism, the schism of the nuclear family, and how it all relates to how we feed our babies
The precise playbook CMFs use to dupe mothers and undermine breastfeeding
How “experts” spanning from midwives & nurses to doctors & scientists have been bought and paid for and cannot be blindly trusted

If this episode left you feeling angry at CMFs, you're not alone. We leave you with the our call to action (and The Lancet’s) for what can be done to help promote and support breastfeeding.
What ideas do you have to promote exclusive breastfeeding so women are no longer taken advantage of by greedy companies whose claims are completely unsubstantiated by “the science”? Email us or send us an audio note/DM on instagram.

#17: Elimination Communication & The Dirty Diaper Industry Aug 18, 2023

Show notes

The MOTR moms are back! In today's episode, we welcome Nicole Cheever who is a mom of three, EC (Elimination Communication) connoisseur, and co-host of the Go Diaper Free podcast for an illuminating and humbling conversation on all things EC.
Nicole reveals how and when the diaper industry began prying its avaricious claws into busy moms, and how the downward spiral our modern lifestyle rooted in convenience culture has had detrimental psychological and physical impacts when we choose to leave kids in diapers well into toddlerhood and beyond.

EC doesn't have to be this all or nothing idealistic and unattainable endeavor that only crunchy full-time stay-at-home moms can accomplish. Just the opposite, actually! Nicole dissects the assumption that prematurely pottying kids is "traumatic".
After listening to today's episode, you'll hopefully feel assured that regardless of your prior traumas or pitfalls with EC'ing and potty-training and despite your children's ages, you can take simple actions and make mindset shifts to successfully EC and ultimately fully potty train starting right now.

#16: Glyphosate's Insidious Effects on Our Health and Its Epigenetic Impacts on Our Lineage Jul 14, 2023

Show notes

Since Kat was in Italy, April had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Stephanie Seneff, author of the mind-blowing book, Toxic Legacy: How the Weedkiller Glyphosate is Destroying Our Health and Environment.
Even if you think you know everything there is to know about organic and non-GMO food and the impact our food choices have, trust us when we say there is always more to unearth. Dr. Seneff's finding are more than alarming.
In this episode, you will leave with a clearer understanding of:

The difference between organic and non-GMO foods, and why we might be fighting the wrong battle
The role epigenetics plays in our exposure to glyphosate; spoiler alert, we need to be thinking 7 generations ahead!
The ties between glyphosate and the decline in health and the rise of auto-immune and neurological disorders like autism, ADHD, thyroid disease, IBD, cancers, etc.
and so much more!

#15: Raw Reflections (Summer Series): Postpartum Expectations vs. Realities Jun 30, 2023

Show notes

We reminisce and reflect on what we thought postpartum would be like vs. what it actually looked and felt like.

We chat about everything from hair loss, engorgement, body image and physical changes, moods and how our brains changed, our husbands and the support we received, how we’re different now 7-10 months postpartum vs. in the first couple of weeks, and some other TMI topics 😉.
We'd love to hear your experiences with postpartum, especially if you're a first time mom! Be sure to head over to @momsofftherecordpod on IG and share your stories!

#14: Raw Reflections Summer Series: How Exactly Each of Us Practices "80/20" as Crunchy Moms Jun 16, 2023

Show notes

If you’ve already embarked on your crunchy mom journey, you know there is no final destination. The goal post keeps moving!

We each discuss where we are currently with our holistic lifestyle and provide transparency on our crunchy shortcomings. Remember: it’s about the sum of the actions you take the majority of the time versus striving for perfection all of the time since perfection is an illusion.

We share our favorite and must-have crunchy mom brands, products, and practices as well as how we help out one another.

Hear us chat about greenwashing, top toxins we avoid and why, and the hierarchy of the types of eggs and milk.

You’ll understand our individual “whys” in regard to prioritizing our lifestyle choices and the domino effect it has on our children and their future children.

Ever wondered what acupuncture actually entails aside from placing needles in your body, and why so many people swear by it?

How Kat was able to improve her menstrual cycle and successfully become pregnant thanks to Dr. Holly working her magic and sans any pharmaceuticals

Before you go the IVF or IUI route, why giving acupuncture an honest chance is well worth it

The impact that disharmony has on your bodily systems and how acupuncture can help

How acupuncture helps with pregnancy maladies such as morning sickness

Can acupuncture really help you go into labor?

Why postpartum moms may also want to consider acupuncture

Dr. Holly’s take on collaborative care with Western medicine practitioners - yay or nay?

How and why acupuncture is the gold standard at healing and balancing your hormones, and all the more reason for you to ditch the pill and your IUD if you haven’t already

#11: Dumb Doctor Dogma and Evidence-Based BS with Dr. Stu Fischbein of Birthing Instincts May 05, 2023

Show notes

The moms sit down with the one and only Dr. Stu Fischbein of the Birthing Instincts podcast. Like April and Kat, Dr. Stu is 100% unfiltered, uncensored, and unafraid of challenging the establishment. This episode highlights some of our favorite Dr. Stu-isms. We hear his take on:

How and why the obstetrics model of care is broken, stemming all the way from Residency to Peer Reviewed papers
Fully trusting our bodies at every stage of womanhood
Why for the first time in history the powers that be are recommending untested jabs on pregnant women
“Standard of care” and “informed consent”
What the Arrive Trial is and why it’s bogus
Why it’s valid to have a healthy dose of skepticism in regard to ACOG guidelines and medical journal conclusions
Vitamin K shot: relative vs. actual risk, the Vitamin K drops, and more
Why vaginal breech and twin births have been on the decline
How women who desire to have an at-home breech or twin birth can find resources
Why more women are turning to free/wild birth
“Stage 1 thinking”
What makes the OB profession unique (hint: it’s not the ability to perform a c-section)
How fear is the most powerful driver behind decisions
“Cognitive dissonance”
What unethical medical care looks like
