Show notes

Coming from two people who have struggled with body love for many years, we are promising you right now, mama: YOU NEED THIS EPISODE. It changed our perspectives, and actually put us on the road to body love.

Today we are joined by the phenomenal Ashley Reeves (Ashley’s Fresh Fix). She is a blogger, creator, business owner and BODY LOVE expert. Guys, everything she says is gold. We were in tears, allowing ourselves to *finally* appreciate and love ourselves after every word she said.

In this episode we talk about how to “love where you live” (AKA your body!) How to spend less time obsessing over your appearance, how to TRULY find gratitude for the body you have, and to release yourself from the prison of self-hate.

Listen, share, soak in this episode, ladies. It is everything you need even if you don’t think you need it.

Episode 10: You’ve Got it in You! Coping with Fatigue, Anxiety & Postpartum Depression May 28, 2019

Show notes

In today’s episode, we open up about fatigue, anxiety and postpartum depression. We’ve experienced all three at different times, and we are in the thick of a couple of them now!

Postpartum depression can be all-consuming, and it’s more than just a bad day.

The polarizing fears that come with anxiety are something completely different, yet equally difficult. We will chat vulnerably about night terrors, irrational fears and how cope.

And lastly, Fatigue. So often we sweep this under the rug and “just deal with it” as moms. But it needs to be acknowledged.

We will give you practical solutions for coping with fatigue, anxiety and depression as well as encouragement.

We hope you know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. We’ve been there. We ARE there. Right along with you. So hit play, and cry with us today, mama. We are strong, and we’ve got it in us to keep fighting!

Tully (2018) is the movie we mentioned about postpartum fatigue- it’s rated R, and has adult content, but gives a good look into the life of a tired new mom. Reach out to us via email so we can help you find it, and also find an edited version.

Episode 9: More than Self-Care: SOUL Care May 21, 2019

Show notes

“Take time to make your soul happy.” - a quote we read recently that made us think, and think some more. What are you doing for YOUR soul, mama? ‘Soul’ is the combination of body and spirit- so how are you caring for yours??

In today’s episode, we are going to talk about the long tedious job that motherhood is- whether you work outside, or stay at home! And we are long-deserving of some soul care!

Today, we will share with you the ways we care for our mama souls, connect with our “pre-motherhood” selves, and some goals we have for doing more in the future! We will talk love languages, wins and fails, and the times we were basically doctors!! (Not really.)

We hope this episode inspires you to make time for you, and to do it well!

Show notes

We’ve all felt lonely. Whether it was after a new baby, a big move, or just the day to day of caring for our little ones. It’s something we don’t always care to admit, and can weigh us down like no other!

We know it hurts, and we are here to help! In today’s episode, we will discuss some of our most lonely moments as moms, and how we tried to combat them. We will give the best advice we can, and meet you where you stand. It may require some action, or a shift in mindset, but you CAN feel better, and we want you to know it! In the end, we believe that loneliness is okay.

This mom thing is no joke, but just remember that you aren’t alone- and even those surrounded by friends can be experiencing the deepest sense of loneliness. So let’s do this thing together! Hit play, and join us for a vulnerable discussion on this often avoided topic.
