MMP Ep 276: Positive parenting in tough moments with Lindsay Ford Sep 28, 2022

This week Jess sits down with Lindsay Ford, positive parenting coach and author to talk about how to work through parenting moments that feel like they’re going completely off the rails. What to do if you parent in a way that doesn't align with your beliefs, how to work through it, recover, and hopefully have less "off the rails" moments in the future. This episode is so valuable and honoring of the knowledge that we won't always "get it right" but we can learn from every situation!

Ep 233: Practicing Mindfulness in Parenting with Caverly Morgan Dec 01, 2021

In this episode, Jess sits down with Caverly Morgan, a meditation teacher, nonprofit leader, and visionary to discuss how we can empower our children toward a path of mindfulness and what that can mean for them and the world! We focus on actionable ways to begin mindfulness in our homes, and how focusing on our own mindfulness practice as parents and caregivers can be the lead domino in helping our children learn.

Caverly Morgan is a meditation teacher, nonprofit leader, and visionary. She is the founder of Presence Collective, dedicated to igniting personal transformation and collective awakening. She is also the founder and Lead Contemplative of Peace in Schools — a nonprofit which created the nation's first for-credit mindfulness class in public high schools. Caverly blends the original spirit of Zen with a modern nondual approach. Her practice began in 1995 and has included eight years of training in a silent Zen monastery. She has been teaching contemplative practice since 2001. Caverly is the author of A Kids Book About Mindfulness. Her new book for adults will be released through Sounds True in the fall of 2022.

We hope you learn something new today that empowers you to think critically about your life in a constructive way!

This episode tackles organizing everything from emails to photos to files - common mistakes people make with digital clutter, and what happens when you can get a handle on your digital space! We hope you enjoy!

MMP Ep 165: Stephanie Young on Raising a Child Who’s “Differently Wired” Aug 12, 2020

This week, Laura sits down for a chat with Stephanie Young, who shares her beautiful, real, and raw motherhood experience. Like many of us, Steph is working to find the elusive balance between full-time work, young kids, and self care. But for her this also includes navigating the unfamiliar terrain of raising a child who is “differently wired”. Steph’s son, Bailey, was diagnosed with high-functioning autism when he was just turning 3, and after reaching out in hopes of bringing this conversation to the podcast so that more moms might feel solidarity through similar journeys, Steph so graciously and openly agreed to come share her own. Steph is not a trained expert in the field of neurodiversity; she is here to share her empowering and ever so real story and offer her perspective to help others who may feel lonely in this experience. This podcast is a safe space to share, and I have found that the most learning and solidarity comes from real mamas sharing real stories. We are in this together.

MMP Episode 158: Sustainability and Health Benefits of Responsibly Sourced Seafood with Randy Hartnell Jun 24, 2020

In this episode, Jess sits down with Randy Hartnell, CEO and founder of Vital Choice Wild Seafood and Organics, a company that we know and love well! It was such an honor to have him on to speak on the creation of Vital Choice and the state of sustainability in the seafood industry. We covered what's going on in the seafood industry to promote environmental sustainability, how to responsibly source your seafood, the difference between farmed vs. wild seafood, the health benefits of regular seafood in your diet, and concerns of purity and contaminants in certain kinds of seafood. IT WAS MINDBLOWING. I personally haven't been so enthralled by a topic in a long time! We have always loved seafood, and after learning more, we make an effort to have some sort of Vital Choice seafood or supplement in our diet multiple times a week!

Randy Hartnell is CEO of VitalChoice.com, the leading online seafood company he and his wife Carla founded in 2001. Randy loves helping his customers live healthier lives by providing reliable access to safe, sustainable seafood, and educating them about the far-reaching impact of their seafood choices on our health, society, and the environment. Prior to founding Vital Choice, Randy spent more than twenty years as an Alaskan commercial fisherman. He has a degree in English Literature from UC, Berkeley. His first book, The Seafood Prescription—Live a Healthier, Happier, Longer Life with Nature’s Perfect Food, is due out later this year. He and wife Carla reside in the Pacific Northwest.

MMP Ep. 137: The RESIST approach, feminist parenting, and respectful parenting with Hannah & Kelty of the Upbringing Podcast Jan 22, 2020

This week, Jess sits down with Hannah and Kelty, twins, mothers, and feminist co-hosts of the podcast and parenting resource Upbringing. This episode was like chatting with your two best friends all about the real and honest struggles of parenting, what it means to be a modern mama, and so much more. We talk about the RESIST approach, an alternative to conventional discipline, what it means to be a feminist parent, and how to set and maintain healthy boundaries while being respectful to our kids big feelings. We showed up BIG TIME in this episode and went deep on all of the parenting things I've always struggled with - and I'm sure I'm not alone! I hope you guys love this one as much as I did!

Hannah and Kelty are twins, mothers and feminist co-hosts of the podcast and parenting resource Upbringing. Certified in Simplicity Parenting and Positive Discipline and trained in the respectful parenting approach, RIE, Hannah & Kelty are leading a movement that empowers parents to grow up alongside their kids for a happier home and a brighter future. Upbringing is grounded in the Resist Approach, a progressive parenting practice that replaces conventional discipline with 6 alternative powers, designed to nurture our kids' innate freedoms and authentic spirits. Hannah & Kelty believe that nurturing kids’ inner wisdom and authority — so often expressed via their resistance— can be a brave and beautiful way to raise a generation of activists, empaths, disruptors and change-makers! They're growing up alongside their kids on an organic veggie farm just outside Portland, OR that they share with their partners and kids- ages 3, 4, 5 and 6.

MMP Ep 126: Kristin Kaschak on her raw miscarriage experience Nov 06, 2019

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode shares a very real and raw miscarriage experience.

In this episode, Laura sits down with Kristin Kaschak, a dear friend and the brilliant mind behind a Big Brash Life. Kristin shows up in this space to share the very real, raw, hard experience of miscarriage. Unfortunately, women are so often set up to go through the experience of pregnancy loss alone. Not only that, but we're made to believe the actual physical experience will be no more uncomfortable than a heavy period. Kristin is here to call bulls*t, to share her experience, to process in her own way, and to let every woman who's gone through this incredibly hard journey to know she is not alone.

About our guest:

Kristin is a Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, CrossFit Level 2 Trainer, Holistic Lifestyle Coach, Certified Cicerone, Certified BirthFIT Coach, Traveler, Eater, Drinker, and Taker of No Bullshit. A Big Brash Life is not a health blog, or a nutrition site. It’s not just travel or a fitness guide. It’s a lifestyle blog. The most millennial of all blogs. At the end of the day here's what Kristin hopes you'll take away from her work: Health is not a struggle. Your body is not the enemy. Living a life that prioritizes health, and living one that you enjoy, and these two things are NOT mutually exclusive.

MMP Ep. 119: Bostyn's story Sep 18, 2019

“WARNING: this episode is about the heartbreaking loss of still birth. While we know this is an incredibly important conversation that needs to happen, we also want to be sure to let you know before reading the show notes or tuning in, in case this might be a triggering topic. We are so grateful for this open, loving community and for Sydelle for sharing Bostyn’s story.”

In this episode, Laura sits down with Sydelle Tungsvik for an incredibly important, moving, inspiring, but also inexplicably hard episode. Sydelle shares the story of her daughter Bostyn's birth. Bostyn was born still at 38 weeks, and it is an honor to share her story, the immeasurable impact she's had on her parents' lives, and the many ways she lives on in light through her parents and the work Sydelle is doing with The Baby Steps Foundation to speak openly about Bostyn and connect with other mamas who've experienced the heartache of loss.

This is an episode we all need to hear. 1 in 160 mothers experience a birth of a still baby, and this conversation and the support for these mamas isn't what it needs to be. Thank you for listening, for supporting, for loving like this community does best. We are so grateful to Sydelle for sharing Bostyn's story and for all of you. Sydelle is a pediatric nurse and wife to Jt who is a police officer in our home city. They were both born and raised in the PNW. Their world has been flipped upside down after their daughter Bostyn died at 38 weeks from a true knot in her cord in February. Since then she has been trying to figure out how to make sense in life all while honoring her daughter.

MMP Ep. 107: All About Cycle Syncing with Zesty Ginger Jun 26, 2019

In this episode, Jess sits down with Megan and Alex of Zesty Ginger to chat all things cycle syncing! This episode is full of amazing insight into what's happening during a woman's cycle, how to work WITH not against your cycle, and to embrace the natural rhythms, strengths, and needs of our feminine cycles. We chat about how you can adjust your movement, foods, tasks and supplements to feel your best, and work with your energy at every phase of the cycle. You will absolutely be blown away by this episode!

Alex (M.D.) and Megan (Health Coach & Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner) work with pre-menopausal women in an online group format. We focus on balancing hormones and supporting detoxification by teaching women to use the phases of their menstrual cycles to their advantage. The natural ebb and flow that happens to our hormones, organ systems, and bodies overall as women is there to renew and strengthen us. When we work with the natural cycles of our bodies, we allow ourselves to heal and recover on a level that few of us ever reach when we operate within the “rules” of the hectic modern world. Even the alternative medicine world has lost its connection to how the female body operates. Most protocols and health programs out there show no regard for the cycles that govern the flow of our bodies as women. By focusing on different activities, elixirs, foods and rituals each week of your cycle we can help the body to detoxify naturally.

MMP Ep. 105: Listener Melissa Nicolai guides us on how to create your own organic home garden Jun 12, 2019

In this episode, Jess sits down with listener Melissa Nicolai, a budding novice organic gardener to chat all about how to create your own organic home garden from a layman's perspective. This episode is incredibly relatable, and a must for anyone dipping their toe into the topic of growing their own food.

Melissa Nicolai lives in Southern California with her husband, Blake and 13 month old daughter Abigail. In an effort to holistically address some health concerns she began examining many areas of her life and discovered that one of the biggest ways to impact her health was making some adjustments to what she was eating. After reading Eating on the Wild Side by Jo Robinson she told her husband that she wanted to start an organic garden in the backyard and start growing her own food.

MMP Ep. 104: Caitlyn Collins on the revolution needed to Make Motherhood Work Jun 05, 2019

In this episode, Laura sits down for a chat with Caitlyn Collins, Assistant Professor of Sociology at Washington University in St. Louis. We deep dive into her research examining the production and consequences of social inequality in the US. There were tears, goosebumps, anger, and so so much enlightenment. This is a conversation EVERYONE should hear, eliciting emotions that will create change. Don't miss it, friends! And please spread the word.

Caitlyn is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Washington University in St. Louis. Her research examines the production and consequences of social inequality. Caitlyn uses qualitative methods to understand gender inequality in the workplace and in family life.

Her current project is a cross-national interview study of 135 working mothers in Sweden, Germany, Italy, and the United States. These four countries offer distinct policy approaches to reconciling work-family conflict. She examines how different ideals of gender, motherhood, and employment are embedded in these policies, and how they shape the daily lives of working mothers in these countries.

Her book based on this research called Making Motherhood Work: How Women Manage Careers and Caregiving was recently published by Princeton University Press.

Caitlyn is a 2019 Nancy Weiss Malkiel Scholar (Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation) and a 2018 Work and Family Researchers Network Early Career Fellow. She earned her PhD in Sociology from The University of Texas at Austin and her BA in Sociology from Whitman College. Her research is supported by organizations including the National Science Foundation, American Association of University Women, German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), and the Swedish Council of America.

"Guest Interview: Navigating Challenging Behaviors in Toddlers with Michelle Carlson

In this episode, Jess sits down with Michelle Carlson of Peace and Parenting to chat all about how to navigate trouble behaviors in toddlers while remaining respectful and cooperative. This episode was so incredibly insightful with regards to hitting, biting, talking back, and other common and normal behaviors in our kiddos! Michelle chats strategies to stay engaged, present, and calm while parenting through these challenging behaviors!

Download in iTunes HERE & on Stitcher HERE!

Michelle lives in Los Angeles with her two girls 9 and 12. Before becoming a Hand in Hand certified instructor in 2015, she worked for 12 years in public schools as a teacher and counselor. She also served as an adjunct professor in the Department of Education instructing in the teacher credentialing program. None of which prepared her to be a mom. After years of consequences, bribes and star charts she found Hand in Hand parenting, created by Patty Wipfler. It reshaped the relationship she shares with her daughters, and she credits it with changing her life.

She is passionate about helping others find their way through the murky business of being a connected parent. She loves leading groups and finds the dynamic transformative. Michelle also strongly believes that listening partnerships are the cornerstone to moving through difficulties.

Michelle has helped herself and others make meaningful connections, work on sibling rivalry, and alleviate school problems. Aggression, fears, withdrawnness and sleep are just some of the struggles she has shared and helped others rectify.

She holds a Master’s Degree in Education speaks fluent Spanish, has been trained as a Council in Schools Facilitator and an ADL Trainer fighting against bias of all types on school campuses.
