Episode 10: Haili's Legit Health Journey Sep 11, 2019

Show notes

Hey ladies!

I am opening up a lot about my health journey! I haven't shared my experience with my health and body in a long time. But I felt like it was time to open up about it again because it's something that has been a huge part of my life since having both of my kids.

I take you back to middle school and how my thoughts around my body and confidence started young and have evolved and changed a lot over the years.

I chat about when I found out I had PCOS, my body changing after kids, and learning how to love myself no matter the size of my jeans.

This is one of my most important episodes so far because I really want you ladies to know you are worth so much more than a number or your body.

Episode 9: Believe in Yourself: Wise Mom Advice from a Single Mom in LA with Ashton Roberts Aug 28, 2019

Show notes

Episode 9: In this episode, I had the pleasure of bringing one of my long time friends from high school on the show. Ashton Roberts is an Office Manager in Los Angeles and also a freelance artist. She has an eight year old son who she says is "just amazing". She loves to keep up with the news and social issues, and enjoy most anything on HBO. She loves good food and cooking, but also down to eat fast food any time. She is also a huge book lover; the first thing you see in her apartment are bookshelves and books piled up all over the place.

Some takeaways from this weeks episode:

Ashton talks about her journey of becoming a single mom, what she's learned and how she co-parents.
She talks a lot about how your actions effect your child. That your child "needs a person, not an expectation"
How a trip to China and shaving her hair was one of the most defining moments in her life as a person and a mom.
How traditional play isn't a thing in a city like LA. You have to schedule time to play and explore in a big city.

Episode 8: Legit Self Care: Taking Care of Yourself is NOT Selfish Aug 21, 2019

Show notes

Self care is a hot topic buzzing around social media and today I wanted to get legit about what that means, especially in terms of being a mom. You are not being selfish if you need to take time for yourself.

Self care can be fun like going out for a girls night or going to get your nails done, but self care is also and most importantly...taking care of your mental and physical health. In order to be the best mom you can be, you have to take care of yourself too. Don't be afraid to make it happen! You will have to prioritize it and make time. But you are important and worth it enough to make it a priority.

I share some of my experiences over the years on how I made self care a priority and also some phases, with little babies and supporting my husband through school, where making time for myself was super hard. But I CHOSE to make it happen because self care is important.

Episode 6: Faith in Your Everyday Mom Life with Maddie Goldie Aug 07, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, my childhood friend, Maddie, shares stories and thoughts on how she has needed faith in her life as a new mom.

Maddie Goldie is Southern-raised and a lover of flowers, ice cream, and sushi. She is married to a half-Scottish Georgia boy, and they have a son and a daughter who are the lights of their lives. Before her life as a stay-at-home mom, she worked in Human Resources, first at a start-up and then for an university IT office. She enjoys music/singing, ultimate frisbee, reading, cooking, and weight lifting. She has moved and traveled often, internationally and domestically, and she has found that the best part of those experiences is that kind people are found anywhere one goes.

Some highlights from Maddie's interview:

Maddie talks a lot about her moves across country and how her and her husband had to have a lot of faith in making these big decisions.
Maddie quotes: "Fair isn't about things being equal, fair is about doing right by those you love"
She also says, "Nurturing my own personal faith helps me realize I am not in complete control of everything."
Her grandma gave her advice to "always have a quiet moment each day"
Faith and fear cannot coexist. Fear will take over your faith. However, faith and struggle can coexist. You can still have faith even when things are hard. Don't give up hope.

Episode 5: A Day in the Life of Mom of 3 with Brittanie Smith Aug 01, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, my good friend Brittanie takes us from breakfast to bedtime with three kids. She truly shows us the day in the life of motherhood.

Brittanie Smith is a stay at home more of three beautiful children. She has an almost 5 year old, an almost 3 year old (both have August birthdays..wish her luck she says!) and a 2 month old. She has a Bachelors Degree from Brigham Young University in Communication Disorders. Before her life as a mom, she worked as the Assistant to the Director of an Autism program which she helped start. She has four years of experience teaching children with Autism and working with their parents. She loves gardening, learning about plants, watching shows (don't we all), and going on dates with her husband. Her favorite thing about being a mom is morning family snuggles and the funny things that kids say.

Some highlights from Brittanie's interview:

In order to feel accomplished everyday, she tries to reach 3 out of 5 things that make her feel successful everyday. She challenges you to think of what your 5 successes may be. (small wins matter as a mom!)
Brittanie says, "It's easy to overlook the wonderful parts of motherhood if we focus on the chaos of the rest of the day"
Another takeaway from the episode was, "You are not alone. Don't compare yourself to previous you, future you or others."

Episode 4: Being More than Mommy is OK with Julie Ciardi Aug 01, 2019

Show notes

In this episode I had the privilege to interview my client and friend, Julie Ciardi. Julie is a life and business coach who helps mamas remember that they are more than a mommy. She left a corporate vice president of marketing job of 16 years leading over 200 people, to start not just 1, but 2 businesses and a network marketing business. She caught the entrepreneurship bug and has never been happier! She is married and the mother to 3 children.

Here are a couple highlights in this interview with Julie:

Julie says, "You can't be there for your kids the way they need you if you don't take care of yourself"
Julie comments that if you are a young mom start making time for yourself now. Make it a habit. Being more than mommy can be an example to your kids.
"You have permission to be more than mommy"
Kids will one day grow up and leave the nest. Be sure to have things outside of being a mom so when they leave you are still YOU.

Show notes

You are listening to part 2 of my intro series to give you a better idea as to who I am and why this podcast is now out in the world!

My name is Haili Murch. I am the mother of 2 kids and this episode is all about my journey of motherhood up to the point where I am today.

I knew I always wanted to be a mom, but once it all started happening, it was much harder than I ever expected. The sleepless nights and post baby hormones. It has not been an easy ride. But I am grateful for even the hard parts of my journey because now I am better of it and I can share my experiences to hopefully help other moms who may be struggling with the same things!
