This mama of four has been through it all… PCOS, VBAC, Hemorrhaging, Miscarriage, Depression, Type 1 Diabetes... and that’s just scratching the surface.
*I advise those listening that this story is challenging and could be triggering for some.
Amy had her first child at just 18 and really struggled after the first pregnancy, feeling like a failure and not having the confidence to speak up about it. As her story continues, the hurdles she overcame grow along with her confidence to speak up. She encourages mamas to educate themselves about their health, pregnancy and beyond to know that you’re not crazy or alone.
This mama’s vulnerability is so real and inspiring. She encourages new mamas to “take the rope.” Accept help when it’s offered. “You don’t need to drown, when there’s so many things working against you.”
I hope you find this mamas as uplifting as I did. Man, she is full of great advise and her story is so memorable!

Mama of two and a pilates instructor for the past 13 years, Nikki Bergen is the creator of The Belle Method and The Bump Method. She discusses the importance of creating a strong pelvic floor and core and becoming empowered in our bodies before we even dive into motherhood. The Bump Method is created specifically for moms and where their/your body is during and after pregnancy. At the same time, she reminds women that it’s never too late to heal yourself.
This mama gave birth on Mother’s Day of this year, in the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic. She shares her two IVF birth stories and her initial challenges with a heart condition called SVT, (supraventricular tachycardia) that she had as a child, but then it got worse during pregnancy. She had to choose between her husband and her doula when her birth unexpectedly took a turn and she ended up having to go to the hospital, when she planned a home birth.
This inspiring mama was such a ray of sunshine to sit down with and chat. Watch the video on YouTube.

Chanel, from Dallas, encourages all mamas to embrace the new normals and to WERK motherhood while still chasing your personal dreams. Life surely looks different when you dive into motherhood, but she is advocating for moms to create a lifestyle that fits for you and your family. Find confidence in the WERK you’re doing as a mama and in the WERK you’re doing as a woman.
After having two very different births, Chanel gives some great tips for focusing on you in the birthing room. Be intentional choosing your healthcare provider, hire a doula, focus on your physical and prepare yourself mentally. It’s all a mindset she encourages. Those are just a few adjustments she made from her first to second pregnancy. Listen to her journey for more advise that she gives to empower mamas everywhere!

Putting goodness out into the world to encourage other people, is the goal of this Olivier Award winner, Laura Michelle Kelly. This elegant mama has graced the stages of the West End in London and Broadway, in addition to countless theaters all over the world. Best known for playing the title role of Mary Poppins, she has played the role of mother several times, but became a mother herself a year ago.
Her son, Raphael, made his appearance early and while that surprised her and she overcame challenges of the NICU, he is a healthy and active boy who is turning one this October! She encourages actors to live life and not wait for certain roles or boxes to check. Her marriage and motherhood came later in life, but she waited for the timing that worked for her. Motherhood has lit her up and also exhausted her, but she wouldn’t change it for the world.
It was such an honor to chat with this mama, a role model of mine and the sweetest soul out there.

There's a face that none can see.

A little less sure,
But a whole lot more like me.”

A conversation with a mama blogger from Miami, Adriana, in my parent’s closet! You never know where 2020 will take you these days and for this interview, I ended up having to record in my parent’s closet! You can watch the episode with video on YouTube and we laughed our way through it.
Adriana is a mama focused only on 4 F’s: Family, Fashion, Fitness and Food. She takes us through her beautiful journey into motherhood and how she is sharing that journey with her community through her blog. Her stories are relevant and real to all mamas out there, no matter what your situation. They are also short and sweet posts that are easily digestible.
Her bright Miami essence permeated through the screen and it was such a joy to connect with her...

Renee Davis, mama of 4 (3 biological and one adopted) and a lactation consultant, is here to share her challenging journey into motherhood along with her passion for helping breastfeeding and pumping mamas. After wishing she had more support when beginning her lactation journey, she realized that she could do so much better! She is so warm and loving and it was a dream to chat with her.
The only support she had had during that time was her mom and she revels in the accessibility that is available to mamas now. Aware that sometimes moms aren’t heard and aren’t supported enough from the moment that little baby gets placed into your arms, Renee is on a path to change that. She gives advice to new moms for important steps to take that will help keep your lactation journey as smooth as possible including having alone time after your child is born, protecting your milk supply and more.
If you are looking for support and the basic help during the start of your motherhood and breastfeeding journey, Renee is here to help you. She does online consultations and provides support one on one for mamas.

Check out the Etsy link for handmade vegan room sprays, candles, chemical free cleaners and more!

Follow her on Instagram: @EmmysApothecary
Emily’s mantra is: Manifest Your Own Transformation and that is something that she has embodied fully since I’ve known her and especially since the birth of her daughter. Emily’s birth was challenging because she didn’t feel ready and the same came with the start of her breastfeeding journey. She discusses how she didn’t know what to do, how to manage and she felt she really needed a lactation consultant for comfort and guidance.
She also encourages mamas to remember that breastfeeding is between you and your baby. Do what you need, when you need and don’t worry about what others think. Emily is still breastfeeding her, now toddler and encourages you to do motherhood in whatever way is best for you.
