This week, I have a very candid chat with actress and mama, Laura Gilreath, who is the mama that was featured in the recent Frida Mom commercial that went viral because it was banned from being aired during the Oscars! While she recorded the commercial during pregnancy, she had quite the challenging postpartum journey ahead of her.
She talks about how when you bring home a baby, you also bring home a mom. A statement that Frida Mom stands by. She brings us through a challenging pregnancy and birth that she experienced. Now being 3 months postpartum, she explains her experience compared to her portrayal in the commercial.

This week, I worked on something a little different…
In this episode, you’ll hear a joint episode with me and another podcast host, Adam Busuttil from The Dad Experience Podcast! We sit down and chat about the challenging times of COVID-19, what goes through the minds of dads and how we can all work together to slow down and be grateful for the present.
Adam is a father of 2 girls from Michigan. He started his podcast, after being confined to his home for a year with the birth of his first daughter, because she had a congenital heart defect. He has created a place where dads could go to find meaningful parenting information and stories. Since our podcasts are similar in the ways of sharing the journey into parenthood, we decided to do a mashup and we hope you enjoy it!

For the fourth episode in my Mini Meditation and Wellness Series, I am bringing you another meditation from a mama that I promise will bring you some strength, help you hear your heart and connect you to your own groundedness. Remember during this time to S.T.O.P (Stop, Take a break, Observe your surroundings, and then Proceed)!
I know all of you mamas may be feeling anxiety and overwhelm during this time. Kristen is here to remind you to ground yourself for your kids. If we are running around frantic, they learn to be frantic and to fear. Remember: “Parenting isn’t about being perfect, it’s about being honest. Honor where you are. You might feel fear, but don’t live in your fear.”
Meditation at minute: 29:00.

For the third episode in my Mini Meditation and Wellness Series, I chatted with one of my best mama friends, Erin Adams, for a conversation around faith and spirituality. No matter what your beliefs, we wanted to spread the word that whatever energy it is that makes the world go round, it is that energy of love and positivity that we need to share today.
Whether faith is something you lean on daily or it’s something you shy away from, there can be some comfort found in a quiet prayer or meditation, especially during times of struggle and uncertainty. There is hope and we will heal from this over time. Love thy neighbor and share love and light with the neighbors around you.

For the second episode in my Mini Meditation and Wellness Series, I wanted to bring you a conversation with a mama who is “mostly under control.” Melanie O'Reilly-Rogers is a twin mom of 4 kids, with a background in early childhood development, who is no stranger to chaos. She writes a blog where she talks about keeping parenting and life mostly under control.
We chat about what she and all of you mamas must be going through during this pandemic. We acknowledge that there is a lot of information out there for what you can and should be doing, but we talk about how you are doing enough. It can all be overwhelming and she is here to encourage you to keep doing you, whatever that looks like. No shame here!

Mamas, I have decided to start a Mini Meditation and Wellness Series for you during this time of uncertainty. For the next few weeks, you will be able to tune in for meditations, spirituality and health conversations that you can listen to and revisit daily or anytime you need.
I encourage you to use these as you desire and pass along to other mamas who may need a few moments of stillness.
This first episode is with mama, Jen Prokhorov. She is a mama of four and has developed a meditation app just for mothers, called StillPoint. We discuss how she and her family are coping at this time and then she brings us into a meditation at minute: 23:45.
Follow her and StillPoint on Instagram @StillPointApp

Dan and Kay Ockey entered marriage with $20,000 in debt and managed to pull themselves out along with adding to their ROTH, a down payment, health savings and more in just a year and a half before their daughter Lucy was born!
In this episode, I sit down with both of them to hear their story and what tools helped them get out of what seemed to be a sinking ship. During uncertain times, like those we are living in now, these key conversations around values and intentions are key to a happy family life.
Listen to their advice and learn from their mistakes. To find out more about them, their online course and how they can start guiding you through financial freedom, check them out here:

After performing as a Patriots cheerleader and then starting her own fitness studio, this mama Angela (Ando) Hawthorne decided to start a family. While she had thought of motherhood as somewhat of a fairytale experience, she quickly learned that it was far from it and she had quite a rollercoaster... Navigating a premature birth with her first child at 29 weeks and having to exclusively pump. Then with her second child, experiencing a shortened cervix and then finally a prolapse to top it all off. This mama has been put through the test of motherhood.
Angela is here to bring attention to issues and challenges in motherhood that aren’t discussed to help women prepare and be more aware.

This episode, I sit down with 2 Mamas- Katie and Christina Bailey. They take us through their challenging journey of Reciprocal IVF, with both of their daughters, Kennedy and Charlotte. These travel loving mamas share their story as a lesbian couple to help inspire, support and encourage non-traditional couples all over, to keep their dream alive of having a family.
These ladies are so strong and persistent and their passion for sharing is so inspiring. They are prepared for any challenge, as they have been through every emotion possible already! Family is the most important to them, no matter what that looks like.

How do you leave a career that was everything to you? Dance- it was the love of your life and it was taken away. Listen to how my guest this week, Nova found a new purpose in being a mama, after what she thought was her only purpose was taken away from her.
Her journey has been unconventional to this current western medicine culture, but it was hers to choose. Everyone has their own way of handling motherhood. This ferocious mama, explains how she has decided to take on this journey of motherhood in a liberating, primal and instinctual way. At the end of the day, she speaks to the thought that informed is best and then ultimately YOU know what’s best for you and your baby.
