Welcome back to a new Mindful Monday series on Mommy's on a Call. It's been a couple months off from podcasting due to an unexpected surgery, illnesses and well, life. I'll go into my health and surgery later on the podcast, but for now, bringing back an episode from Oct 2020 that I thought is so helpful as we move forward to summer and the rest of the year.

It's time to revaluate and eliminate those things wasting our time, draining our energy and bringing us down. In order to make space to grow, expand, build and improve, we need to eliminate those energy drains (aka energy vampires) and in this episode, I go through exactly how to do that. Before we can add, we need to subtract and reevaluate.

Everyone has trauma and toxic stress. You don't need to have gone through some major life altering event to have unresolved trauma (I mean the last 3 years were traumatic enough for most parents!).

In this episode, I dive deep with Dr. Amy Hoyt on different types of trauma response and toxic stress, common symptoms of unresolved trauma in high-achieving women, and ways we can tune into our bodies to heal from trauma and stop generational trauma so we can optimize our health and happiness.

Dr. Amy Hoyt is the founder of Mending Trauma, a digital mental health company that specializes in trauma recovery, and the co-host of the Universe is Your Therapist podcast with her sister, Leina Hoyt.

Dr. Hoyt is certified in trauma and traumatic stress studies and what I love the most about her work is that she does it from a whole health and holistic psychology perspective. She is passionate about teaching others to reprogram their brains and heal their nervous systems so they can overcome thoughts, triggers and behaviors stemming from past trauma.

On top of it all, Amy is a mom of 5 children, 3 of whom have special needs.

On today's episode, I'm bringing back an interview with Ara Katz, the founder of Seed. I loved this episode because she speaks to the importance of the microbiome, why we need to take probiotics (and prebiotics) as kids and adults, and how gut health is central to our immune system and health.

Ara Katz is a mother, entrepreneur, author and wellness expert. She is the co-founder of microbial sciences company Seed Health and consumer innovations brand, Seed.

Ara's first pregnancy and breastfeeding experience led her to the microbiome and inspired her personal mission to explore the importance and impact of microbes.

At Seed Health, she leads fundraising, design thinking, brand, insights, commercialization, and the company’s translational work in science communication and storytelling.

Ara lives in Venice, California with her husband and 2 young kids.
