• 159. Embracing Non-Outcome-Based Childbirth Preparation With Amanda Gorman
    Jun 8 2023

    Welcome back to the New Mom Boss Podcast! In this episode, we are learning all about non-outcome-based childbirth preparation with my special guest, Amanda Gorman. As a childbirth educator and postpartum support advocate, Amanda brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table.


    She shares some incredible insights into what it means to approach childbirth without being tied to a specific outcome, discusses three different types of knowing that can aid women in their birth preparation, and even gives us her top three things she wishes she’d known when giving birth the first time.



     Some big takeaways are:

    1. It takes a lot of openness to not tie yourself to a certain birth outcome.
    2. Sometimes the real treasure is looking back to your ancestral roots. 
    3. Don’t judge yourself too harshly - practice self-compassion.


    Amanda also spends time covering a variety of birthing classes that women should look into for childbirth education. They are listed in the show notes, so head there to learn more! www.newmomboss.com/blog/159

    May 18 2023

    Welcome back to the New Mom Boss Podcast! Join me for an eye-opening episode as I chat with the amazing Dr. Carrie Pagliano about pelvic floor health. Dr. Pagliano is a true pioneer in this industry, and she's here to share her wisdom on how pregnant and postpartum moms can not only plan for their activity but also prepare for their delivery from a pelvic floor perspective. 


    In our conversation, we discuss the importance of pelvic floor health for all individuals, but especially pregnant and postpartum mamas. Dr. Carrie explains more about the role of the pelvic floor during labor, the many ways our habits can affect it throughout our lives, and what women can do today to begin strengthening this vital area of their bodies.

  • 154. Alternative Family Structures and the Family Positivity Movement with Julia Karol
    May 4 2023

    Welcome back to the New Mom Boss Podcast! I’m excited to introduce Julia Karol, my special guest who is leading the way for alternative family structures. Julia hosts a podcast called Stork’d, where she invites everyday friends, family, neighbors, and experts to share their journey of what it means to create and define a family. 


    In this episode, we dive into some really important topics, including why alternative structures need support, single parenting, and the family positivity movement that Julia is starting. She shares incredible insights that she’s discovered in motherhood and also shares her heart for all types of families, even if they don’t fit the “traditional” mold.

     Some big takeaways are:

    1. We should celebrate and tell the stories of families that look different from ours. 
    2. Our families are intimately connected with our values system.
    3. It takes a village to raise a child, but to also transition a woman into postpartum.
