Life sometimes comes with significant challenges that you never saw coming. I’m joined by Teresa Forehand, PA-C as she shares her personal experiences of transition and change over the past couple of years. Teresa is a mom to three littles and has been married for 8 years.

Teresa loves cooking, and curating recipes that are healthy and delicious for the entire family. In her “free time” she enjoys working in her yard, decorating her house for the holidays, and making people laugh!

In this episode, Teresa shares a very vulnerable and personal story of a life-changing event that has changed her journey in motherhood and her family. Through this deeply impactful story, Teresa and I discuss how perspective of your situation truly can reshape any situation that life throws your way.

Are you the “default parent”? Do you find you feel guilty for taking time for yourself away from the kids? Are you struggling with the invisible load in motherhood? My guest, Amy Kiefer, joins me in this week’s episode as we discuss the emotional, mental and physical labor it takes to keep a family and household.
Amy Kiefer's purpose in life is simple yet transformative — to help and empower others. A multi-passionate entrepreneur, small business owner, and mom of three, she got her start by launching a blog and later developing the pregnancy and postpartum workout app, Expecting and Empowered. In her mission to give women the confidence and care they deserve, Amy has since gone on to create numerous outlets for her purpose-driven mindset. Drawing from her exercise science education, a nursing career in oncology, and her daily challenges as a mom, her endeavors have grown into a vibrant and supportive community – prompting the collaborative development of Amy’s two other online businesses: Pursuing Her Purpose and the top-rated HERself Podcast, with over 2.5 million downloads. Acclaimed for empowering women through some of their most difficult seasons, Amy is proud to help her community move past stress, guilt, and common obstacles to lead happier, healthier lives that are more aligned with their dreams.

Amy provides resources as well as practical tips that will challenge and encourage you to ask yourself how you can make visible some of your load. Both Amy and myself share personal stories of how the invisible load in motherhood has affected our own motherhood stories.

In this week's episode, we explore the multifaceted journey of feeding babies with pediatric nurse practitioner and certified lactation counselor, Erin Moore. Erin shares her personal experiences overcoming breastfeeding challenges, even as a pediatric professional, offering valuable insights for parents navigating early parenthood, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. We discuss the emotional pressures of feeding choices, from baby-led weaning to formula, and how the pandemic has exacerbated feelings of isolation and inadequacy among new mothers.
The conversation highlights the importance of mental health, addressing the need for therapy, strategies for managing stress, and the impact of societal expectations on new parents. Erin also provides practical advice on balancing work, parenting, and navigating the overwhelming world of baby products, emphasizing the importance of making choices aligned with personal values and budget. Throughout, the discussion is a reminder of the importance of community and shared experiences in overcoming the challenges of early parenthood.

Key Takeaways:

1. Feeding choices are deeply personal, and parents should feel empowered to choose the path that works best for them, whether it’s breastfeeding, formula, or baby-led weaning.
2. The pandemic has intensified feelings of isolation among new parents, making mental health and community support more crucial than ever.
