Marriage After Baby: I'm A Mom, But I'm Not YOUR Mom
Myth of Motherhood
02/28/22 • 15 min
There’s this assumption that after we give birth, we spontaneously download a complete, updated guide on everything motherhood/parenting/baby. Suddenly everyone asks us to feel our foreheads, what type of jacket we need, and what’s for dinner. I don't know about you, but this made me furious. The automatic status of lead or default parent. Like I suddenly knew everything even though we were both new parents. This episode is based on my interpretation of these events. My experiences as a new, hormonal mom. Objectively speaking, my husband was incredible. That doesn’t change the societal pressure, standards, or expectations put on women when they give birth.

43: We're All Going To F*ck Up Our Kids with Susanna Merrick
Myth of Motherhood
01/24/22 • 37 min
As much as we will try to be the generation that does it perfectly, we are all going to f*ck up our kids somehow. I know I’m dedicated to doing it differently than my parents did, but I’m not denying it will happen.
And today’s podcast guest Susanna Merrick, founder of Aura Wear, agrees. In this episode she shares about her upbringing as the only girl of six children raised in a culty household with a mother who ruled with an iron fist. And now as Susanna approaches motherhood herself, she’s bringing herself and her inner child a ton of compassion and healing with color. We all have a mother wound and as mothers we are going to wound others.
Susanna is a highly sought after Intuitive Energy Reader, Stylist and Spiritual Coach. Aura Wear is a method and brand that focuses on self-expression through color, fashion, and wellness. Her work has been featured in Goop, Elle Magazine, Well and Good, and Vanity Fair. Susanna’s mission is to empower those to take the reigns of their self-expression through their personal style and spiritual practices.

Finding Alignment
Myth of Motherhood
05/16/22 • 29 min
Today’s episode is about alignment. Alignment inside our bodies, but also alignment in terms of what’s happening outside our bodies. In the world. This is also a big episode because I have some news that I share at the end of the episode. In my 35+ years of dance, yoga, Pilates training and 20+ years of teaching in the world’s most elite gyms and boutique studios. Working with thousands of other smart, motivated, disciplined women like yourself, hearing your feedback and feeling my own shifts as I practice what I preach, I’ve developed a method that shows you how to move forward one step at a time. We KNOW that the answer is not in a restrictive diet, a punishing workout schedule, or endless meditation. We’ve tried them all and these dramatic upheavals aren’t sustainable.It’s time to stop looking outside for some one size fits all answer, because it will never be the right fit for you. I believe that if we put as much time, energy, and discipline into our insides as we do our outsides, if we connect our physical and emotional bodies, we are all unstoppable.

Identifying Your Blind Spots with Jenny Jackson
Myth of Motherhood
03/07/22 • 34 min
This week we are talking about identifying our blind spots in life, business, and parenting, how having adult tantrums is just like our kids’ tantrums, and how modeling a life of integrity and sustainability doesn’t have to be all or nothing. I met today’s guest Jenny Jackson who is the founder of Ave-Lumi and a mama on a mission to improve the sustainability of the fashion industry at a launch event in 2021. It was my first event of that kind and I knew nobody. If this had been a sorority party, Jenny quickly became my Big Sib. She took me under her wing, introduced me to people, and laughed at all of my jokes. As we spoke I was really inspired by Jenny’s passion for sustainability and the deep integrity she brings to her work and her life. You can feel this grounded authenticity radiating from her infectious smile. Ave Lumi is a destination for modern families to shop sustainably and live joyfully and I HIGHLY encourage you to check her out on instagram @ave_lumi and online www.ave-lumi.com You’ll notice we start this episode in a fit of laughter as I mention how I’d love a tech team. What we thought were technical issues on Jenny’s end, turned out to be my headphones not plugged in all the way. Which hey! We all have blind spots, right?
