Sexual abuse and why feeling safe, seen, heard and understood is paramount for our children's future, with Jenn Maroney. Episode 22
09/05/22 • 29 min
My guest today is Jennifer Maroney. Jennifer has an incredible story of resiliency that began as a young child, witnessing family violence and being a survivor of sexual assault.
At such a young age, with minimal coping strategies, she began to create a “secret life” which only led to poor boundaries, low self-worth and confidence, and disordered eating patterns. She began at an early age putting on various masks to try and hide from the pain of her life. A public success but a failure in private, her poor choices ultimately caught up to her and she came to a crossroad.
As a mom myself, the thought of my children being sexually assaulted turns my stomach. While I know I cannot protect them from everything in the big wide world out there, I can make sure to create a safe home for them where they feel seen, heard & understood. Where they can trust me with whatever happens to them outside of this loving home.
Jennifer talks to us about the impact this lack of safety in her home had on her future decisions.

Mental health tips for new moms with Emeka Obidi. Episode 21
In today’s episode, I talk to Emeka Obidi about the importance of supporting the mom of a newborn baby. There is a strong focus on the baby after birth, which is understandable and totally necessary right? I mean, we need to be sure the baby is healthy, growing well, breastfeeding, or bottle feeding well so they can thrive.
For a baby to thrive, it is also of utmost importance that the mom is well. If the mom of a newborn lacks support and guidance, this will have an impact on the baby.
Dr. Obidi is a board-certified pediatrician practicing in Maryland where he owns a multi-provider family practice. He is also CEO of Newborn Prep Academy where he runs an online newborn preparation course that helps new expectant and recently delivered moms understand how to care for their newborn baby and what to expect so they can feel confident, empowered, and ultimately enjoy their babies.

Empower yourself along your fertility journey with Monica Cox. Episode 23.
In this today’s episode, I talk to Monica Cox about unexplained infertility. So many women are experiencing delays in conceiving, a journey paved with emotional distress, guilt, sadness, and shattered hope time and again.
Monica dealt with years of unexplained infertility, failed IVF & survived several miscarriages before becoming an IVF mom & getting pregnant naturally even though the doctors said there was nothing she could do to improve her situation.
We talk about what consciousness means when becoming a mother, and how to trust your intuition and gut feeling when it comes to medical treatment. We also talk about sexual education and what TikTok has to do with it all.
This episode is full of valuable information about unexplained infertility and a conscious start to motherhood. I hope you benefit from our conversation.
