In this episode, I am chatting with Meredith Ethington (@perfectpending), an award-winning writer and author of the book Mom Life and her most recent book, The Mother Load. Meredith helps to normalize how hard parenting can be whether you are in your newborn days or dealing with toddler tantrums or feisty teens. Often moms don’t feel safe to talk about their struggles, and Meredith helps shed light on what is not talked about enough.
We dive deep into the transition of becoming a parent overnight (without a manual), balancing the impact social media can pose on the reality of motherhood, how to find ways to regulate ourselves and our children, and how "mom brain” is a real thing! If you are ready to take the pressure off, feel heard, and relate to other moms then you don’t want to miss this empowering conversation.
Highlights from this episode:
The truth about motherhood It’s ok to have different parenting styles How Meredith embraced imperfection Letting go of unrealistic mom expectations A child’s personality can clash with yours The “good enough mother” theory What postpartum anxiety & depression looks like Talk to your kids about mental health Toxic positivity and social media Mom brain is real The importance of self-careShow sponsors:

We are now on the other side of this exciting milestone, as our 3-year-old daughter is now potty trained. It wasn’t and (still) isn’t a linear process. We did so many things to encourage her to use the potty and so many things we didn’t do that are "typically" recommended. We ultimately followed her lead and our gut instincts and have no regrets about our approach.
I am excited to share what this looked like for us and provide helpful tips and insights to guide you on your potty training journey.
Highlights from this episode:
Our decision to postpone daycare for Hayden How we approached potty training Sarelle’s introduction to potty training at daycare Pay attention to your child’s potty cues Explore your potty training options Sarelle’s decision to pee in the potty Why toddlers don’t want to poop in the potty Potty accidents are inevitable Talk to your child about going poop Tips to get started potty training Navigating public washrooms Hayden’s early exposure to potty training What is elimination communication?Show sponsor:

In this episode, I am chatting with Simone Davies, author of “The Montessori Toddler” and co-author of “The Montessori Baby” which are comprehensive guides to raising toddlers and infants in a Montessori way.
I loved having these books on my nightstand over the last few years they have been excellent resources for our family. In today's conversation, we share the most amazing concepts with you on how to implement Montessori methods at home. We get into everything from how to set up your home before the baby arrives, the benefits of going slow and having less stuff, setting limits for your toddler, and using praise in a healthy way. You will learn so many simple and practical ways to start using Montessori principles with your family today.
