In this episode, I am fired up! Here's what I'm sounding off on in this episode:

• Being a "pro-screen time, anti-tablet" parent
• Being a millennial and growing up in AOL chatrooms
• "Raw-dogging" summer break
• Questioning whether to go to kindergarten or skipping straight to 1st grade 
• Homeschool vs public school, hot take home school kids have a lot of opportunities for socialization
• Celebrating my son's 5th birthday! 
• Struggling having a small house with no storage 
• Sounding off on "therapy speak" 
• Sounding off on the whole "not telling our kids we're proud of them" 
• Fostering a summer of independence for my 5-year-old

What do you think? Leave me a comment or send me a DM on my Instagram if you have any strong feelings about my hot takes.

In this grab bag episode of topics, I'm taking you on a rollercoaster ride of all my inner thoughts: 

• Boundaries with in-laws (I have some hot takes that might piss you off)
• In the body positive movement, no one should shame you for wanting to lose weight
• Saying no to business travel at the moment
• How disappointing people sucks but you have to do it sometimes
• Spicy thoughts around The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives (we all need a little pop culture therapy, okay?) 
• ...and other things!

If you're a new mom, toddler mom, or just a woman figuring out how to juggle it all, this episode is your reminder that you’re not alone.

PS. Check out my episode on my other podcast, Can I Be Honest, all about marriage and relationships!

Massachusetts mom Christie and her husband tried for a year and a half before they finally conceived. At her 20-week anatomy scan, she was diagnosed with VCI and got growth scans the rest of her pregnancy. At her 32 week growth scan, they discovered she had severe preeclampsia and transferred her to another hospital about an hour away because her local hospital didn't have a NICU. She had my daughter almost exactly 29 hours later via an emergency c-section.

Christie shares her birth story and what her experience was like each step of the way. She shares what was challenging and most importantly, what she is grateful for.

In this episode, Lina is going to be talking about her eating disorder journey and how it’s affected motherhood and shown up in my motherhood journey.  This episode may be triggering to those who have a history of eating disorders or who currently have an eating disorder. She references anorexia, body dysmorphia, and disordered eating. If you’re not ready to hear this story, bookmark it for a later date when you’re ready. 

Lina is 33 years old and the mom of a 2 year old. Her eating disorder started at 13 years old. She struggled with anorexia throughout high school and then adopted disordered eating habits throughout college. She binge ate and then became orthorexic in her 20s. 

Lina shares that she's not sure that someone ever truly recovers from an eating disorder. She shares that while throughout pregnancy and postpartum she was okay with her body changing, most recently she's dipped into old eating disorder habits. 

Mentioned in this Episode:

• Huberman Lab: HEALTHY EATING & EATING DISORDERS – ANOREXIA, BULIMIA, BINGING 

In this episode, Lina mentions the diet culture of the 2000s. Gal Pals podcast does a great episode diving into the diet culture of the 2000s. Listen to their episode, "Trash Diet Culture of the Early 2000's"
