| 251. Mom Guilt, Where We Are Today | 16 Sep 2024 | 00:35:40 | |
Mom guilt can feel SO heavy in one season of life, and lighter in others. If you’ve yet to feel one of the lighter seasons, today’s episode is for you. We are here to tell you that we see you and we hope that today’s episode helps to open up the conversation about mom guilt. In today’s episode we both share how our mom guilt has changed over the years from when our children were infants to their ages now. For Abby, mom guilt currently shows up with her children’s involvement in sports and being able to spend time at practice and games with all the other life things going on creating schedule conflicts. Amy shares that having one child who is a deep feeler and big reactor requires a lot of hands-on parenting and how that has affected her other children and the guilt that comes along with making each of her three children feel special. Something both of us can relate to is the guilt that comes along with being a working mother. Amy finds encouragement thinking about the other working moms in her life that are both amazing career women AND amazing mothers! Seeing the proof you can be both at the same time and reminding yourself that your work is important for your family makes the guilt a little less heavy. Whether you are a stay at home mom or a working mom, working to release the mom guilt will lead to a happier life!

| 250. Kate Anthony on Marriage: Should You Stay or Should You Go? | 09 Sep 2024 | 00:48:13 | |
Divorce is a heavy topic, but it happens and that’s why we thought it was important to bring you this episode. We are so lucky to have Kate Anthony as our guest for today. Kate is a divorce coach who helps women decide if they should stay or leave their marriages and is a wealth of knowledge of the divorce process. Whether today’s episode applies to you personally or not, it could be helpful for your sister, friend, or other family member. We hope you take what you need from today’s interview with Kate and pass this episode along to someone you know who may need the information too. There are two big common misconceptions about divorce that Kate breaks down for us. Lots of people think that couple’s therapy may be the first step towards reconciliation. However, it is not always the answer and Kate tells us which marriage scenarios should actually avoid it. If divorce is the route you choose, Kate shares with us how she thinks you should go about the first steps of the process as well as some important “do’s and don’ts” of divorce. If you, our listener, is living in an unhealthy marriage, we want you to know that you deserve to be happy. Reach out to a marriage coach, someone like Kate, who can help you discern what your next steps should be and utilize their resources. You deserve happiness and we support you!

| 241. Understanding Our Emotions Around Money with Financial Therapist Lindsay Bryan Podvin | 08 Jul 2024 | 00:45:13 | |
After seeing some of Lindsay’s work through a friend, we knew we needed to have her on our podcast. Lindsay Bryan Podvin is a licensed social worker turned financial therapist, and the first of her kind in Michigan! As a financial therapist, Lindsay’s job is to look at the emotional side of money and help others with their mind/money connection. Money is a hot topic whether you’re single, partnered, or married. Sometimes we think we are doing worse financially than we really are. Lindsay’s work with individuals and with community groups has shown that you may not be as bad off as you think! It’s important that we understand our emotions behind money and understand things like why it may be hard to stick to a budget and why we feel the way we do about money. And it’s people like Lindsay that can help you figure that out! If you have a partner, discuss and get clear on what your financial goals are as a couple. And if one partner makes more than the other, it’s important to have a game plan on how your finances will be shared. Making sure that you are being transparent about your debts, salary, and spending habits is part of financial fidelity. Lindsay touches on other trending topics like “loud budgeting”, 9 financial goals for couples in their 30s and 40s, her financial type quiz and book titled “The Financial Anxiety Solution”, and even gives us a mini therapy session! You won’t want to miss today’s episode, and you’ll probably want to pass this along to your partner too!

| 151. Wills, Trusts, and Everything You Need to Know about Future Planning | 17 Oct 2022 | 01:13:42 | |
Before we jump into this episode, we wanted to let you know that it is longer than our usual episodes, and we talk about some heavy stuff in this one. In fact, this might be the type of episode where you take a couple of breaks while listening, and one that you send to your partner to check out. Today, we’ll be talking about what would happen if we should die, which is a topic that could take a while for you to process, because as you’ll hear, there is a lot to consider here. Our expert guest today is attorney Eric Christoffersen, who has been with the law firm Grams & Christoffersen for 13 years and counting. He started as a law student, clerking for Founder, David F. Grams who established the firm nearly 30 years ago. After graduating law school, cum laude from the University of Wisconsin Law School, he became an associate attorney and then later a shareholder. Now with 11+ years of practice experience he is the Managing Shareholder of Grams & Christoffersen, S.C., leading a great team to serve their clients into the future. We think this episode with Eric is a really important one, and we discuss something that a lot of people will go through in their lifetimes. We feel that thinking about the future is worth having an entire episode on, and we hope you get a lot from this interview with Eric, who was in charge of helping Amy plan for her future. If you found this episode informative and helpful, we would love it if you shared it with your friends and loved ones, and let us know your biggest takeaway by tagging @gcestatelaw and @herselfpodcast on Instagram!

Amelia is an author, speaker and conductor who holds a Doctorate in Music from The University of Connecticut. She wrote the New York Times bestseller, Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle, with her identical twin sister, Emily.

This conversation with Amelia is a reminder to take yourself seriously and to start listening to that voice inside of you. You won’t be able to show up fully in this world until you begin taking this thing called burnout seriously, and by figuring out what your needs truly are!

| 147. Real Life Parenting - How We Implemented Dr. Becky Kennedy's Teachings | 21 Sep 2022 | 00:37:42 | |
Welcome to this bonus episode of HERself! It is our dream to someday bring you two episodes each week, so today is the test for that. What you might not see behind the scenes is that our amazing sponsors want a certain amount of downloads, so we have an ask of you. If we do go to two episodes a week, it’s important that you keep listening and sharing these episodes to help us accomplish this dream! With that being said, we’re excited to continue providing you with the best resource that we can to support you along your journey. Today we want to reflect on Episode 146 with Dr. Becky, because Dr. Becky is someone who meets people where they are, and she’s not the type of expert who will shame you by pretending there is a “perfect” way to parent. Rather, she is trying to come alongside you and to help wherever you are. Implementing some of the things that we talk about in this episode can make such a difference in helping you and your kids to get through the tougher times, by you providing support but not solving every problem for them. It might not show up at that very moment, but little by little you’ll start to see that all these hard conversations will lead to some really amazing transformations! Again, we would be so grateful if you could text, email, and share this episode so that we can bring you even more content weekly. As always, we want to hear your biggest takeaways and how this has helped you, so please tag us at @herselfpodcast! Feeling burnt out? Longing for more time and energy for yourself?

| 146. HERself Expert: Clinical Psychologist Dr. Becky Kennedy on How You and Your Child can Feel Good Inside | 19 Sep 2022 | 01:00:19 | |
You are in for a treat today! We are so excited to be bringing you our conversation with Dr. Becky Kennedy, who is a clinical psychologist, mom of three, and founder of Good Inside, the expert-guided, community-powered platform equipping parents with a new way of seeing and solving challenges at home. Dr. Becky meets parents where they are at, and it’s so refreshing to get her insight on parenting, because a lot of these conversations are often happening behind closed doors. Today’s episode is a reminder that wherever we are in motherhood, we can start over right now by re-evaluating and changing our behaviors. By doing so we’ll not only help our kids, but we’ll start to help ourselves in the process. We encourage you to visit Dr. Becky’s website at https://www.goodinside.com/ and check out all the amazing resources that she has available for moms, and if you enjoy this episode, we’d be so honored if you shared it on Instagram, tagging @drbeckyatgoodinside and @herselfpodcast.

One subject that comes up over and over again with our community is friendship, so we’re excited to bring Dr. Marisa Franco, a psychologist and friendship expert, back on the podcast today! Some of the things we cover in this episode include keeping friendships healthy when we’re in a busy season of life, tools for navigating conflict in friendship (and why conflict isn’t necessarily a bad thing), and ways to approach ending a friendship if the time comes for this to happen. Dr. Marisa also shares her best tips for making new friends, what to say when first engaging with new people, how strong friendships benefit our overall well-being, and so much more. We really want to make friendship uncomplicated for you and meet you where you are, because it’s normal to feel nervous about these topics. If friendships are something that you’re working on, like we are, we are proud of you because we recognize that this can be hard! If you enjoy what Dr. Marisa shares today, you’ll want to get a copy of her brand new book, Platonic: How the Science of Attachment Can Help You Make--and Keep--Friends, which is available now!

In the United States this week we are celebrating Labor Day, and we know that many of you may be with friends and family and won’t have as much time for your normal Monday morning podcast listen. For this reason, today we are bringing you a Greatest Hits episode, and one that will be especially important if you are with your in-laws this week! Dr. Tracy Dalgleish joins the HERself Podcast to talk about in-law dynamics as it relates to children. Yes, this is your time to be a parent and your children are so important to you, but also this is the time where your in-laws can shine as grandparents. There will be a learning curve and some challenges involved, but getting through it together in a way where everyone can be happy is what Tracy D focuses on in this episode. If you like what she shares, you’ll want to tune in Episode 94, which is the second part in this two-part series. In it, we go into in-law dynamics as it relates to the adults in the relationship, because we want you to make sure that you can keep the peace while maintaining your boundaries!

| 143. Dietitian Sammie Gollup on Navigating Weight Changes and Respecting Your Body | 29 Aug 2022 | 00:52:17 | |
Hi, it’s Amy here, and today is one episode that I’ve been wanting to do for a long time now! In this episode, you’ll hear me share about my own health journey that I’ve been on for the past year and a half, and I reveal what has happened during this time, where I am today, and more. Joining me is Sammie Gollup, who is an incredible dietician, to make sure that we have a safe and scientific conversation. With that being said, if hearing about weight gain or weight loss is triggering for you, please sit this episode out and take care of yourself first. In this conversation, we try to be very conscious of the way that we present these topics, but I want you to be aware of your own boundaries and needs, as always. Today, we want to have a really honest talk about weight gain and how it can impact a person mentally, and then give you the tools that can help you work through this. This episode is meant to be educational through storytelling. In it, I tell my story and Sammie gives some of the science behind it and background from her experience working with many patients. It’s going to be really interesting and informative, and we hope you get lots from it! We would love it if you shared this episode to get these important messages heard by more women and mothers.

She also talks about her powerful “sugar jar” concept, (which we love!) and how it will allow you to start checking in with yourself.

| 240. Greatest Hits: Real Parenting: What to Do When the Script Doesn't Work with Claire Lerner | 01 Jul 2024 | 00:55:42 | |
We both have experience raising children who seem to not respond to gentle parenting and the other well known techniques. It has been frustrating for the both of us at times because it makes us feel isolated and exhausted. We are so excited to revisit episode 157 with Claire Lerner as our “Greatest Hits” episode over this 4th of July week. Claire shares her expertise with us and we feel it is just as helpful now as when this episode first aired. Claire shares what to do if your child is wired differently during moments of aggression towards others. She explains that our children are not trying to be manipulative in any way, just that they need boundaries to help themselves regulate. Have you ever wondered if timeouts are truly a thing of the past? Claire explains her concept of a safe space break and how this alone time can help kids get back to a place of calm. With it being the summer season with lots of gatherings with family and friends, we know these gatherings can be major triggers for our kiddos who tend to be big reactors. Claire helps us navigate the conversations we can have with our friends and family.

| 141. Prioritizing Partnership and Friendships in Parenthood | 15 Aug 2022 | 00:31:46 | |
Today’s episode is all about relationships, and specifically the power of those in-person friendships that mean so much. We’ll be sharing some of the things that we’ve been going through ourselves lately, but one thing we strongly believe in at HERself is that you need to have good friends in your life that you can absolutely count on. Real relationships take time to nurture and the process can’t be rushed, but we want you to be open to the idea of making new friends. During this season of life, there are times that you will need those people close to that you can lean on! We’ve been thinking about how we can help our listeners grow their roots, and that’s why we want to invite you to join the HERself Podcast Patreon Community, where we take these conversations deeper in our private Facebook Group. Recently, we talked about mom guilt and where it shows up, and in this community we talk about the shame and secrecy that comes with mom guilt, as well as the wins that we don’t normally celebrate with each other. You can join at one of three different tiers to support us as creators, and be part of an exclusive community of over 100 women who are also navigating this crazy thing we call life, at https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcast. 15% off at GOODR with code ‘herself15’: https://goodr.com 20% off at VUORI: https://vuori.com/herself 140.

| 140. The Mom Guilt Episode | 08 Aug 2022 | 00:38:08 | |
Today we are tackling the topic of mom guilt, which is something we talked about way back on Episode 12 of the podcast. This is important to mention, because what we say today is coming from a place of it being two years later. Back then, mom guilt was something that we were struggling more with, which led to both of us doing a lot of work in this area, and we want to share our insights and what we’ve learned with you today. Motherhood is a journey, and we realize that mom guilt shows up differently in all of us. We think that a lot of people just accept their mom guilt in a way that really holds them back, and we feel that your goal shouldn’t be focused on being selfless, but rather to demonstrate to your children that you are a healthy person. We hope this episode provides a nudge for you to dive deeper into these feelings of mom guilt, and as always, we’re here for you every step of the way. If you enjoy this episode and get something from it, we would love it if you shared it with a friend. This message on mom guilt needs to be shared with as many people as possible, and don’t forget to tag us on Instagram, @herselfpodcast and let us know your biggest takeaways! 10% off at BETTERHELP: http://betterhelp.com/herself 20% off at THIRDLOVE: http://thirdlove.com/herself 121: Shame vs Guilt and The Human Experience 139: Molly Millwood on Finding Your Voice in Motherhood and Marriage Let’s connect!

It would be an understatement to say that we have been looking forward to having today’s guest, Dr. Molly Millwood, back on the podcast! If you’re a long-time listener of HERself, you undoubtedly remember when Molly was with us for Episode 10, which is actually our second most listened to episode of all-time, and one that Amy still receives the most personal messages about. In this episode, Molly reminds us that not every part of motherhood is going to be enjoyable, and it’s ok to voice this out loud. She also helps us get a new perspective on the invisible load faced by so many women and mothers today, along with revealing why it really is time for us to start prioritizing our female friendships again, and a whole lot more. If you enjoy this episode, we would love it if you shared it with a friend.

One topic that we know you tune in for is money, and today we’re covering it with Haley from Mrs. Dow Jones! Haley is a “Financial Pop Star”, and her superpower is the ability to simplify financial matters and make them relatable for her community, which we appreciate so much here at HERself. In this episode, Haley shares her thoughts on a budget versus financial tracking, what you need to know about credit cards and your credit score, and the tremendous impact that holding regular “money dates” with your partner can have (along with so much more good stuff)! The big message that we want you to take away from this episode is that you really can start small and build your financial self-esteem over time. Money issues won’t go away on their own, but just by gaining awareness and implementing the strategies that Haley reveals today, you’ll be in a much better position to empower yourself when it comes to your finances. Haley’s new course, Let’s Invest, is launching on July 28th, 2022, and HERself listeners can use the discount code “HERSELF” for 10% off at https://university.financeiscool.com/p/lets-invest.

| 136. Strategies to Lessen Worry | 11 Jul 2022 | 00:37:51 | |
Today’s episode is inspired by something that we go through as hosts of this podcast which you don’t see as listeners, and that is what goes on behind the scenes as we deal with our guests. Every once in a while we have changes or cancellations, and things can get a little bit stressful for us as a result when these curveballs happen. Both of us often ruminate or worry about the impact that it has on our schedule, and that is what we’re focusing on here. In this episode, we not only share specific strategies that you can use to overcome rumination, but we also reveal our own personal experiences with it and how we’re working to reduce, or eliminate it, as well. Rumination isn’t something that you’re going to solve tomorrow, but just take one step in the right direction whenever you feel that it is popping up for you and see what happens! If you enjoyed this episode, we’d be so honored if you shared it on Instagram, tagging us @herselfpodcast, and make sure to share it with a friend or someone that you think can benefit from this important message! 10% off at BETTERHELP: http://betterhelp.com/herself 15% off at GOODR with code ‘herself15’: https://goodr.com

| 134. Dr. Chelsea Jackson Roberts with Strategies to Be Where Your Feet Are | 27 Jun 2022 | 00:42:32 | |
We’ve got a special treat for you today, as we bring you a conversation we had with the amazing Dr. Chelsea Jackson Roberts. Chelsea earned her teaching credentials and later completed her MA followed by her Ph.D. from the Division of Educational Studies at Emory University in 2014. It is during her experience as a classroom teacher that she began to make connections between literacy development, yoga and other mindfulness practices. Now she’s able to teach hundreds of thousands of people, including celebrity supporters and clientele such as Shonda Rhimes and Jennifer Garner - and she really helped Amy restore after the long pandemic parenting days too! Chelsea is such an inspiration to us, starting as a teacher and now being on a big platform that she is serving people so well on, and we are so happy that you get that chance to learn from her today. Listen in as she shares more about her journey, including how she is approaching being a mom for the very first time, and Chelsea gives us all a reminder that showing up as ourselves is enough.

| 132. Bring on the Men: Colin and Abby Talk Parental Stress with a Spirited Child and Strategies for Miscommunication | 13 Jun 2022 | 00:38:53 | |
Covid has finally hit the entire Green household, and it resulted in a full week of rearranging plans and alternating childcare. Colin and I thought that this would be the perfect time to record an episode with just the two of us, coming to you from our studio (which happens to be our master bedroom, for the time being)! Today we are focusing on some of the biggest obstacles that we deal with as a family, while also sharing how we’re finding strategies to get through them. We have a feeling that many of our pain points may just be the same ones that your family is going through as well! Drew and Amy will be doing an interview with each other for an upcoming episode on the podcast, and you won’t want to miss that one! If you are enjoying this type of content, we’d love it if you shared this episode and let us know what you took away from hearing a new perspective on some of the biggest things that we deal with in parenthood, as well as partnership! 10% off at BETTERHELP: http://betterhelp.com/herself 30 Days free with withopen.com/herself and promo code HERSELF 131.

| 239. Dr. Nancy Grechko on Avoiding Burnout in Personal and Professional Caregiving | 24 Jun 2024 | 00:56:37 | |
Whether you’re a teacher, a nurse, or a therapist, professional burnout is real. Our guest today, licensed psychologist and mother of two, Dr. Nancy Grechko, specializes in supporting women therapists and women working in the mental health field. And while Dr. Grechko’s main focus is with women in the mental health field, they are usually also mothers. The tips she offers in today’s episode are really relatable as busy mothers who want a healthy work/life balance. As mothers, we are caregivers. And sometimes it can be easy to over commit ourselves in our personal and professional lives to help meet the needs and care for the other people in our lives. We can squeeze in that play date on Thursday evening with friends, right? And we can squeeze in one or two more clients on Wednesday morning too? Well, Dr. Grechko tells us today that overscheduling can cause increased stress and resentment over time leading to burnout. It’s important for us to recognize our limits and set boundaries to prevent burnout from occurring. A lot of us have flexible work hours or are able to work from home some days. However, this can make it harder for us to “turn down the volume” of work when we can see emails popping into our inboxes. Dr. Grechko reminds us that we need to be more mindful of being in one place at a time and create more separation between our work and home lives. She has some wonderful teachings to help us create that mindful space. Overall, the importance of recognizing, honoring, and communicating your limits to prevent burnout is what we want you to take away from today’s episode with Dr. Nancy Grechko. And remembering that we weren’t meant to do this motherhood journey alone. There are several tangible tips in today’s episode to help you work through things internally, with partnership, and with a greater support community.

| 131. Emily Oster on Making Confident Decisions in the School Age Years | 06 Jun 2022 | 00:34:31 | |
Today we’re excited to be welcoming Emily Oster back on the podcast! The last time Emily joined us to debunk many of the myths we hear as parents, and today she’s specifically sharing her expertise on how we can be more confident in the decisions we’re making as moms with school-aged children. Emily Oster is a Professor of Economics at Brown University and the author of Expecting Better, Cribsheet and The Family Firm. We were so glad that Emily came back to talk about this topic, because the decisions we must make do get trickier as our kids get older. This is the stage that we are entering right now with our little ones, and we know that many of you are in the same season or getting close to it, so we hope you find the information that Emily shares valuable to you. To hear more great advice from her, we encourage you to check Episode 98, the last time she was here to chat with us! We’d love it if you shared the episode to your Instagram Stories and tag us, @herselfpodcast and @profemilyoster. If you could do us a favor and write a review wherever you listen to the podcast, we read every single one of them and are so grateful for your support in helping us grow the podcast.

With many of us celebrating Memorial Day this week, we thought we’d throw it back to one of the most shared and listened to HERself episodes of all time! This was Episode 3, our very first “Bring On The Men” episode, and it was also our very first one where we had guests on. Drew and Colin joined us to talk about becoming a true partner, and they shared about dividing household tasks, entering parenthood, and that 3-letter-bad-word we refer to as “nag” - plus how to ditch it for good!

| 129: Britt Hawthorne - How to Raise Antiracist Kids | 23 May 2022 | 01:02:25 | |
Today’s episode features a really important conversation with Britt Hawthorne, who is an anti-racism educator, teacher, speaker, visionary and advocate. We are such huge fans of Britt and her energy is so infectious that we could not wait to dive into this interview and to share it with you. What we love about this conversation with Britt is that she explained things in such a non-judgmental way and she answered the questions that so many of us have. Best of all, she gives us the permission to have these tough conversations with our parenting partners and children, as well as providing language to use and her advice for handling anti-racism when it arises. We’d encourage you to pre-order Britt’s upcoming book, Raising Antiracist Children: A Practical Parenting Guide (which we cannot wait to read!) and watch our Instagram this week as we’ll be sharing more great resources from Britt. If this episode resonates with you and you think it could help someone in your life, we’d love it if you shared it to your Instagram Stories and tag us, @herselfpodcast and @britthawthorne.

Motherhood can be hard, and that’s why we like to bring experts on to the podcast to help you, and us, navigate each day as moms. Today’s guest is Kaitlin Soule, a therapist, maternal mental health and anxiety expert, author, and she’s also a HERself listener. It’s been so fun for us to connect with Kaitlin over the last couple of months, and for us to get the opportunity to read her new book, A Little Less of a Hot Mess: The Modern Mom's Guide to Growth & Evolution as we prepared for this interview. Kaitlin shares so many tips, strategies and advice for moms in this interview, and she really is someone who walks the walk by giving herself permission to be fully who she is, and we hope that this conversation allows you to do the same.

Sammy allowed us to ask some very tough questions in this interview, and we are honored that she agreed to be so open with us and our listeners by answering them.

They’re back! Colin and Drew are joining us again this week for another Bring on the Men episode, and this week we’re focusing on all things parenting. Drew may have said it best recently when he said that no one prepares you for these little kid years - and we would have to agree! We want to thank the guys for their vulnerability and openness in sharing what’s behind the curtain of being a dad these days, as they answered some questions that fathers aren’t asked often with some very thoughtful and emotional responses (which makes us love them even more). We hope you enjoyed this special mini-series with Colin and Drew, and that it inspires conversations between you and your own spouses about some of the important topics that we just scratched the surface on these past two episodes. As always, we would be so grateful if you shared the episode, and tag us on Instagram, @herselfpodcast, with your biggest takeaways. 15% off at GOODR with code ‘herself15’: https://goodr.com $20 off first purchase at ROTHY’S: http://rothys.com/herself Links & Resources: Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (and More Life to Live) by Eve Rodsky How Will You Measure Your Life? by Clayton M.

Today we’re all in for a treat, because we have another Bring on the Men episode! It’s been awhile since Colin and Drew have been on the podcast and a lot has changed since that last time they joined us, including our friendships, as we’re all more comfortable and much more open with each other. In this episode, we look at partnering and how different seasons of partnership exist. We believe that every couple, including the 4 of us, have things to work on, constantly. Every time we bring Colin and Drew on, there's going to be different things to talk about, but the thing we really like about these Bring on the Men episodes is that the 4 of us are always committed to recalibrating and getting back on track. Whatever we are going through, we want to make sure we get back on track, and we want the same for you. We had so many important things to touch on about partnership that we decided to make this a special 2-part series with the guys, and you’re not going to want to miss next week’s show where we’ll be focusing on parenting! 10% off at BETTERHELP: http://betterhelp.com/herself Marriage Minute (The Gottman Institute) 63.

| 238. Friendships & Partners: How They Can Be a Positive Source of Energy | 17 Jun 2024 | 00:37:01 | |
We (Amy and Drew, Abby and Colin) just got back from our amazing trip to Kaui, Hawaii to celebrate our 10 year anniversaries. We had such a great time vacationing as separate couples exploring North Shore Kauai, and then also as a group enjoying the South Shore. The best of both worlds! Coming home from Hawaii, we felt compelled to record this episode and talk about friendship. As busy moms, wives, and entrepreneurs, our schedules are pretty full. Which makes the time we dedicate to friendships very sacred. We have learned over the years that not only is time precious, but who you keep in your inner circle is just as important. Are you okay with the habits and behaviors of those friends and their children rubbing off on your kids? Do their values line up with yours? It’s important to choose wisely which friendships you nurture. Choose ones that will build you up and leave you feeling energized and happy instead of drained. Enriching friendships takes a lot of work. A new friend can’t be a best friend immediately. Maintaining surface level friends is okay, but digging deep, asking questions, and spending quality time together can get you to that best friend level. Being open to new friendships in our 30s and 40s may bring a new best friend (or two!) to walk through life with.

| 121: Shame vs Guilt and The Human Experience | 28 Mar 2022 | 00:33:42 | |
Today we’re talking about an important subject and one that can have such a big impact on our lives, especially if we don’t understand it. We’re talking about the shame and the guilt that so many mothers, including ourselves, feel each and every day. As you know, we’re reading Brené Brown’s Atlas of the Heart with our Patreon Book Club, and in the book she helps define what that human experience is for us, and the book can really help us to start to understand the difference between those two words, shame and guilt. What is so fascinating is that shame and guilt are words that are often used interchangeably, but there is a subtle difference that we need to be aware of. We’ll dive deep into that difference in this episode, as well as share both of our personal experiences with these feelings, along with self-compassion, perfectionism, humiliation, and embarrassment. These feelings don’t only plague motherhood, but other extremely important parts of our lives as well. Shame is part of the human experience, and we really want to bring it into the light so this community can start growing together. We hope that you can learn from us, and maybe give yourself the empathy that you really need much earlier than we have in the past with ourselves. 10% off at BETTERHELP: http://betterhelp.com/herself 97.

| 120: The Body Image Episode | 21 Mar 2022 | 00:43:22 | |
Body image and health is a topic that we knew we had to talk about again on the podcast, because it’s something that we’ve both been on a journey with over the past year. Today we’re opening the conversation on body image back up and diving deeper into what this process has looked like for us. We also thought it would be fun to have our friend Nina join us to share her thoughts. The 3 of us just did a swimsuit try-on together showing them to our Instagram followers, and she has some awesome insights that we wanted to share with you in this episode. Before you listen, we must stress that body image is something that anyone can struggle with, and there is space for women of all shapes and sizes to take part in this discussion. If body image is something that you struggle with hearing about, or you find it to be triggering, give yourself permission to sit this episode out. While we are presenting it in a way that we believe to be safe, we want to add this warning so that you can take care of yourself, as always.

| 119: HERself Expert Michelle Dempsey: How to Move on with Certified Divorce and Co-Parenting Specialist | 14 Mar 2022 | 00:36:37 | |
Even if you’re married, it’s still really important for all of us to understand divorce, which is why we wanted to have today’s special guest join us to share her expertise on this subject. Michelle Dempsey is a Certified Divorce and Co-Parenting Specialist and host of the podcast, Moms Moving On, which is also the title of her brand new book (that happens to be launching tomorrow, March 15th, 2022, if you’re listening to this episode in real-time)! Michelle is the go-to divorce guru on Instagram, and today she reveals tangible and actionable advice for women who are thinking of separating, are in the midst of the process, or are a friend who is supporting someone going through divorce right now. As women, we all have to get comfortable in setting boundaries and comfortable with the idea that we’re going to have people mad at us at times, but as Michelle says, this process doesn’t have to be intimidating. We as women always find a way to make it work, and in the end, divorce can be the best thing for not only you and your spouse, but for your children as well.

| 118. Investing in You | 07 Mar 2022 | 00:30:41 | |
Both of us are always reading books, and oftentimes we’re reading the same book at the same time. On today’s episode, we’re looking at a specific chapter from Eve Rodsky’s amazing book, Find Your Unicorn Space: Reclaim Your Creative Life in a Too-Busy World (Eve also happens to be past guest of this podcast, and we encourage you to check out that conversation we had with her)! With this podcast we want to get women one step further than they are today, and the chapter from Eve’s book that spoke so loudly to us was about something that women in our community often struggle with. So many of them are getting swallowed up by mothering, being a partner, and working, which leaves little time to be who they are outside of these roles. This is something that we have both experienced, so we wholeheartedly understand. In today’s episode, we’ll be encouraging you to ask yourself the tough questions. What do you enjoy outside of motherhood? What do you do for fun, and what are the hobbies that light you up? These are questions that some women simply can’t answer, because being so entrenched in their roles, they’ve put themselves on the back burner. We’re hoping to give you a gentle nudge in the right direction here, one that allows you to have interests and to care about things outside of your home and work life. This episode focuses on all parts of you, making sure that you’re giving yourself the time and energy to invest in the relationships that really matter. Ultimately, it’s about making sure that you feel more like YOU by doing the things that help you feel that way!

| 117: HERself Expert Larissa Geleris on Overstimulation in Parenthood | 28 Feb 2022 | 00:39:55 | |
When you’re in the weeds of parenting it can all feel so heavy, and sensory overload is something that so many of us struggle with as parents. This is why we’re looking forward to bringing you this conversation with Larissa Geleris, an Occupational Therapist who has been on a mission to help people become aware of their sensory processing. Larissa supports parents and their children, because if you know more about how sensory works, you’ll be able to be a more empathetic parent and have more tools available for both you and your child. In this episode, Larissa brings a topic to light that is relevant for so many members of this community. Not only are the ideas and concepts she shares backed by science, but they are tangible and doable for anyone. You’ll hear about “reset nachos” and so many more helpful tips from Larissa, and we recommend you try implementing just one or two of the strategies she talks about into your daily life. When you do, you’ll see a world of difference this will make for you and your family!

| 116: HERself Expert Karrie Locher on Building Confidence in Your Own Journey | 21 Feb 2022 | 00:39:00 | |
Motherhood is beautiful, but it’s exhausting and hard at the same time, and we’d be lying if we said it was always easy raising children. Today’s expert guest is Karrie Locher, who is someone that faces these struggles and openly shares about them so that she can help others on their journey. We see a lot of Karrie on Instagram where she has a large following, but we’re so excited to dive into her behind-the-scenes here so that we can all get to know her a bit better and hear more about her life with 4 precious kiddos and her husband. We’ll cover some of the topics that she’s so well known for as a postpartum RN with nearly a decade of experience caring for moms and babies, and more recently she furthered her credentials and became a certified lactation consultant as well. If you’re tired of the curated Instagram feeds and images on television that show mothers who seem to be in total control raising their children 100 percent of the time, you’ll find this conversation refreshing because Karrie is not only an expert on these subjects, but she is real about her own journey in motherhood. We hope you enjoy listening to this episode with Karrie as much as we did in recording it, and that it gives you permission to always be in a state of learning.

| 114: HERself Expert: Stephi Wagner on the Mother Wound | 07 Feb 2022 | 00:59:25 | |
Mother wound is a subject that we really wanted to cover here on the podcast, which is why we just knew when we found today’s guest on Instagram that we had to bring her on the show. If you’re not familiar with what mother wound is, or who it even applies to, we can assure you that you will leave this episode being more informed on this subject. Stephi Wagner is the Founder of The Mother Wound Project, which is fueled by the power of lived experience. Every member of the MWP Team not only has the relevant training and experience in fields such as psychotherapy, psychology and program management but also personal experience with and demonstrated recovery from the mother wound themselves. In this episode, Stephi reveals how becoming aware of and addressing the mother wound is really all about reclaiming ourselves and breaking the silence, isolation, and often generation cycles that exist with the mother wound. She provides the first steps to take and helpful resources to start healing the mother wound right now. If this episode resonates with you, or you know someone who could benefit by listening to it, we would love it if you could share it and tag us in your Instagram Stories.

| 113: Don’t Stay Stuck in the Suck | 31 Jan 2022 | 00:27:16 | |
This new year started off with its fair challenges for us, including a stomach virus, breaks from work and cases of Covid (in both our households!), and more. Today, we want to share our thoughts about these experiences in pandemic parenting, as well as give you some tools that we’ve found helpful, including mindset shifts and exercises that you can start implementing in your daily life. If you’re exhausted right now, know that we’re right there with you, but that you don’t have to stay stuck in the suck! Embracing the challenges, surviving, and finding those little pockets of light where we can is going to help us all feel better through this time. Remember that our paths in life for a large part have been chosen for us, and time will keep moving on regardless of what is happening, but we’ve got to figure out how to make the most of it for ourselves, our families, and each and every person we meet!

| 112: The Matrescence: Your Process of Becoming a Mother | 24 Jan 2022 | 00:40:06 | |
Motherhood can be hard for EVERY single one of us, and if you feel like you’re silently struggling in this area you are not alone. I’m so excited to be introducing you to Laura and Megan from The Matrescence, and if you’re not sure what this word means, don’t worry because we talk all about the meaning behind the name and the very personal mission of The Matrescence in this powerful episode! What Laura and Megan are doing in the world right now is so needed, because we all know how difficult it can be for mothers to find time, especially in a global pandemic, to take care of themselves. In this episode, they share the importance of prioritizing self-care for not only yourself as a mother, but for your entire family, and what you can do to begin using movement and exercise without the mom guilt that often comes with it. Laura and Megan reveal what they each do to overcome the common pitfalls that mothers face, like feeling the need to wear all of the hats and carrying the invisible load, while falling short in different areas of daily life, and so much more. This conversation provides real, actionable advice from real mommas, along with so many tools you can start using to improve your mental (and overall) health today!

| 237. The Episode You Need If You Are About to Return from Maternity Leave | 10 Jun 2024 | 00:31:10 | |
We have some news to share today… Pursuing HER Purpose, our other business focused on helping entrepreneurial moms with our friend Kat, is officially closing its doors. As we mention in today’s episode, while PHP may be ending, we are bringing over the best of that brand to the HERself platform! Our consulting services and coaching courses will still be available on our website. In honor of one season ending and another beginning, we thought we would replay one of the most listened to episodes from the PHP podcast titled “The Episode You Need if You Are About to Return From Maternity Leave” for you today. The season of your maternity leave ending can be bittersweet. It can seem daunting to leave your infant just as you were getting the hang of being a new mom, or new mom again! In this episode we go through many tips and tricks to help you during this transition like what to wear to pump at work, how to prepare the night before for a smooth morning and daycare drop off, as well as how to lean on your partner during this season. Beyond the physical things we can do to prepare to go back to work, we encourage you to embrace a mindset change too. Instead of feeling guilty for needing to step away from work for 15 minutes to go pump, changing your mindset to “I’m doing this for my baby” can help you stay motivated and empowered to go pump. Going back to work can be stressful, but reminding yourself that your role of providing for your family is important and your kids will be so proud of you for doing so! To wrap up, Kat shares with us a heartfelt letter she wrote to her children when her maternity leave was coming to an end. If you are coming over from the PHP podcast, thank you for your support over the years and your continued support here at HERself!

“Come on, we never hang out anymore. What would one drink hurt?” The pressure around drinking is still relevant for many women in our community. For some it’s not an issue where others feel the heaviness of saying ‘yes’ out of obligation even though their gut is saying “no”. In this episode with Michelle Smith from @recoveryisthenewblack, we dive into all things mommy wine culture and how to be a better friend or stand up for yourself. Michelle is an author, educator and engaging TEDx speaker and has used her personal experience and work as a substance abuse counselor to support people on their journey to recovery. This is a judgment free episode. Listen with an open mind and an open heart on where you can make small changes in your life to do and feel your best.
