The Mama Mindful Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Today’s episode is filled with such beautiful vibes, and I am so excited to share it with you! In this episode, I sit down with Stephanie Lopez. Stephanie is a mother of two, and an Organizational Psychologist and Executive Coach supporting high-achieving mamas in their journey to becoming their best selves through self-discovery. Stephanie went from working as an Organizational Development Advisor at NASA, to having a life-changing experience that birthed the work she does with mothers today. In this conversation, we will dive into her own self-transformation journey, how she left a job that she loved to follow her passion, and profound yet simple actionable steps that you can take to begin your own journey to becoming your best self.

Enjoy!

In today’s episode, I sat down with Oceana Hazut, a woman and a mother walking the path least traveled, as most would say! Oceana has spent the majority of her life learning about natural women’s medicine, rituals and traditions of the womb, and healing ancestral lineages. She had always felt a deep calling to become a birth worker, and once she transitioned into motherhood herself, she began pursuing her work as a Holistic Childbirth educator. In this episode we dive into her motherhood journey, her birth story, the work she does with mothers, ancestral birthing and what that really means, as well as the natural hormonal physiology of birth - a topic which is extremely fascinating - and so much more! Oceana is a woman that walks the talk, and holds so much experiential wisdom. Having her on the podcast was such an honor, and I am so grateful to share this episode with you today!

Enjoy!

In today's episode, I sit down with my beautiful cousin Natalia Botero. Natalia is a mama, a personal development coach, a Yoga, meditation, and mindfulness teacher, the creator of Aroma Mindful, and she has a Ph.D. in Architecture and Neuroscience. Natalia has been walking the Yogic Path for 25 years, and the Motherhood path for 10. And in this episode, we dive deep into her overall experience. From retreating to the mountains during her pregnancy, to years later, redirecting her career path to honor an inner calling. We also discuss the importance of connecting with our baby from the moment of conception, honoring our body's needs and changing with the seasons of our life, practicing spirituality through Motherhood, and so much more. This was a very intimate, and vulnerable conversation that will leave you feeling light, and grounded!

Enjoy!

In today’s episode, I am joined by Amanda Bortle; a beautiful mama that felt compelled to share her birth story with us, and I am so happy, and grateful that she did because it holds so much value for expecting mothers! Although her birth didn’t go as expected, in her words, 'it turned out to be a wildly incredible experience!' 

We also discussed what it was like changing midwives late in her pregnancy, and the resources that supported her in her preparation for her pregnancy! If you are an expecting mama, or simply a mama like me who loves to listen to birth stories, then stick around for this conversation because it is such a good one! 

Enjoy!

On Today’s episode, we are conversing with Carmen from the Birth Coach Company! She is a wealth of knowledge with a beautiful holistic approach to pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. In this episode, we discuss how to prepare for birth by releasing fears and creating a positive mindset, listening to intuition, getting your body into alignment, educating yourself, as well as what your partner can do to support you best. We also dive into her own birth story and her experience with postpartum depression. All in all, this was such an incredible conversation that I know will educate and inspire both expecting mama’s, and mama’s that might be experiencing trauma from their birth experience.

Enjoy loves!

On today’s episode we are diving deep into Prenatal and Pediatric Chiropractic Care with the brilliant Dr.Ian Shtulman! He is a second-generation chiropractor with a strong passion for supporting mama and baby through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. He truly is unlike any other chiropractor I have ever met before. My daughter Ava has been seeing him since she was about 2 months old, and he has completely expanded my perspective on Chiropractic care and how impactful it can be for both mama and baby through all stages of their journey. In this episode, he helps us better understand why, and how this practice can be so beneficial during pregnancy, postpartum, and in the day to day! As well as how it can benefit our little ones. Enjoy!

Helloooo beauties! Welcome back to the podcast.

In today's episode, we get to chat with Chrissy L, also known as @The.Peaceful.Sleeper on Instagram! She is a mama of four, a baby sleep expert, a licensed therapist, an entrepreneur, and an overall badass! I have been following her since Ava was born and she helped me tremendously with getting her sleep in check just through the content she shares. There is so much value in all of it! In this episode, we discuss the importance of sleep, how it affects our physiology, and our child's development. As well as how we can help our children sleep better. We also touch on sleep training, and her method, which is a much more gentle approach. And one of my favorite parts, how she juggles being a mama, wife, and successful entrepreneur! 

You can connect with Chrissy on Instagram @The.Peaceful.Sleeper, or through her website: https://thepeacefulsleeper.com.

I hope that by the end of this episode, you feel as empowered as I did.

Welcome to the Mama Mindful Podcast!

In this episode, I sit down with the beautiful Christina Sullivan. She is known as an online health and fitness coach, but I see her as a woman with a strong will and a powerful mind.

Christina recently gave birth to her precious daughter, Hailey!

When we recorded this interview, she was expecting, and in this episode, we will dive deep into her entire journey; from being in a toxic relationship to a complicated pregnancy that ended in a loss, then meeting her soul mate, being told she would never be able to have kids and HOW she used the power of her mind, and intelligence of her body to conceive.

If you want to connect with Christina, you can find her on Instagram @XTinasullivan!
