The New Mom Boss Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Welcome back to the New Mom Boss Podcast! In this episode, we are learning all about non-outcome-based childbirth preparation with my special guest, Amanda Gorman. As a childbirth educator and postpartum support advocate, Amanda brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table.

She shares some incredible insights into what it means to approach childbirth without being tied to a specific outcome, discusses three different types of knowing that can aid women in their birth preparation, and even gives us her top three things she wishes she’d known when giving birth the first time.

 Some big takeaways are:

1. It takes a lot of openness to not tie yourself to a certain birth outcome.
2. Sometimes the real treasure is looking back to your ancestral roots. 
3. Don’t judge yourself too harshly - practice self-compassion.

Amanda also spends time covering a variety of birthing classes that women should look into for childbirth education. They are listed in the show notes, so head there to learn more! www.newmomboss.com/blog/159

Welcome back to the New Mom Boss Podcast! Get ready to dive into a topic that's all about empowering moms and shattering the notion that certain pelvic floor symptoms are just "normal" after becoming a mom. Join me as I share this conversation with Johanna Metzger, a physical therapist extraordinaire and certified lactation consultant.

In this episode, we explore the essential aspects of pelvic floor physical therapy and uncover the various postpartum symptoms that women may encounter. We also discuss her own breastfeeding journey and the ins and outs of this vital part of motherhood. You’re in for an enlightening discussion that will leave you feeling empowered and ready to take charge of your own maternal well-being!

 Some big takeaways are:

1. Not everything that is common is normal.
2. As much as we care for the babies postpartum, we also need to care for the moms.
3. It’s not selfish for moms to want themselves back.

In this episode, Tessa Visser talks about her work in pediatrics and coaching, and why she felt the need to extend her services to postpartum wellness for moms. She shares the most important things to know about taking care of your newborn, including feeding, sleep, and immediate postpartum concerns like umbilical cord care and c-section healing.

Tessa also discusses the importance of postpartum wellness for moms, which often goes overlooked in our culture. She explains how moms can tell if they're not achieving wellness and offers tips on how to ask for help and track their wellness progress.

 Some big takeaways are:

1. Knowing what’s normal helps us identify what might be a problem.
2. Wellness comes from looking at the whole person.
3. Coaching works to fill the gaps created by the healthcare system.

Riley is the Founder & CEO of Rebel Boss, a fitnesspreneur business accelerator that helps women to build high-impact, high-revenue businesses. She is also a mom to her 18-month old son, Leo.

Riley began her pregnancy like most moms, but looking back on her experience, there were several things she wishes had been different!

In today’s conversation with Gretchen, she shares with us how she prepared for her pregnancies with her “let’s wing it” approach. We talk more about how she believes this affected her delivery and get honest about the things that might have been different had she been more prepared.

We also talk about gearing up to go back to work postpartum. Gretchen had to find her own version of balance in this season and has some valuable insight for moms who are looking to return to the workforce.

In this episode, I have a wonderful conversation about Hypnobirthing with Estee Nadav, a HypnoBirthing educator, and certified postpartum doula. She defines what hypnobirthing is, and what it is not, and explains 6 different tools/techniques that can be used in the process. She really illustrates the perfect picture for what it is, that honestly blew all stereotypes out of the water! Obviously, we have a vision of what we want birth to look like. But Estee's dream is that women will be able to accept whatever may come with calmness and joy.Show Notes Link: https://www.newmomboss.com/54
