Episode 78: Living the DREAM; with Bri Pretrarca: business owner & magic mama!

This episode is darling and dreamy, inspiring and touching all at the same time. We are honored to welcome an adorable, adventurous mama of 3! Business Designer & Owner, and Disney enthusiast: Bri Pretrarca (@darlingdreamco) We were so very inspired by Bri’s vision and determination, leaving a teaching career behind to pursue her literal DREAM of designing magical clothing & selling it- eventually making a really good living off of it, and doing it out of her home WHILE mothering three young boys! We are inspired by Bri’s family, who dedicate their lives to shining bright and working together to bring magic to others! Bri is also a Disney enthusiast and we had a fun chat about doing Disneyland with toddlers, and some of her Disneyland faves at the end! You can find Bri on Instagram: @darlingdreamco for all of the amazing items she has for sale in her shop- and a lot of Disney magic! Go find her and follow along!

Episode 56: How Less TV and Tech has changed our Motherhood! w/ Eden Lee

This weeks episode is all about the life-changing practice of having less tech and TV in our homes.

We have absolutely NO judgement on moms who allow TV- let’s get that straight! We’ve all been there and there are seasons for everything, but we’ve also experienced seasons of less TV and tech in our homes and it’s been life-changing!

So today, we introduce our third and final co-host, Eden Lee, and then have a fun conversation about the pros we’ve seen eliminating TV, and how that has functioned in our homes and with our kids. It’s not easy, folks- but sometimes it’s been worth it!

However YOU do motherhood, just know- YOU are the mom your kids need and you’re doing it right!

(Episode Replay) Motherhood Loneliness, it's for real!

We’ve all felt lonely. Whether it was after a new baby, a big move, or just the day to day of caring for our little ones. It’s something we don’t always care to admit, and can weigh us down like no other!

We know it hurts, and we are here to help! In today’s episode, we will discuss some of our most lonely moments as moms, and how we tried to combat them. We will give the best advice we can, and meet you where you stand. It may require some action, or a shift in mindset, but you CAN feel better, and we want you to know it! In the end, we believe that loneliness is okay.

This mom thing is no joke, but just remember that you aren’t alone- and even those surrounded by friends can be experiencing the deepest sense of loneliness. So let’s do this thing together! Hit play, and join us for a vulnerable discussion on this often avoided topic.

(Episode Replay): You’ve Got it in You! Coping with Fatigue, Anxiety & Postpartum Depression

(Episode Replay): You’ve Got it in You! Coping with Fatigue, Anxiety & Postpartum Depression

**One of our favorite episodes! Shared with you again this week!**

In today’s episode, we open up about fatigue, anxiety and postpartum depression. We’ve experienced all three at different times, and we are in the thick of a couple of them now!

Postpartum depression can be all-consuming, and it’s more than just a bad day.

The polarizing fears that come with anxiety are something completely different, yet equally difficult. We will chat vulnerably about night terrors, irrational fears and how cope.

And lastly, Fatigue. So often we sweep this under the rug and “just deal with it” as moms. But it needs to be acknowledged.

We will give you practical solutions for coping with fatigue, anxiety and depression as well as encouragement.

We hope you know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. We’ve been there. We ARE there. Right along with you. So hit play, and cry with us today, mama. We are strong, and we’ve got it in us to keep fighting!

Tully (2018) is the movie we mentioned about postpartum fatigue- it’s rated R, and has adult content, but gives a good look into the life of a tired new mom. Reach out to us via email so we can help you find it, and also find an edited version.
