Motherish

Pamela opens her heart in this letter to Ford.

Motherhood is truly a love like no other. And although our babies hear us say "I love you" all the time, we really don’t get a chance to truly tell them how our lives were changed for the better with their arrivals. Today we open our hearts and mics to share with you our very intimate love letters to our babies.

It is one of the most important things we should do, yet very few of us find the time to do it. We are talking all things self-care, from why we must do it and how to actually do it. Known as “The Queen of Chill”, entrepreneur and new mommy, Cyndi Ramirez-Fulton joins us to tell us how she manages self-care and juggles the business owner life now as a mom.

Being pregnant means being responsible for the little life that is growing inside you. The list of “dos” and “don’ts” while pregnant can be long, overwhelming, and sometimes scary, but don’t let this overshadow all the joy this journey brings. Today we talk about the famous “Pregnancy Do’s and Dont’s” with OB/GYN Dr. Ernesto Cardenas and also share what “bump rules” surprised us during our pregnancies.

Milestones, milestones, milestones... a term you probably didn’t hear or even think about until you became a parent. It’s normal as parents to get excited about our baby’s developmental milestones, but it’s also very easy to get overwhelmed with anxiety about them. In today’s episode, we talk to Jessica Rolph, co-founder & CEO of Lovevery about what we could and should be doing as parents to help our children achieve these goals while also enjoying the journey.

In order to be the best mothers we can be for our children, we need to constantly evolve.  When emotions are running high and clarity is running low, it’s very hard to be objective about our own triumphs and struggles as mothers.  Karen and Pamela interview two of their closest family members to get a clear and brutally honest perspective as to how motherhood has changed them, where they have thrived and where they needed some help.

In this episode, we share the lessons learned from our hardest experiences and talk about the resilience of a Mother - which is a power like no other. Our guest, certified master coach and fellow mommy, Laura Posada, will share her story of her first-born son, and talk about how a mother’s love can get us through even the darkest moments.

As relatively new moms, Pamela and Karen go over their first-hand experience in prepping for their babies and share what they felt they needed, and all the things they ended up returning! It’s so hard to not get caught up in “baby registry bliss” but in reality, babies don’t need that many things!

Jenny Best, the founder of Solid Starts, joins Pamela and Karen in an insightful conversation around starting solids with your baby and teaching us about the path of Baby Led Weaning.

Picture this - you’re having a great week, doing huge things at work or feeling so productive working on a personal project, and then boom - it hits you like a train, out of nowhere. MOM GUILT. We fight it, we ignore it, we rationalize, but let’s face it, we all live with it. Today we’ll talk about how we manage this and give you the pep talk that you probably need today.
