PANDEMIC PREGNANCIES PT. 1 - EP. 12 - MOM LIFE CRISIS
August 26, 2020 07:00 - 38 minutes - 26.5 MBMany months into the pandemic we're watching both of our babies rapidly grow into little girls before our very (tear-filled) eyes and, because of Covid-19, only our eyes. We recognize that we're grieving the loss of our dreams and expectations for new mom life - play dates, birthday parties, mommies day out, and uninhibited interactions with our friends and families. There are women who've given birth or are navigating pregnancies during this pandemic too. Those who've held virtual baby sh...
UNSOLICITED MOM ADVICE - EP. 11 - MOM LIFE CRISIS
August 12, 2020 06:00 - 44 minutes - 30.8 MBThere are so many things to learn about motherhood, most of which happens on the fly, on the job, or by googling while on the night shift. As first time moms, in addition to our own research, we both relied on the advice, recommendations and real-world experiences of other moms. We've also found that not everybody is keen on receiving unsolicited mom advice. Why is that? On this episode we chat about: Giving and receiving unsolicited mom advice Why some Moms resist hearing advice How to...
WE'VE HAD ENOUGH - EP. 10 - MOM LIFE CRISIS
July 01, 2020 20:00 - 42 minutes - 29 MB100 (million?!) days into all that comes with Quarantining as Moms and it's safe to say WE'VE HAD ENOUGH! It's also safe to say, we're embarking on even more of this... On our 10th episode of Mom Life Crisis, we're catching up with each other 6 months into 2020 AKA the hardest year in modern history, more than 3 months into sheltering in place and away from each other, and more than 100 days without justice for Breonna Taylor. Listen to hear: Plans for schooling kids in the fall - hybrid-s...
Breastfeeding pt. 2 - Ep. 9 - Mom Life Crisis
May 27, 2020 21:00 - 48 minutes - 33.3 MBWe're digging deeper into our favorite topic, #liquidgold. On part 2 of Breastfeeding we talk about the importance of seeking the support of a lactation consultant to begin your journey empowered by knowledge, professional support, and a good latch! Letdowns, what that means, all the ways and places it can happen and the tools that helped us have the best experience (and driest clothes) possible. We touch on diet, how proper hydration and thoughtful food choices can lead to the best producti...
Breastfeeding pt. 1 - Ep. 8 - Mom Life Crisis
May 13, 2020 19:00 - 32 minutes - 22.5 MBBreastfeeding is easily our favorite topic when it comes to motherhood at this point. With Marci 15 months in (reluctantly) and Shalishah 7 months in, we've learned a lot along the way that we share, sometimes without invitation, with every pregnant woman, mother-to-be, or person with ears as often as we can. We hope that this series which may go for 2 or 3 episodes, because it's our jam, will equip you with accurate information, support and a plan to provide #liquidgold to your little one f...
MOM LIFE CRISIS - EP. 7 - LOCKDOWN LIFE
April 22, 2020 17:00 - 38 minutes - 26.8 MBWe're losing track of time and somedays it feels like we're losing our minds. The laundry is piling up. Canned goods are beginning to not taste so good. We're convinced our houses are shrinking or gravity is pulling all of our family (dogs included) to only the rooms we're in. We miss our mothers something serious and are willing to risk it all for their support. The news gives us the blues and multi-hyphenate, ya know Remote Workers / Partners / Mothers / Homeschool Teachers / Housecleaners...
MOM LIFE CRISIS - EP. 6 - SAFER AT HOME
March 26, 2020 05:00 - 31 minutes - 21.9 MBThis #coronavirus pandemic has us clinging to our babies a little tighter these days and savoring the mandated moments we get to spend each day with our immediate families. For moms who value goals like completing 40 weeks of pregnancy, the first 6 weeks of newborn bootcamp and a solid 12 months of breastfeeding, these unpredictable times can feel quite unsettling. On this episode, #SaferAtHome, we get together (virtually) to chat about how things escalated quickly and how we’re preparing o...
MOM LIFE CRISIS - EP. 5 - HOW TO GO VIRAL
March 11, 2020 23:00 - 32 minutes - 22.6 MBWhat do ideas, joy, peanut butter, and viruses have in common? They all spread! The first three we’re totally into. The last one…not so much. Our fifth episode is all about protecting our little ones and ourselves from all the germs. You should totally share this episode with your pregnant friends. Particularly now, in the heart of flu season and the hysteria of coronavirus, there are measures us Mama Bears can take to proactively prevent and control infections. Tune in to hear why hand...
MOM LIFE CRISIS - EPISODE 4 - "MAMA MENTALITY"
February 26, 2020 19:00 - 29 minutes - 20.5 MBCreating life really lit a fire under each of us. Maybe you can relate? We have each become more creative and fearless, hence the real and uncut podcast. We’ve each prioritized relationships that hold us accountable and help us out from time to time. We’ve also spent quite a bit of time asking questions of ourselves, usually during the hours of breastfeeding or watching our little ones sleep, because we don’t get to do much of that! Who do we want to be, not just as mothers, but as role mode...
MOM LIFE CRISIS - EPISODE 3 - "ALL THINGS LOVE"
February 12, 2020 19:00 - 39 minutes - 26.9 MBIt's easy to give and receive love on Valentine's Day, but what about the other 364 days of the year? On our third episode of Mom Life Crisis we talk about how to prioritize and love your partner, your childcare providers, your family and friends in the midst of new mom life. Let's be real, loving your little one is the easy part... and the priority! It's the other relationships, including the one with yourself, that take intention and work. Tune in to hear: How paddling out of her comfo...
EPISODE 2 - "HURRY UP AND WAIT"
January 29, 2020 02:00 - 26 minutes - 18.5 MBWe’ve done a lot of things over the years to keep ourselves busy while we waited to become moms. We traveled, got degrees, adopted our first sons AKA our dogs, kissed some frogs, bought houses, picked babies names, scratched off the ones the Kardashians got to before us, counted our eggs, nearly froze them, AND, let our doctors tell it, we were dangerously close to kissing those eggs goodbye. Our doctors think we’re old. Apparently, all pregnant women over 35 are! On our second episode, Hu...
MOM LIFE CRISIS - EPISODE 1 - "LABEL US VICTORIOUS"
January 15, 2020 06:00 - 29 minutes - 20.2 MBWe're bringing in the new year with a brand-new resolution – to celebrate even the smallest victories each day on your motherhood journey. No blowouts today? Took a bubble bath? Spent a few minutes on your favorite hobby? Used your phone for more than taking baby pics? Nobody died? All things to celebrate, if we say so ourselves! This is our very first episode on Mom Life Crisis, so not only will you get to meet us, Marci and Shalishah, but you’ll get to learn a few things about us too. W...
