Have you been told your labs are normal… but you’re still not pregnant? If you’ve received the label “unexplained infertility,” this episode might completely reframe what’s actually happening in your body. Because unexplained doesn’t mean nothing is wrong. It often means nothing deeper was investigated. In this episode, I break down why fertility isn’t just about ovulation, open tubes, or sperm co...

Are painful, heavy, or irregular periods really “normal”… or have we just been told they are? Most women were taught how to hide their period, not how to understand it. We were taught to discreetly carry tampons. Push through cramps. Accept heavy bleeding. Laugh off PMS rage. Assume exhaustion before our cycle is just part of being a woman. Your period is one of the clearest monthly health signals...

Last week I told you the five things I do care about as a parent so today we’re flipping the script. I’m sharing the five things I absolutely do not give a shit about. Some of these I used to be type-A obsessed with, and others I’ve never cared about for even one second. Motherhood has humbled me, softened me, and honestly just rearranged my priorities in a way that feels a hell of a lot healthier...

I wasn’t planning on recording today, but it’s snowing, my house is quiet, and after changing a poopy pull-up at midnight, I had a very clear thought: the things I thought would matter as a parent do not matter. At all. The things I actually care about now are way simpler… and way deeper. First up: breakfast. I don’t force my kid to eat but when he skips breakfast I notice a huge difference in his...

This is something I’ve wanted to talk about for a long time — but I could never quite put it into words. Then, after hearing the same frustrations come up again and again in my discovery calls lately, I realized it was time. We’re getting into why most functional medicine doesn’t actually stick — and what we do differently here at Motherland to make sure we’re the last practitioners you ever have...

Let’s talk about a topic that so many women feel ashamed of—and I really want to take that shame out of it—weight loss. There’s a lot of noise around this topic, and honestly, most of it is really annoying. So today, I’m breaking down what’s actually going on inside your body and why so many women feel stuck when it comes to changing their body composition. Here’s the thing: if you’ve tried all th...

Let’s talk hormones, shall we? I know you probably feel like you’re doing everything right — working out, eating well, buying all the supplements — but your cycle is still unpredictable and your energy feels off. The truth is, some of the things you think are helping might actually be doing the opposite. In this episode, I’m breaking down six sneaky things that might be f*ing with your hormones an...

I’ve been wanting to chat about this for a while, and honestly, this one feels extra personal. I cozied up with my water, blanket, and sweatshirt for this conversation because it’s one that’s been on my mind quite a bit lately — the whole “do we want another baby?” conversation. When Chris and I first talked about kids, we were totally those people who said, “Yeah, two under two sounds great.” Lik...

We made it. Welcome to episode one of It’s All Connected . Not gonna lie, this is actually my second attempt at recording episode one because apparently tech issues are a podcaster’s nightmare and, yep, I already hit it. But here we are — I’m officially a podcaster now! I was supposed to launch this podcast back in December 2020, right after I found out I was pregnant with Rylo. But then hyperemes...

I’ve never shared Rylo’s birth story publicly—until now. This episode feels both vulnerable and freeing, because his birth shaped so much of who I am today and even plays into why we haven’t had another baby yet. From the moment we started trying to conceive, I was full of hope and anticipation. But by week six of pregnancy, everything shifted. I was hit with hyperemesis gravidarum, and let me tel...

We’re diving into burnout, stress, and resilience...
