One subject that comes up over and over again with our community is friendship, so we’re excited to bring Dr. Marisa Franco, a psychologist and friendship expert, back on the podcast today! Some of the things we cover in this episode include keeping friendships healthy when we’re in a busy season of life, tools for navigating conflict in friendship (and why conflict isn’t necessarily a bad thing),...

In the United States this week we are celebrating Labor Day, and we know that many of you may be with friends and family and won’t have as much time for your normal Monday morning podcast listen. For this reason, today we are bringing you a Greatest Hits episode, and one that will be especially important if you are with your in-laws this week!  Dr. Tracy Dalgleish joins the HERself Podcast to talk...

Hi, it’s Amy here, and today is one episode that I’ve been wanting to do for a long time now! In this episode, you’ll hear me share about my own health journey that I’ve been on for the past year and a half, and I reveal what has happened during this time, where I am today, and more.  Joining me is Sammie Gollup, who is an incredible dietician, to make sure that we have a safe and scientific conve...

Today’s episode is all about relationships, and specifically the power of those in-person friendships that mean so much. We’ll be sharing some of the things that we’ve been going through ourselves lately, but one thing we strongly believe in at  HERself is that you need to have good friends in your life that you can absolutely count on.  Real relationships take time to nurture and the process can’...

Today we are tackling the topic of mom guilt, which is something we talked about way back on Episode 12 of the podcast. This is important to mention, because what we say today is coming from a place of it being two years later. Back then, mom guilt was something that we were struggling more with, which led to both of us doing a lot of work in this area, and we want to share our insights and what w...

It would be an understatement to say that we have been looking forward to having today’s guest, Dr. Molly Millwood, back on the podcast! If you’re a long-time listener of HERself, you undoubtedly remember when Molly was with us for Episode 10 , which is actually our second most listened to episode of all-time, and one that Amy still receives the most personal messages about.  In this episode, Moll...

One topic that we know you tune in for is money, and today we’re covering it with Haley from Mrs. Dow Jones! Haley is a “Financial Pop Star”, and her superpower is the ability to simplify financial matters and make them relatable for her community, which we appreciate so much here at HERself.  In this episode, Haley shares her thoughts on a budget versus financial tracking, what you need to know a...

Alyssa Blask Campbell dives into a topic that is real in this community - emotional intelligence.  Not just for raising our children to learn EI but to help us understand it in the process. As an expert in this field, Alyssa is no stranger to how dysregulated emotions for an adult can impact a child and she dives into real scenarios on how we (and our partners) can learn, repair, and grow in this...

Today’s episode is inspired by something that we go through as hosts of this podcast which you don’t see as listeners, and that is what goes on behind the scenes as we deal with our guests. Every once in a while we have changes or cancellations, and things can get a little bit stressful for us as a result when these curveballs happen. Both of us often ruminate or worry about the impact that it has...

This episode is being released the week of July 4th in the United States, and we realize that with the Independence Day holiday, you may be a bit busier this week spending time with family and friends - but you must relisten to this episode!  Today we are bringing you one of our Greatest Hits episodes with HERself Expert, Vanessa Marin, a sex therapist who takes the taboo out of sex. This is such...

Last week, you heard Colin and Abby talk about what’s going on in their marriage and with parenthood right now, and today Drew and I will be diving into some questions that I gathered from the community for us. You’ll hear what we’ve been going through as well, and the goal of this episode is that by sharing our experiences and the way we are working through certain things that come up, you might...

Covid has finally hit the entire Green household, and it resulted in a full week of rearranging plans and alternating childcare. Colin and I thought that this would be the perfect time to record an episode with just the two of us, coming to you from our studio (which happens to be our master bedroom, for the time being)! Today we are focusing on some of the biggest obstacles that we deal with as a...

Today we’re excited to be welcoming Emily Oster back on the podcast!

With many of us celebrating Memorial Day this week, we thought we’d throw it back to one of the most shared and listened to HERself episodes of all time! This was Episode 3, our very first “Bring On The Men” episode, and it was also our very first one where we had guests on. Drew and Colin joined us to talk about becoming a true partner, and they shared about dividing household tasks, entering par...

Today’s episode features a really important conversation with Britt Hawthorne, who is an anti-racism educator, teacher, speaker, visionary and advocate. We are such huge fans of Britt and her energy is so infectious that we could not wait to dive into this interview and to share it with you.  What we love about this conversation with Britt is that she explained things in such a non-judgmental way...

Motherhood can be hard, and that’s why we like to bring experts on to the podcast to help you, and us, navigate each day as moms. Today’s guest is Kaitlin Soule, a therapist, maternal mental health and anxiety expert, author, and she’s also a HERself listener. It’s been so fun for us to connect with Kaitlin over the last couple of months, and for us to get the opportunity to read her new book, A L...

Self-love, living in the present moment and self-acceptance are things we talk about so often here on the podcast, which is why we’re really excited to bring you our conversation with author, podcaster and meditation teacher Rosie Acosta!

We’re hoping today will be a powerful episode, as we talk about the common things that come up for us as women! Abby uses her life coaching knowledge to coach us, having gone through The University of Wisconsin’s Professional Coaching Degree in Business and Life Coaching, and we always want to make sure that we’re giving you the right information and coaching that is research-based.  There are thi...

Today we have Abby’s long-time friend Sammy Harrison on the podcast, and she is someone who has been an inspiration to watch over the years. When we talk about the concept of turning pain into courage, this is exactly what Sammy has done with her life! Sammy is a certified life coach, podcaster and former secret binge eater, and in this episode she specifically shares her personal experiences rela...

We could not be more excited to talk with our special guest today, because we have Susie Allison from Busy Toddler with us! Susie is a former kindergarten and first grade teacher turned stay-at-home mom. She is an author and one of Instagram’s favorite moms, because she gives us so many tangible tips to help us navigate the “little kids years” and what to do to keep our children happy, thriving, a...

They’re back! Colin and Drew are joining us again this week for another Bring on the Men episode, and this week we’re focusing on all things parenting. Drew may have said it best recently when he said that no one prepares you for these little kid years - and we would have to agree!  We want to thank the guys for their vulnerability and openness in sharing what’s behind the curtain of being a dad t...

Today we’re all in for a treat, because we have another Bring on the Men episode! It’s been awhile since Colin and Drew have been on the podcast and a lot has changed since that last time they joined us, including our friendships, as we’re all more comfortable and much more open with each other.  In this episode, we look at partnering and how different seasons of partnership exist. We believe that...

Today we’re talking about an important subject and one that can have such a big impact on our lives, especially if we don’t understand it. We’re talking about the shame and the guilt that so many mothers, including ourselves, feel each and every day.
