Today on the show, we explore the spiritual side of motherhood. When a baby is born, a mother is also born. And when that child is put into the arms of that woman, that woman transforms. Our culture is very heavy on the baby registry, and supporting the needs of the baby, and sleep training and feeding schedules and all of those things. But where is the conversation around the transformation into...

Today on the show I'm joined by Caitlin Murray of Big Time Adulting. Caitlin is...

Wouldn't it be nice if we could just wave a magic wand and have our babies sleep through the night? Many sleep training techniques purport to do such a thing (sort of), but in reality, not all sleep training is created equal. And that's because not all babies are created equal! But just because your baby or toddler or even older child doesn't respond to traditional sleep training ta...

Did you know that 90% of a child's lifelong neuron connections are formed in the first 6 years of their lives?

Hey mama, are you tired? Yes, yes. I know you're probably physically tired. But I'm talking emotionally tired. Emotionally tired of holding space for everyone else's feelings but not having enough time or space to process your own.

Parenting is undoubtedly one of the hardest transitions a person can go through in their life. Rewarding, yes. But also ultimately very challenging emotionally, spiritually and physically.

You may be among tha...
