She also answers the tough questions that so many of us have. How do we handle our kid’s fears and anxieties? Where does rebellion come from and what can we do about it? How can we better understand a child who is lacking motivation? And, how do we help our kids not miss out on a commitment because they are nervous?

Throughout this interview we nod our heads along with all the advice Erica gives on topics including the invisible load in motherhood, what causes the feeling of being on edge, toxic positivity and so much more.

At the end of the episode, Erica speaks on Dads. We get asked so often, from you, about how your partner/husband can get resources. We wanted to make sure we covered that inside this interview as well. Because we all know Dads and partners struggle too.

This is the type of episode that is going to push you. It also challenged us. Vanessa and Dené  speak so vividly on why it’s important to have a sense of self throughout your entire life. They define what codependency is and how that compares to interdependence. We ask them the hard question of whether we should wait for our partners to change, should we try to change them or is it best to just accept them for who they are?

In the three years of hosting this podcast, this episode is one of my (Abby) very favorites episodes. You’re not going to want to miss it!

Carly is the mom of four who teaches women how budgets can help them gain more financial freedom and lower their stress. She covers whether or not we should be saving, paying off debt, and investing all at the same time or if we should be prioritizing one over the other. Carly breaks down what a budget is and why it’s important to have one. 

If budgeting seems overwhelming to you, or you don’t even know where to start, Carly speaks on this as well. She talks about how money mindset comes into play with how we approach our finances and what it can look like when you are incentivized differently than your partner.

There’s a lot of numbers talk in this episode, but don’t let that overwhelm you because Carly breaks it down. This is definitely an episode you’ll want to listen to with your partner and you might even want to listen to a few parts twice, depending on where you’re at in your financial journey.

Abby shares a personal story on the weight that can come with having a child with special needs. Amy gets vulnerable on what it felt like when she was told her kindergartener was behind in reading. Oftentimes, as women, we take the load of the heavy issues. Today we talk about what our village looks like and how we can lean on them through these tough times.

We know that in moments like this it can feel like you might want to throw in the towel. But remember, you are allowed to have these ups and downs. You’re allowed to have success and the hard days. We hope that you have a village of support where you feel like you can be honest about your relationships, parenting, and the things that are really, really tough.

We hope this episode normalizes that in this season of life with all of the demands it can lead to some moments where you wish you would have acted differently or you wish your partner would have acted differently and that's just the truth of the matter with how much stuff we all have going on.

We hope that you can take something from this episode. Whether it's the strategy of using, “the story I’m telling myself is…” as a way to start tough conversations and help your partner understand you better. Or maybe it is in the idea of helping yourself and your partner feel more visible and valued by giving really specific compliments.

Whatever you need today, we hope you are able to take it with you.

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, and frankly, entertained.

Kate guides us through different exercises including how to surrender to our anxious thoughts and focus our attention on what we do want to be thinking about instead. She encourages us to write down what a good mother means to us and to make sure we are including ourselves on that list. Even things like deep breathing are exercises that can help get us out of that  worrisome headspace and back to where our feet are planted.

So many of us can relate to the struggle we have when we are able to watch our partners participate in a mindless, relaxing activity for a few hours at a time when we ourselves simply cannot. Kate goes into details about how society puts this pressure on moms to constantly be productive and suggests that we take a page right out of our partner's playbook by allowing ourselves to participate in activities that make us feel creative. 

If you worry that your anxious tendencies are going to be passed on to your children, listen in. Kate explains that those of us who are more prone to anxiety can be caused by many factors including childhood trauma, abusive romantic relationships, or we may just be genetically more prone to worry.

Dr. Miriam is a clinical psychologist, writer, speaker, and friendship expert who has spent a decade researching the science of friendship and social connection. She shares with us her expertise on how we can build new friendships as adults and how we can stay connected to our friends once we become parents.

If your friendships have taken a back burner since you became an adult, this episode will strike a cord. Dr. Miriam goes into simple techniques we can use to make sure there is a match between the type of support that’s being given from our friends and the type that we are really looking for.

She helps us navigate the tough situation of ending long term friendships and identifying when they are no longer serving us. We can only entertain so many friendships at once. Dr. Miriam helps us recognize when it's time to let friendships go so we can make room for new ones. 

If adult friendships have been a struggle for you, know that you are not alone. We hope this episode helps you get some ideas on how you can better your relationship with your current friends and put yourself out there to make new ones!

One of Amy’s biggest takeaways was that each of her children might need individualized things. Her big reactor needs to be parented differently than his brothers. Continual praise and more time are a coping mechanism that seem to help.

Abby realized that when these types of kids have these big reactions they aren’t trying to cause a challenge. They are just trying to react in a way that their own body needs. They’re more sensitive, more empathetic, and look at the world in their own unique way. 

The thing that we want you to know is that we don’t get it perfect every time. We are learning right alongside you. We are both, everyday, normal moms who aren’t experts. We struggle through this parenting thing as well. And it does get better. Both of our big reactors are around age five now and it has taken us a little longer to learn what parenting techniques work. We are making progress and hope this episode helps you do the same.

We know as business partners that it can be hard to get along all the time. We dive into whether or not we fight a lot and what we appreciate the most about one another. Another relationship several of you had questions on was the ones we have with our spouses. Tune in to hear what we are both currently working on in our marriages.

As many of you know we have both been on health journeys and we share where we are at when it comes to our mental and physical wellbeing. Amy shares details on how she is focusing on her nutrition whereas Abby gets into the nitty gritty on her journey with SSRIs. 

We go into what each of our families do as rituals around the holidays and what our typical morning routines look like. You’ll be surprised to hear that Abby’s changes on a daily basis.

If you have been with us since the beginning of this podcast, we want to thank you for following along. Many of you are wondering if or when a HERself podcast event is in the making? Tune in to this week’s episode to learn more about where we are at with that!

Our expert guest today is attorney Eric Christoffersen, who has been with the law firm Grams & Christoffersen for 13 years and counting. He started as a law student, clerking for Founder, David F. Grams who established the firm nearly 30 years ago. After graduating law school, cum laude from the University of Wisconsin Law School, he became an associate attorney and then later a shareholder. Now with 11+ years of practice experience he is the Managing Shareholder of Grams & Christoffersen, S.C., leading a great team to serve their clients into the future.

We think this episode with Eric is a really important one, and we discuss something that a lot of people will go through in their lifetimes. We feel that thinking about the future is worth having an entire episode on, and we hope you get a lot from this interview with Eric, who was in charge of helping Amy plan for her future.

Today we want to reflect on Episode 146 with Dr. Becky, because Dr. Becky is someone who meets people where they are, and she’s not the type of expert who will shame you by pretending there is a “perfect” way to parent. Rather, she is trying to come alongside you and to help wherever you are. 

Implementing some of the things that we talk about in this episode can make such a difference in helping you and your kids to get through the tougher times, by you providing support but not solving every problem for them. It might not show up at that very moment, but little by little you’ll start to see that all these hard conversations will lead to some really amazing transformations! 

Again, we would be so grateful if you could text, email, and share this episode so that we can bring you even more content weekly. As always, we want to hear your biggest takeaways and how this has helped you, so please tag us at @herselfpodcast! 

Feeling burnt out? Longing for more time and energy for yourself? Don’t know where to start? We’ve been there. Let us help you navigate this busy season while making yourself a priority. Go to https://view.flodesk.com/pages/6324c8a1821b5d8e1a7d5466 and be the first to know when the doors open on our new self-care course!

Dr. Becky meets parents where they are at, and it’s so refreshing to get her insight on parenting, because a lot of these conversations are often happening behind closed doors. Today’s episode is a reminder that wherever we are in motherhood, we can start over right now by re-evaluating and changing our behaviors. By doing so we’ll not only help our kids, but we’ll start to help ourselves in the process. 

We encourage you to visit Dr. Becky’s website at https://www.goodinside.com/ and check out all the amazing resources that she has available for moms, and if you enjoy this episode, we’d be so honored if you shared it on Instagram, tagging @drbeckyatgoodinside and @herselfpodcast.

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), and ways to approach ending a friendship if the time comes for this to happen. Dr. Marisa also shares her best tips for making new friends, what to say when first engaging with new people, how strong friendships benefit our overall well-being, and so much more. 

We really want to make friendship uncomplicated for you and meet you where you are, because it’s normal to feel nervous about these topics. If friendships are something that you’re working on, like we are, we are proud of you because we recognize that this can be hard! 

If you enjoy what Dr. Marisa shares today, you’ll want to get a copy of her brand new book, Platonic: How the Science of Attachment Can Help You Make--and Keep--Friends, which is available now! As always, we also want to hear your biggest takeaways from this episode, and you can tag us on Instagram, @DrMarisaGFranco and @herselfpodcast.

Dr. Tracy Dalgleish joins the HERself Podcast to talk about in-law dynamics as it relates to children. Yes, this is your time to be a parent and your children are so important to you, but also this is the time where your in-laws can shine as grandparents. There will be a learning curve and some challenges involved, but getting through it together in a way where everyone can be happy is what Tracy D focuses on in this episode. 

If you like what she shares, you’ll want to tune in Episode 94, which is the second part in this two-part series. In it, we go into in-law dynamics as it relates to the adults in the relationship, because we want you to make sure that you can keep the peace while maintaining your boundaries!

Joining me is Sammie Gollup, who is an incredible dietician, to make sure that we have a safe and scientific conversation. With that being said, if hearing about weight gain or weight loss is triggering for you, please sit this episode out and take care of yourself first. In this conversation, we try to be very conscious of the way that we present these topics, but I want you to be aware of your own boundaries and needs, as always. 

Today, we want to have a really honest talk about weight gain and how it can impact a person mentally, and then give you the tools that can help you work through this. This episode is meant to be educational through storytelling. In it, I tell my story and Sammie gives some of the science behind it and background from her experience working with many patients. It’s going to be really interesting and informative, and we hope you get lots from it! 

We would love it if you shared this episode to get these important messages heard by more women and mothers. When you do, please tag us on Instagram, @anti.diet.mama and @herselfpodcast with your biggest takeaways from this episode!

She also talks about her powerful “sugar jar” concept, (which we love!) and how it will allow you to start checking in with yourself.

Real relationships take time to nurture and the process can’t be rushed, but we want you to be open to the idea of making new friends. During this season of life, there are times that you will need those people close to that you can lean on! 

We’ve been thinking about how we can help our listeners grow their roots, and that’s why we want to invite you to join the HERself Podcast Patreon Community, where we take these conversations deeper in our private Facebook Group. Recently, we talked about mom guilt and where it shows up, and in this community we talk about the shame and secrecy that comes with mom guilt, as well as the wins that we don’t normally celebrate with each other. You can join at one of three different tiers to support us as creators, and be part of an exclusive community of over 100 women who are also navigating this crazy thing we call life, at https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcast.

Motherhood is a journey, and we realize that mom guilt shows up differently in all of us. We think that a lot of people just accept their mom guilt in a way that really holds them back, and we feel that your goal shouldn’t be focused on being selfless, but rather to demonstrate to your children that you are a healthy person.  We hope this episode provides a nudge for you to dive deeper into these feelings of mom guilt, and as always, we’re here for you every step of the way.

If you enjoy this episode and get something from it, we would love it if you shared it with a friend. This message on mom guilt needs to be shared with as many people as possible, and don’t forget to tag us on Instagram, @herselfpodcast and let us know your biggest takeaways!

In this episode, Haley shares her thoughts on a budget versus financial tracking, what you need to know about credit cards and your credit score, and the tremendous impact that holding regular “money dates” with your partner can have (along with so much more good stuff)!

The big message that we want you to take away from this episode is that you really can start small and build your financial self-esteem over time. Money issues won’t go away on their own, but just by gaining awareness and implementing the strategies that Haley reveals today, you’ll be in a much better position to empower yourself when it comes to your finances.

We were so glad that Emily came back to talk about this topic, because the decisions we must make do get trickier as our kids get older. This is the stage that we are entering right now with our little ones, and we know that many of you are in the same season or getting close to it, so we hope you find the information that Emily shares valuable to you. To hear more great advice from her, we encourage you to check Episode 98, the last time she was here to chat with us!

We want to thank the guys for their vulnerability and openness in sharing what’s behind the curtain of being a dad these days, as they answered some questions that fathers aren’t asked often with some very thoughtful and emotional responses (which makes us love them even more). 

We hope you enjoyed this special mini-series with Colin and Drew, and that it inspires conversations between you and your own spouses about some of the important topics that we just scratched the surface on these past two episodes. As always, we would be so grateful if you shared the episode, and tag us on Instagram, @herselfpodcast, with your biggest takeaways.

In this episode, we look at partnering and how different seasons of partnership exist. We believe that every couple, including the 4 of us, have things to work on, constantly. Every time we bring Colin and Drew on, there's going to be different things to talk about, but the thing we really like about these Bring on the Men episodes is that the 4 of us are always committed to recalibrating and getting back on track. Whatever we are going through, we want to make sure we get back on track, and we want the same for you.

We had so many important things to touch on about partnership that we decided to make this a special 2-part series with the guys, and you’re not going to want to miss next week’s show where we’ll be focusing on parenting!

What is so fascinating is that shame and guilt are words that are often used interchangeably, but there is a subtle difference that we need to be aware of. We’ll dive deep into that difference in this episode, as well as share both of our personal experiences with these feelings, along with self-compassion, perfectionism, humiliation, and embarrassment. 

These feelings don’t only plague motherhood, but other extremely important parts of our lives as well. Shame is part of the human experience, and we really want to bring it into the light so this community can start growing together. We hope that you can learn from us, and maybe give yourself the empathy that you really need much earlier than we have in the past with ourselves.

We also thought it would be fun to have our friend Nina join us to share her thoughts. The 3 of us just did a swimsuit try-on together showing them to our Instagram followers, and she has some awesome insights that we wanted to share with you in this episode. 

Before you listen, we must stress that body image is something that anyone can struggle with, and there is space for women of all shapes and sizes to take part in this discussion. If body image is something that you struggle with hearing about, or you find it to be triggering, give yourself permission to sit this episode out. While we are presenting it in a way that we believe to be safe, we want to add this warning so that you can take care of yourself, as always.

Michelle Dempsey is a Certified Divorce and Co-Parenting Specialist and host of the podcast, Moms Moving On, which is also the title of her brand new book (that happens to be launching tomorrow, March 15th, 2022, if you’re listening to this episode in real-time)! Michelle is the go-to divorce guru on Instagram, and today she reveals tangible and actionable advice for women who are thinking of separating, are in the midst of the process, or are a friend who is supporting someone going through divorce right now. 

As women, we all have to get comfortable in setting boundaries and comfortable with the idea that we’re going to have people mad at us at times, but as Michelle says, this process doesn’t have to be intimidating. We as women always find a way to make it work, and in the end, divorce can be the best thing for not only you and your spouse, but for your children as well.

With this podcast we want to get women one step further than they are today, and the chapter from Eve’s book that spoke so loudly to us was about something that women in our community often struggle with. So many of them are getting swallowed up by mothering, being a partner, and working, which leaves little time to be who they are outside of these roles. This is something that we have both experienced, so we wholeheartedly understand. 

In today’s episode, we’ll be encouraging you to ask yourself the tough questions. What do you enjoy outside of motherhood? What do you do for fun, and what are the hobbies that light you up? These are questions that some women simply can’t answer, because being so entrenched in their roles, they’ve put themselves on the back burner. 

We’re hoping to give you a gentle nudge in the right direction here, one that allows you to have interests and to care about things outside of your home and work life. This episode focuses on all parts of you, making sure that you’re giving yourself the time and energy to invest in the relationships that really matter. Ultimately, it’s about making sure that you feel more like YOU by doing the things that help you feel that way!

We see a lot of Karrie on Instagram where she has a large following, but we’re so excited to dive into her behind-the-scenes here so that we can all get to know her a bit better and hear more about her life with 4 precious kiddos and her husband. We’ll cover some of the topics that she’s so well known for as a postpartum RN with nearly a decade of experience caring for moms and babies, and more recently she furthered her credentials and became a certified lactation consultant as well. 

If you’re tired of the curated Instagram feeds and images on television that show mothers who seem to be in total control raising their children 100 percent of the time, you’ll find this conversation refreshing because Karrie is not only an expert on these subjects, but she is real about her own journey in motherhood.

We hope you enjoy listening to this episode with Karrie as much as we did in recording it, and that it gives you permission to always be in a state of learning.

Stephi Wagner is the Founder of The Mother Wound Project, which is fueled by the power of lived experience. Every member of the MWP Team not only has the relevant training and experience in fields such as psychotherapy, psychology and program management but also personal experience with and demonstrated recovery from the mother wound themselves.

In this episode, Stephi reveals how becoming aware of and addressing the mother wound is really all about reclaiming ourselves and breaking the silence, isolation, and often generation cycles that exist with the mother wound. She provides the first steps to take and helpful resources to start healing the mother wound right now.

If you’re exhausted right now, know that we’re right there with you, but that you don’t have to stay stuck in the suck! Embracing the challenges, surviving, and finding those little pockets of light where we can is going to help us all feel better through this time.

Remember that our paths in life for a large part have been chosen for us, and time will keep moving on regardless of what is happening, but we’ve got to figure out how to make the most of it for ourselves, our families, and each and every person we meet!

What Laura and Megan are doing in the world right now is so needed, because we all know how difficult it can be for mothers to find time, especially in a global pandemic, to take care of themselves. In this episode, they share the importance of prioritizing self-care for not only yourself as a mother, but for your entire family, and what you can do to begin using movement and exercise without the mom guilt that often comes with it. Laura and Megan reveal what they each do to overcome the common pitfalls that mothers face, like feeling the need to wear all of the hats and carrying the invisible load, while falling short in different areas of daily life, and so much more.

This conversation provides real, actionable advice from real mommas, along with so many tools you can start using to improve your mental (and overall) health today!

The pressure around drinking is still relevant for many women in our community. For some it’s not an issue where others feel the heaviness of saying ‘yes’ out of obligation even though their gut is saying “no”. 

In this episode with Michelle Smith from @recoveryisthenewblack, we dive into all things mommy wine culture and how to be a better friend or stand up for yourself. Michelle is an author, educator and engaging TEDx speaker and has used her personal experience and work as a substance abuse counselor to support people on their journey to recovery. 

This is a judgment free episode. Listen with an open mind and an open heart on where you can make small changes in your life to do and feel your best.

If you have read her incredible book To Have and To Hold: Motherhood, Marriage, and the Modern Dilemma...you know how powerful her words are. It is both freeing and validating for women in the throes of one of life’s biggest transitions: motherhood.

Special takeaways: 

• Resentment for our partners is generally formed around unrealistic expectations 
• The goal of being a “good enough” mother
• The inequities between men and women when it comes to parenting are real
• Giving voice around fear, depletion, longing and hunger will win over passive aggressive communication every time
• A man’s ability to accept influence from their partner is directly related to marital stability
• Seeking professional therapy should be normalized and we could all benefit from it

And this week we learned something new from @estherperelofficial and it sparked the idea for this podcast. It’s easy to fall into seeing the world only through your own lens but understanding the full picture is beneficial for everyone. And it starts with replacing the old  “how was your day” questions with new and improved questions that we list out in the episode. The awareness of the story behind the story can go a long way at creating successful relationships.

In some chapters of life, partnership takes a little bit of a back seat. The ebbs and flows are part of life but if it’s put on the back burner for too long, that’s where couples can find themselves feeling lost. Prioritizing your own needs, prioritizing your partner’s needs, taking on more of the work when you can and ensuring that your partner is doing the same when you are feeling overwhelmed… these are great places to start.

Today we bring in our own experience, what has worked for a few of our close friends, and what definitely didn’t work to give you some ideas if you’re feeling a bit resentful, unsatisfied, or keep stubbing your toes when it comes to prioritizing your relationship.

Like an iceberg, there is much more below the surface. In order to feel better as mothers, we need to get to the root of the issue instead of just focusing on the outward action.

In this week’s episode, we break down where mom rage comes from and what we can do as parents to prevent it in the first place. You got this mama, you deserve to feel like yourself once again.

We covered SO many important topics in this interview. We spent the first half of the podcast talking about body image- diving into specifics about why many women struggle with this and what you can do to start improving yours. Before focusing on perinatal mental health- Dr. Ream specialized in helping people with eating disorders- so she brought a ton of valuable insight into the conversation. We also cover miscarriage- something that SO many women go through, but a topic that isn't talked about often. Lastly, we finish up with the overwhelm of motherhood and what you can do about it. 

Hope you enjoy this episode- it was an incredible and important conversation.

Just like in most episodes, we don't have the answers for you. But we do have some prompts that you can think about- including checking in with your OWN values to make sure your life feels in alignment. 

There is also some BIG news in this one- so you're not going to want to miss it.

This continues to be a challenging time for women- in a lot of ways. So many of us are feeling stretched thin and without our normal support nets.

Today, we focus on how to recognize your yellow flags and reactions in order to change course OR figure out what you need more or less of.

Oftentimes- you aren't an angry partner or an impatient mother- you are just not getting the support or care that YOU need to function your best.

We're right there with you and honored to bring this important conversation to light today.

Sex and intimacy are a big part of relationships, but this information can feel underserved for those in long-term relationships. Sometimes as couples, we can let this important piece fall to the wayside as we try to do ALL the things (motherhood, working, keeping up with the house, trying to make sure everyone is fed, etc. etc.).

Today, Vanessa helps remind us why sex is important. Not just for your partner- but for YOU. She dives into questions about female sex drive, how to make sure intimacy doesn't just feel like another demand, and how to start to reconnect to this part of your relationship.

In this week's episode we talk about comparison in parenting, possessions, body composition/body image, and relationships.

Let's be real: we live in a swipe up world that can leave us always lusting over what we need to buy next. We scroll past diets and workouts galore all promising to shrink our bodies. We hear exactly how we're supposed to respond to tantrums and shame ourselves for how we raised our voices earlier. AND we read captions of couples that are only showing the best side of their relationships.

It is no wonder that many of us struggle with comparison. But in today's episode we talk about what we can do to minimize focusing on other people's lives and really sink into living the one that feels the best for you. Hope you enjoy it!

We covered it all. From transitioning to 3 kids, to becoming pregnant and getting married during college, to how her and her husband changed the trajectory of their financial lives by learning to budget.

We loved our chat with Erin. One of our favorite parts about her is that in a sea of people trying to keep up with the Joneses, she has decided to stay in her own lane by sharing budgeting, DIY, and affordable finds. Hope you enjoy this episode!

Today on the podcast, we talk about Type A and Type B personalities. Since Abby identifies and operates in alignment with type A personalities and Amy identifies and operates in alignment with type B personalities...and both are married to the opposite of their own, we had A LOT to talk about.

We hope you leave this conversation understanding your people just a little bit better. Afterall, we all feel the best if we're able to be ourselves and each personality type has some pretty big benefits!
