Summary

A couple of weeks ago, Chappell Roan said something that stuck with me. "My friends with small kids are in hell."

I have a lot of thoughts about it and figured I'd share in this week's podcast episode. How can you find joy in motherhood with obstacles and negative messaging?

I talk about negativity in the online space, some of the many reasons why moms are struggling, how we can support our mama friends, and more. I'd love to hear your thoughts, too!

180: Finding joy in motherhood

Partners:

Check out We Feed Raw! Maisey goes crazy for this! I use it as a topper for her kibble or mix it into her pup loaf. You can try the raw version, the raw dehydrated kibble, and they'll help you customize a plan for your pup. Use FITNESSISTA30 for 30% off your Meal Plan Starter Box here!

The Lifewave X39 patches have been a gamechanger for my energy; the Pilot is obsessed, too! Check them out here. 

Check out my new favorite red light device here, and use the code FITNESSISTA for a huge discount. 

I've been using Nutrisense on and off for a couple of years now. I love being able to see how my blood sugar responds to my diet and habits, and run experiments. You can try out Nutrisense here and use GINA50 for $50 off.

If any of my fellow health professional friends are looking for another way to help their clients, I highly recommend IHP. You can also use this information to heal yourself and then go one to heal others, which I think is a beautiful mission. You can absolutely join if you don't currently work in the health or fitness industry; many IHPs don't begin on this path. They're friends who are passionate to learn more about health and wellness, and want to share this information with those they love. You can do this as a passion, or start an entirely new career.

You can use my referral link here and the code FITNESSISTA for up to $250 off the Integrative Health Practitioner program. I highly recommend it! You can check out my review IHP Level 1 here and my review of Level 2 here.

0:38.7

for today's solo episode a little bit of my thoughts on motherhood and i would love if you guys would chime in

0:44.4

in the comment section of the show notes for today's post and i would just love to hear your thoughts on this

0:49.9

topic so before we head into that i wanted to tell you guys about we feed raw. So if you've been

0:55.5

reading the blog for a while, you know that I like to make half of Maisie's dog food. So she has

0:59.9

some kibble and then I use a topper that I make myself and it includes a mix of organ meats,

1:05.7

ground meat, sardines, fruits, vegetables. She goes absolutely wild for it. I'll post the recipe and the show

1:14.3

notes for this post. But something I've been doing lately is I have been using We Feed Raw as a

1:20.8

topper by itself or as part of her pup loaf recipe before I would go to the farmer's market and

1:26.8

get the meat for it.

1:28.3

And this just streamlines the entire process.

1:30.6

So the meat is there.

1:32.1
