0:00.0	You're listening to the Decluttered Mom podcast. A podcast built specifically for busy moms by a busy mom. I'm your host, Diana Renee. And in 2017, I had my second daughter and it felt like I was literally drowning in my home.
0:22.8	Okay, not literally.
0:24.0	But I felt like I couldn't breathe with all of the stuff surrounding me.
0:29.2	Over the next 10 months, I got rid of approximately 70% of our household belongings,
0:35.5	and I have never looked back. I kind of feel like I hacked the mom
0:40.0	system and I'm here to share all the tips, tricks, and encouragement. Let's listen to today's show.
0:50.2	Hello and welcome to this episode of the Decluttered Mom podcast. Today we have a guest and I know we don't normally do many guests on this podcast, but I am really excited about this because it is Mallory Whitmore and she is a friend of mine. We met on Instagram many years ago and have become friends. She is like the
1:14.1	sweetest person ever when my oldest was first diagnosed with celiac. She actually sent me a care
1:21.1	package of all of these gluten-free foods from Aldi because we don't have Aldi here in
1:26.3	Colorado. And she knew that my daughter was a
1:29.1	Swifty and even sent her all of these like posters that she got from the heiress to her. And she,
1:35.4	that's just, that just explains who Mallory is. She is someone who wants to help people who is
1:41.6	kind and just has the sweetest heart. And so I'm excited to have her on
1:46.7	because you get to hear from her. And she is an expert in formula feeding. And she has a book
1:52.9	coming out at the end of the month. And I think that it's going to be a huge, valuable resource.
2:00.1	I see it being kind of the book about formula feeding for decades to come.
2:06.1	And so I'm excited to share this conversation with you.
2:09.9	Let's jump right in.
2:11.7	All right.
2:12.2	I am here with my friend Mallory Whitmore, and she has a new book coming out that even though I am not going to have a baby,
2:21.5	and I'm good with that. I have excited. I purchased a bunch of copies to give to my pediatrician's
2:27.7	office. It is all about taking the shame out of formula feeding. Welcome to the podcast, Mallory. Thank you so much for
