Through storytelling and shared experience, we weave wisdom on pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and breastfeeding into the heart of motherhood.

this is why your baby won’t sleep

PS. Babies learn to sleep the same way they learn everything else.  Through relationships. Through watching you wind down.Through shared rhythm.Through a home that ebbs and flows with natural light, evening slowness, and nervous system safety. Sleep isn’t trained into them. It’s modeled. This season’s finale is about being the grown woman in the room. Putting on your big girl pants — not in a harsh way, but in a regulated way. Not rigid. Not frantic. Not outsourcing your intuition to an app, a tracker, or a schedule that overrides what you’re seeing in front of you. When you are steady, your baby borrows that steadiness. And over time, that steadiness becomes sleep. Thanks for listening to this season!

episode beyond the tie: tongue ties and transformation artwork

beyond the tie: tongue ties and transformation

In this episode, we consider the connection between tongue ties and maternal rigidity. We explore the idea that tension shows up in more places than we think. In our nervous systems, in feeding dynamics, and sometimes even in tissue. While tongue ties are anatomical and real, we discuss how breastfeeding struggles are often layered: body, baby, birth, and the emotional resistance to being changed by motherhood.

episode the victim triangle in motherhood artwork

the victim triangle in motherhood

In this episode, we explore the victim triangle and how it shows up in motherhood. Sometimes, without realizing it, we place our children in the role of “the problem.” They’re too sensitive. Too wild. Too anxious. Too behind. Too much. And in doing so, we unintentionally step into a dynamic where the issue lives inside them rather than examining the environment, the expectations, or our own patterns. Our children are not design flaws to fix. They are mirrors, messengers, and developing humans responding to the ecosystems we help create. If you’ve ever felt stuck in cycles of frustration, this conversation invites you to gently turn the focus inward. Not to criticize yourself, but to remember where your agency lives.

episode aging gracefully artwork

aging gracefully

In this episode, we talk about aging. Not as something to fight, but something to step into. Learn how we picture ourselves aging and why so many of us have been taught to resist what is actually natural and inevitable. Instead of chasing youth, what would it look like to lean into age? To welcome the steadiness, the clarity, the boundaries, the deeper self-trust that often comes with it?

episode crowdsourcing versus resourcing artwork

crowdsourcing versus resourcing

When something comes up in motherhood, where do you turn first? The group chat? Social media? A poll of opinions? In this episode, we talk about the difference between crowdsourcing our motherhood and resourcing ourselves. We explore how constantly seeking outside input can slowly erode a mother’s confidence and how easy it is to disconnect from our own intuition when every decision is filtered through the noise of the internet.  Follow us on Instagram: @theloveofbreastfeeding [https://instagram.com/fortheloveofbreastfeeding] & @taylorricketts_ [https://instagram.com/taylorricketts_] Video editing by @crownedonevisuals [https://instagram.com/crownedonevisuals] Sponsor: Sauna Space Red Light Therapy → 10% Off Your Sauna Space [https://sauna.space/theloveofbreastfeeding] Dynamic Infant Movement [http://www.theloveofbreastfeeding.com/offers/%20RLjhVyEL?coupon_code=TAYLORDIM] | Grounded Mother [http://www.theloveofbreastfeeding.com/offers/%20oRodsNB8?coupon_code=TAYLORR] | Book Lactation Appointment [https://stan.store/taylorricketts] Subscribe, share, leave a review, connect with us!

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
