episode Beyond words - with Monika Varela cover

Description

We are back with Monika Varela, but this time, we are skipping the formal interview and just having a real, honest conversation about communication. Because let’s be real… we all think we are good at communicating, until emotions get involved. In this episode, we dive into the reality of everyday communication - how emotions, misunderstandings, and the way we listen can completely shape our conversations. We also touch on ideas from Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg and The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman - but in a very real life, practical way. This episode is not about being perfect at communication, it’s about being honest about how hard it actually is. If you have ever said something you didn’t mean, felt misunderstood, or struggled to express yourself clearly… this conversation is for you. Let us know in the comments: What is the hardest part of communication for you? 📍Find Monika: https://monikavarela.com https://www.instagram.com/monikavarela.psico 💬 We’d love to hear your stories too - comment below or send us a DM! 🔔 Don’t forget to subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@UnfilteredMumiverse?sub_confirmation=1 and hit the bell so you never miss an episode. 📲 Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/unfilteredmumiverse https://www.tiktok.com/@unfilteredmums https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578247024900 https://open.spotify.com/show/0b23Y6fG8wQhmNTvsBsIRB https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/we-are-mumiverse/id1829937566?i=1000719774947

episode Birth truth - with Dr. Jennifer Lincoln artwork

Birth truth - with Dr. Jennifer Lincoln

In this episode, we sit down with OB-GYN, lactation consultant, educator, and author of The Birth Book, Dr. Jennifer Lincoln, for an honest conversation about pregnancy, labor, and the realities of giving birth. We discuss common misconceptions about birth, informed consent, patient advocacy, pain management options, C-sections, and the importance of making decisions based on evidence rather than fear or social media myths. Dr. Lincoln also shares insights from her new book and explains what expecting parents should know, but are often not told. Whether you're pregnant, planning a family, supporting a loved one through birth, or simply curious about the realities of modern maternity care, this episode offers practical, evidence-based information to help you feel more informed and empowered. 📍 Find Dr. Lincoln: https://www.instagram.com/drjenniferlincoln https://www.drjenniferlincoln.com https://open.spotify.com/show/5mvn906ssqMZhWS2pMHdVY?si=f4b4153d98224d20 https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/785889/the-birth-book-by-dr-jennifer-lincoln 💬 We’d love to hear your stories too - comment below or send us a DM! 🔔 Don’t forget to subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@UnfilteredMumiverse?sub_confirmation=1 and hit the bell so you never miss an episode. 📲 Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/unfilteredmumiverse https://www.tiktok.com/@unfilteredmums https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578247024900 https://open.spotify.com/show/0b23Y6fG8wQhmNTvsBsIRB https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/we-are-mumiverse/id1829937566?i=1000719774947

Motherhood Unfiltered - with Carrie Sobkowich

What happens when we stop sugarcoating motherhood and start talking about it as it really is? In this episode, we sit down with Carrie Sobkowich, first-time mom, digital creator, and host of Motherhood is Literally Fcked*, for an honest conversation about the realities of motherhood that often get left out of the highlight reel. We talk about pregnancy, postpartum, mental load, mom guilt, judgment from others, losing and rediscovering yourself after becoming a parent, and why more women are choosing to share their experiences without filters or perfection. This is a raw, relatable, and refreshing conversation for anyone who has ever felt that motherhood looks very different behind the scenes than it does on social media. 📍 Find Carrie: https://www.instagram.com/milf_podcast_ https://open.spotify.com/show/0lLdIiPLxstaxnTFfCIM2A?si=995bf26cc364437d 💬 We’d love to hear your stories too - comment below or send us a DM! 🔔 Don’t forget to subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@UnfilteredMumiverse?sub_confirmation=1 and hit the bell so you never miss an episode. 📲 Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/unfilteredmumiverse https://www.tiktok.com/@unfilteredmums https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578247024900 https://open.spotify.com/show/0b23Y6fG8wQhmNTvsBsIRB https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/we-are-mumiverse/id1829937566?i=1000719774947

Doula Birth Support - with Clementine

In this episode, we are joined by Clementine, a doula, yoga teacher, and founder of Mama Magia BCN, a space dedicated to supporting women through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum in a deeply holistic and nurturing way. We talk about what being a doula actually means, how doulas support mothers emotionally and physically throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period, and why so many women today feel like they are missing the village and support they truly need. Clementine shares her own journey into this work, how Mama Magia BCN was born, and the importance of bringing intention, rituals, and connection back into motherhood. We also explore practices like Blessing Way ceremonies, placenta encapsulation, pregnancy yoga, and birth story integration, creating safe spaces for mothers to process and heal after birth. We also have an honest conversation about the realities of modern motherhood, the things new mums struggle with that nobody talks about, and how women can feel more supported during one of the biggest transitions of their lives. A really open, grounding, and insightful conversation for anyone expecting a baby, navigating postpartum, or simply curious about holistic motherhood support. 📍Find Clementine & Mama Magia BCN: https://mamamagia-bcn.com https://www.instagram.com/mamamagiabcn 💬 We’d love to hear your stories too - comment below or send us a DM! 📲 Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/unfilteredmumiverse https://www.tiktok.com/@unfilteredmums https://www.facebook.com/profile.php? id=61578247024900https://open.spotify.com/show/0b23Y6fG8wQhmNTvsBsIRB https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/we-are-mumiverse/id1829937566?i=1000719774947

episode Let's talk lactation- with Katie James artwork

Let's talk lactation- with Katie James

In this episode, we are joined by Katie James, an experienced midwife and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant with over 20 years of supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and lactation. We talk about what breastfeeding is really like in the early days, especially for first time mums. From wondering if there is enough milk, to dealing with pain, cracked nipples, or a baby struggling to latch, Katie reassures us on what is normal and when to seek support. We also touch on things like pumping early on, nipple shields, and what to do when feeding doesn’t go as planned. We get into some of the common advice mums hear, like being careful about what you eat while breastfeeding, and whether certain foods actually make a difference. There is also an honest conversation about feeding in public, returning to work, and finding what works for you without feeling judged. A really open and down to earth conversation for anyone expecting a baby or already navigating life with one. 📍Find Katie https://www.katiejames.site https://www.instagram.com/katiejameslactation https://www.katiejames.site/assets-page 💬 We’d love to hear your stories too - comment below or send us a DM! 🔔 Don’t forget to subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@UnfilteredMumiverse?sub_confirmation=1 and hit the bell so you never miss an episode. 📲 Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/unfilteredmumiverse https://www.tiktok.com/@unfilteredmums https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578247024900 https://open.spotify.com/show/0b23Y6fG8wQhmNTvsBsIRB https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/we-are-mumiverse/id1829937566?i=1000719774947
