51: The Unfiltered Parenting Conversation You NEED to Hear on Potty Training, Parenting, and More with Jamie Glowacki

In today's episode, I got to sit down and have an extended conversation with Jamie Glowacki- the Mary Poppins of parenting and potty training! Go ahead and save this episode because you're going to want to come back to this again and again. Today we're talking about how social media impacts our parenting, potty training, parenting hot takes, and so much more. Before our conversation, I gathered a handful of questions from my community on Instagram and I brought them up in our conversation so Jamie could give us her perspective. Not only did she answer in the question in thorough detail, but she also gave us a bunch of examples and tools to help us to move forward confidently in our parenting. This is the parenting advice and encouragement every parent needs to hear. I've listened to this many times as it went through editing and every time I listen, I learn something new! I cannot say enough about this episode and I know you're going to love it so go listen and be sure to share it with your spouse and your mom friends!

50: 6 Things I Wish I Would've Known About a Failed Embryo Transfer Before Having One

In February of this year, my husband and I experienced a failed embryo transfer and it was absolutely devastating. We didn't know what to do, what to grieve, or how to move forward with our protocol. Now that we are a few months out from this experience, I can confidently say that we've learned a lot, grieved a lot, cried a lot, and grown a lot. It's one of the hardest things we've ever been through and unfortunately, there aren't a lot of resources or support out there to help those who go through this which is a big reason why I wanted to bring this conversation to the podcast. In today's episode we're going to be talking about six things I wish we would've known before having a failed transfer in hopes to make others feel less alone. We'll also talk about how you can cope through this or support someone going through it. Grab some tissues and meet me on the couch- it's time to get messy.

48: Living a Non-Toxic Lifestyle | My Journey Toward a Cleaner Home & Healthier Motherhood

Welcome back to the Messy Motherhood Podcast! In today's episode we are talking about my journey to living a non-toxic lifestyle. This wasn't something that Alex and I did growing up and it wasn't something we really knew anything about until we were diagnosed with unexplained infertility in 2018. I take you through the journey of us living more intentionally and why this feels so important for us. This wasn't a one and done kind of deal that just happened over night and I wanted to walk you through what this looks like in a sustainable and affordable manner. We talk about it ALL! I even take you step by step through the non-toxic products I use head to toe and give you a list of my favorite non-toxic brands to help you get started.
