The powerful truth that movement—in both body and soul—is often the medicine anxiety longs for. Whether it’s a brisk walk or a brave step toward the unknown, action gives our minds and hearts a place to land when fear takes over. Drawing from neuroscience, personal stories, and soul-deep reflection, this episode is an invitation to get unstuck—not by waiting for the anxiety to leave, but by moving through it anyway. Because sometimes the most healing thing we can do is…anything.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the tender, often unspoken space between motherhood and becoming — that quiet nudge inside you that whispers, “There’s still more for me.” Inspired by powerful words from one of my favorite books, this conversation is for the new mama who feels the ache for change, the longing for something new, and the quiet hope that it’s not too late to follow her dreams.

We talk about what it means to stop waiting for the fear to go away and instead begin moving forward with it. Because sometimes the only way to honor the life you want is to carry your grief, doubt, and uncertainty with you — not as baggage, but as companions for your transformation. This episode is about recognizing that becoming a mother doesn’t mean the end of your dreams. You are still allowed to want things. You are still allowed to grow. And you are still allowed to become her.

You don’t need a big reveal or a ten-step plan to get started. What you need is a softer question and the space to hear your own voice again. Together, we’ll explore what it means to listen for that voice, to believe in the future you crave, and to take small but powerful steps toward it. Because the truth is, practice doesn’t make perfect — it makes power. And the patterns of the life you want begin with the choices you make today.

This isn’t a call to hustle. It’s an invitation to awaken. You haven’t missed your moment — it’s been waiting for you all along.

Welcome to another cozy chat on The Waves of Joy— where we keep it real, raw, and a little bit glam. In this episode, we're diving into the beautifully chaotic fourth trimester. We’re talking baby blues (and knowing when it’s more), the supplements that might help, and yes — even a little Botox self-care without the mom guilt.

We cover the hot-button topic of co-sleeping vs. the Snoo, and how this mama is blending the two to survive sleep deprivation. Plus: feeding on demand, bottle feeding one meal a day, and the never-ending question — “Is she gaining enough weight?” (Thank you, Hatch scale)

Let’s also get into the nitty gritty: swaddling, burping, tiny razor-sharp fingernails, and whether it’s normal to dread the first postpartum shower.

And because moms deserve comfort too, we’re talking about those mini sanity-savers: daily walks, a little yoga, and the magical neck relief from the Achedaway heated scraper (yes, please).

You’re not alone in the swirl. Let’s laugh, vent, and feel seen together.
