Motherhood

Diana Spalding - Motherly - Today I welcome Diana Spalding to the podcast. Diana is a midwife, the Digital Education Editor at Motherly, and the author of the newly released book, hot off the presses this week, The Motherly Guide to Becoming Mama: Redefining the Pregnancy, Birth, and Postpartum Journey. THIS is the resource I wish I had when I was trying to get pregnant, was pregnant and after I had my babies. According to Motherly's 2019 State of Motherhood survey, 85% of mothers believe our society does not do a good job of supporting them. Motherly asked thousands of women in their community what they needed in a pregnancy and birth book and also consulted with dozens of experts - Ob-gyns, Fertility Specialists, Pediatricians, Doulas, Lactation Consultants, and more. This collective wisdom shaped The Motherly Guide to Becoming Mama. Today I speak with Diana Spalding about how motherhood leads you to super powers you never knew you had. We dive into the power of making mistakes and creating boundaries to be a better mom. We talk about coming to motherhood with love, not fear, and of course we dive into the book. And we check in with Diana about pregnancy during the pandemic and she offers inspirational words for pregnant women and moms to take care of their physical and mental well-being during this time. Motherly is redefining the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey and I hope today's podcast and the book provide you with the support and strength you need whatever stage you are at - before, during or after pregnancy.

Om Podcasten

Let's Figure It Out is an inspirational place where you can hear the stories of every day people taking a leap. From the outside it might look like my guests achieved success easily overnight. But that's not the case. I'm going to take you behind the scenes so you can hear the real story and gain inspiration and encouragement, whether you're looking to switch jobs, change careers, feel supported as an entrepreneur, go on an adventure, or gain a new perspective to move your life forward. Let's Figure It Out features relaxed, soulful, brave conversations and also shorter podcasts I like to call…wait for it… "Shorts"…with me popping in solo to provide quick tips along the way. This podcast is in no way going to give you a roadmap for success. The closest you will get, is hearing us talk about how the secret to figuring out something is letting go, releasing and knowing the answers will come to you, even if you have a few missteps along the way. It's when we loosen the grip and have some fun that the struggle diminishes and the answers start to flow. My intention is to bring you fun, thoughtful, real conversations with leaders who figured out how to make a life change, and used their story to move themselves forward. This is Let's Figure It Out.
