What would you do in this confusing situation?

2nd Trimester Abortion with a WANTED pregnancy with 
Hey Shayla Podcast | Ep: 048
Guest: Emily Richter @emilykrichter

Emily is a relentless advocate for comprehensive reproductive rights, and has testified in support of this cause to local and state government in her home state of Minnesota.
She also shares her story on @fitfoodiefinds (her day job).

Emily is a mama who has experienced a live birth (with her son, Bode), a TMFR or terminating for medical reasons (with her first baby at 20 weeks after a neural tube defect diagnosis), and 2 first trimester miscarriages -- given these various roads she's been on in motherhood, she is  a strong advocate for comprehensive reproductive rights (they saved her life), and support for birthing bodies everywhere -- from prenatal care to postpartum support.

There are many strong feelings around abortion. But no matter where you stand, I wanted to share this story from a fellow Minnesotan of her 2nd trimester abortion.

Working mom's have struggles that stay at home mom's don't, and visa versa.  I know the working from home narrative way too well and wanted to talk to Morgan, a working mom about how to thrive as well as some of the struggles!

Morgan is the co-founder of construction2style, alongside her husband Jamie.

Feel like you're ignoring your kids if you're not playing with them?

Permission to STOP PLAYING with your kids. Observe, and let them learn with Nature Play Facilitator Ade Hoffman 
Hey Shayla Podcast | Ep: 046
Guest: Ade Hoffman, Nature Play Facilitator & Early Childhood Consultant @natureplayallday on Instagram

Has there ever been a time where you don't want to play "puppy" for the 100th time? Ever wonder how people get all the house things done AND play with their kids? Ade is here to challenge that thought. Instead of initiating all of your child play, she encourages observing them,  let them be bored and allow them to tap into their creative child play.  Because as much as we want to believe differently, they learn a lot through play!

Ade Hofmann left over a decade of traditional teaching experience behind when she traded fluorescent lights for sunshine.
 For the last six years, she has continued to rewrite the narrative of what early childhood looks and feels like.
Her philosophy for early childhood education is that living is learning and that play is an essential right to for all!

Toddlers can be a HANDFUL, it seems suddenly when they turn 2 they're having a ton of meltdowns.  I was feeling this way until I started reading (listening to) the book "How to talk so little kids listen" and it changed the way I parent and I'm not kidding.
I ENJOY her so much more because I learned how to validate her feelings, and work WITH her instead of against her. She is also happier and calmer now. I have the authors of the book on to discuss some of the tecniquices they lay out in the book. I cannot recommend it enough!

Screentime is such a touchy subject!  We're already guilty for letting our kids watch it, do we really want to know how bad it is? Is it okay to use it as a tool so I can get something done? Is one device better than the other? Are there different show qualities? IS SCREEN TIME BAD?!
If you've wondered these things, this is a judgement free episode about screen time.

Andy is a natural podiatrist (someone who treats the feet and their ailments). He practices in a way that helps people reclaim their natural foot function rather than relying upon manual treatment, orthotics and supportive shoes.  In this episode we talk about our children's feet with real tangible ways to set them up to have less pain and better function in adulthood.

Following your instincts in a society that doesn't support it
Hey Shayla Podcast | Ep: 035

Guest: Jesse Truelove @movewithtruelove

Sometimes the stress of parenting comes from the information that is being handed to us VS what our gut is telling us to do. Jesse Truelove (yes that’s her real name) chats with us about her parenting styles of bedsharing, no bedtimes, and double c-section mama. Her and her husband (a stay at home Dad) do what works for them and don't worry about what anyone else has to say.
AND she’ll be your biggest cheerleader if you do it the Exact. opposite. Way.

I hope this episode empowers you to find your way in parenthood.

What type of outdoor play is most crucial for children? OT and Author of Balanced and Barefoot
Hey Shayla Podcast | Ep: 034
Guest:Author of Balanced and Barefoot Angela Hanscom OT

Thank you for listening to the Hey Shayla podcast!  Here, we love to learn new things and decide what works for us and our family.. We're the moms that support instead of judge and know there are many ways to do something right.  I'd love to connect on Instagram @heyshayla

I read (listened to) balanced and barefoot this summer and LOVED everything that it said. It encouraged us to get outside more, to let my daughter take the lead and to make sure she was moving in all sorts of ways to learn and understand her body more!
I asked the author of Balanced and Barefoot, Angela Hanscom, to be on my podcast and was even more blown away with the information she gives in this podcast!

Give yourself some distance to let them play, don’t direct all of their play let them practice using their imagination, and certain movements like spinning and being upside down are crucial for their development!

Angela, is an OT who moved her “office” outside to give her patients the full sensory experience.  She then started an outdoor program Timbernook (that is now  all over the US and New Zealand) where kids get to be and learn outside!

I recorded this episode a week before my due date letting you know I’ll be taking maternity leave! Likely baby is already here, if you want to know, I imagine I’ll be on Instagram (@heyshayla) because honestly that's the easiest place to show up. If you need a sign to slow down and enjoy your babies. THIS IS IT. As entrepreneurs it’s hard to give ourselves this time but I’m so glad I decided to!

I hope that you all have a great start to the summer and I’ll be back soon!

031 - Encapsulating your placenta: What you need to know with a doula and birth educator

Hey Shayla Podcast | Ep: 031
Guest: Doula Chanel @awerkingmama

Thank you for listening to the Hey Shayla podcast!  Here, we love to learn new things and decide what works for us and our family.. We're the moms that support instead of judge and know there are many ways to do something right.  I'd love to connect on Instagram @heyshayla

Many of us never even consider consuming our placenta because… ew, myself included! But after experiencing a wild ride postpartum I had a few people recommend it to me and honestly thought well if it will help me I’m willing to give it a try.

Because there is not a ton of research on it, you really have to make the decision for yourself. But from most of the women I’ve spoken to who have done it, they say it’s been incredibly helpful.

Chanel, (@awerkingmama), is a doula and birth educator and she chatted with me about the potential benefits of consuming your placenta including helping to balance hormones, potential increase in milk supply, and helping with postpartum bleeding! I learned about the different ways to encapsulate and the logistics of what to do with the placenta once it’s out!

030 - Introducing your toddler to a new baby with @mamapsychologists

Hey Shayla Podcast | Ep: 030
Guest: @mamapsychologists

Thank you for listening to the Hey Shayla podcast!  Here, we love to learn new things and decide what works for us and our family.. We're the moms that support instead of judge and know there are many ways to do something right.  I'd love to connect on Instagram @heyshayla

For many of us getting ready to embark on parenthood 2.0, we wonder how our first child will do with the new baby! What books do we need to read? How do we introduce the kids? Is there anything we need to know NOT to do? What if our oldest isn’t interested? Starts hitting? Is there a “right” way to do things? First, I’ll tell you from the podcast the answer is NO, so much is up to us and how we prefer to do it.  They do have some INCREDIBLE tips for how to phrase things when problems arise and some good options for these basic questions. 
MamaPsychologists Caitlin and Chelsea started with child development and now are helping postpartum moms and parents navigate this new life of parenthood with their instagram and courses! So grateful they took the time to chat with me about how to introduce AJ to baby #2 (as by the time this goes live… we’ll be past the due date!)

I wish you all luck and hope this helps!

029 | Keep the Spark Alive After Baby with a Sex Therapist

You’re told not to have sex until at least your 6 week postpartum check up. But a lot of women still can’t fathom having sex that soon.  There are so many things going on, hormones play a huge role, you’re exhausted, you’re touched out… AND you love your partner and want them to feel it.How do you keep the spark alive with out the S.E.X.? It’s a lot simpler than you might think! I had Vanessa and Xander Marin on my podcast, she’s a sex therapist and author and he’s a regular (and hilarious) dude. Their mission is to take the intimidation out of getting intimate and they do an extraordinary job on their social media and through the free material and courses they offer! They chatted with me about postpartum sex and how to communicate with your partner that your  lack of sex drive has nothing to do with them. 

This one might be a good one for both you AND your partner.

Struggling with low supply? With Lactation Counselor Kaia Lacy

Hey Shayla Podcast | Ep: 028
Guest: Kaia Lacy  @lowsupplymom a certified lactation counselor 

Thank you for listening to the Hey Shayla podcast!  Here, we love to learn new things and decide what works for us and our family. We're the moms that support instead of judge and know there are many ways to do something right.  I'd love to connect on Instagram @heyshayla

Low supply can be such a challenging time for so many women. There is so much more attached to it than just having low supply.  I was lucky to have, Kaia, a certified lactation counselor, on to talk about her journey with low supply, specifically insufficient glandular tissue for her. She defines the different kinds of low supply and some solutions to increase supply (if possible). She discusses the personal and mental aspects of having a low supply and then what the options are, HINT: it’s not just “try harder” or formula fed.

Processing & Identifying Birth Trauma With @TheBirthTrauma_mama

Hey Shayla Podcast | Ep: 027

Guest: Kayleigh Summers a Therapist and Birth Trauma Advocate  @thebirthtrauma_mama
Resources: Postpartum Support International

Thank you for listening to the Hey Shayla podcast!  Here, we love to learn new things and decide what works for us and our family. We're the moms that support instead of judge and know there are many ways to do something right.  I'd love to connect on Instagram @heyshayla

Did your "ideal birth plan" and what actually happen not quite line up?  Many women come out of labor a little shook and possibly traumatized, but as long as baby and mama are healthy there shouldn't be trauma right? Wrong. Only you get to decide that, and often times it's not even up to you but instead how your brain processes the events. I interviewed Kayleigh Summers (@thebirthtrauma_mama) a therapist and birth trauma survivor. Her instagram account does an incredible job of validating so many different kinds of birth trauma and being a resource for women who are processing a birth trauma.

I’m so grateful for her openness to share and help others!

026 - Potty Training Update (after a month)

We've been doing Elimination Communication since our daughter was 6 months old. And even though we don't catch EVERYTHING, we've enjoyed it. I recently had Andrea Olson (@godiaperfree) on my podcast (Episode 023) and told her our daughter was doing well but still in diapers at 21 months. She told me to pull the diaper and let it roll! Well, we're a month in and we're just starting to get the hang of it!  I wanted to share what has helped me and the problems that we had. I hope you find this helpful! And if you want to go with Andrea's toddler approach... maybe get the book before you start. Unlike what I did!

I know a lot of us are moms who are constantly considering possible side hustles to make money and stay home with our babies.  Which is why I interviewed my friend Fin, who runs an online business on Amazon. Fin gives it to you straight. She’s not trying to convince you you’ll make a million dollars in 30 days. She shares with us the process of getting a product on Amazon. She also comes from a background of adult online education and created a step by step course for HOW to do it. I took the first 2 courses…. And failed (simply because I stopped).
If you listen to this and want more, her first course is totally free and gives you a GREAT understanding of HOW it all works.

SO much changes when you and your partner become parents and sometimes a lot of the weight falls on the Mother… BIOLOGICALLY.  Partner resentment can be VERY real as we enter into motherhood and our relationship with our partner changes!  SO I asked Tessa Romero, a mindset coach to come talk me through partner resentment and HOLY CRAP did I get a mirror put up to my face (in a good way).  Spoiler alert, there is more going on than just a mindset shift, we need to work on identifying who WANT to be and owning our own feelings. Woof, this is a good one!

Have you ever considered what people did before diapers? Or in other countries where diapers are not as accessible? Welcome to Elimination Communication. I luckily heard about it during my pregnancy and we started with Aliya when she was just 6 months old!  We were super relaxed about it, were stoked when we caught a pee or poop (especially poop considering we use cloth diapers) but didn’t sweat it too much when we missed one.
I am lucky enough to have Andrea,  the founder of Go Diaper Free on the podcast, to tell us ALL about EC.  She even challenged me asking why my 19 month old was still in diapers!!  I hope you enjoy and learn something new!

022: Where we draw the line (and differ) in “natural” parenting | Momtourage Podcast
Hey Shayla Podcast | Ep: 022
Guest: @Momtouragepodcast Kari and Ashley

Thank you for listening to the Hey Shayla podcast!  Here, we love to learn new things and decide what works for us and our family.. We're the moms that support instead of judge and know there are many ways to do something right.  I'd love to connect on Instagram @heyshayla

This is a refreshing conversation between 3 moms who do it differently AND support each other. Keri and Ashley give it to you straight. The conversation started out as “how to continue to raise your child as an extension of that natural childbirth you wanted” and quickly morphed into something a bit different. We talk about the “natural” things that we did do with our kids, what we didn’t do and what we thought we’d do. We also talk about what other moms are doing that we would NOT want to do… BUT SUPPORT THEM ANYWAY. 

I hope this podcast empowers you to feel confident in the decisions (and mistakes) you make when raising your babies.

Being pregnant can already be stressful, throw in a pandemic and anxiety can be at an all time high. Then you need to make decisions about the vaccine, who you feel comfortable being around and dealing with changing guidelines at hospitals... woof.
You're also told that pregnant women get more severe symptoms because of our lowered immune system and lungs that are being squashed. 
SO needless to say it's something that's always in the back of your mind. Well... my family got covid  and I’m sharing my experience of being covid positive while 25 pregnancy because I was honestly terrified to get covid.

I’m sharing my experience of getting covid+ while 25 pregnancy because I was honestly terrified to get covid. I'm not saying it's not scary, I understand the severity of it. I've lost family members who were covid positive when they passed.  But most of the stories out there are all about the most traumatic and extreme cases so I wanted to share mine that was not comfortable but fairly mild.

I also asked my instagram for other women who got covid during pregnancy and shared their stories on my highlights. 
Please stay safe, everyone's outcome is different but I wanted to share mine.

020 - 3 EASY tips to encourage your toddler develop language (& why it’s important)
Hey Shayla Podcast | Ep: 020
Guest: Katie and Carly  from  @weetalkers Speech & Language Therapists

Thank you for listening to the Hey Shayla podcast!  Here, we love to learn new things and decide what works for us and our family.. We're the moms that support instead of judge and know there are many ways to do something right.  I'd love to connect on Instagram @heyshayla

Is it actually important that our children develop vocabulary early? Don’t kids learn how to talk on their own? These are questions I asked Katie and Carly from Wee Talkers. TBH I had no idea what I could learn for my typical speaking toddler but HOLY SMOKES DID I LEARN!!

Katie and Carly walk me through three SIMPLE changes to make in the way I talk to my toddler to help her develop her skills so she can communicate more easily with me and avoid frustration. Something else I didn’t think about was that it prepares her for building on that communication when it comes time for school and learning!

No such thing as bad weather, a get-outside mindset!
Guest: @rainorshinemamma Author of “There’s No Such Thing as Bad Weather”

Thank you for listening to the Hey Shayla podcast!  Here, we love to learn new things and decide what works for us and our family.. We're the moms that support instead of judge and know there are many ways to do something right.  I'd love to connect on Instagram @heyshayla

Living in Minnesota, it’s COLD. I’m talking colder than the South Pole sometimes! We basically write off winters, we even have skyways in the city so we never have to actually go outside. So when I started to read No Such Thing as Bad Weather - A Scandinavian Mom’s Secrets for Raising Healthy, Resilient and Confident Kids, my world was turned upside down when she said you can (and should) go play outside in any temperature. Her motto from growing up in Sweden is “There’s no such thing as bad weather only bad clothing”. So I started my mission to invest in gear to GET OUTSIDE!

Linda McGurk was SO fun to talk to and answer ALL of my questions like what is a balaclava? How do you buy lambs wool to insulate your stroller and a bunting bag to keep your baby warm? And IS there TOO cold?

Check out her book here: https://amzn.to/3GPJxrr

018 - Do you ACTUALLY need to work on your pelvic floor in pregnancy & postpartum? With Women’s Health PT

Hey Shayla Podcast | Ep: 018

I don’t know about you, but when I was pregnant I knew NOTHING about why pelvic floor was important, how to work it or why it was important. Luckily Expecting and Empowered reached out to me to try out their pregnancy and postpartum guides and probably saved me a lot of problems. I have one of the hilarious co-founders Krystle, a Women’s Health PT, on today to answer all of our questions about why it’s important and what to do about it!

An open conversation about mental health in pregnancy and postpartum with Cameron

It’s kind of insane how much our mood fluctuates during pregnancy and postpartum. Some of us just ride the wave, and others seek out help with therapy, journaling, mediation, medication, exercise or ANYTHING that helps us to feel ourselves again.
Cameron (@freckeledfoodie) is an open book about her mental health journey which is EXACTLY why I wanted to chat mental health in pregnancy and postpartum with her.
She was a breath of fresh air who openly chatted about meditation, therapy, medication and let me ask questions I don’t feel comfortable asking most people like “At what point do you need to go on medication?”. I hope this episode gives you the confidence to get help however that best looks for you!

In the instagram culture that we live in now, people think they need to quit their job, sell all of their things and buy a van to be able to travel. Also, people love to tell new parents to “do it now before you can’t”. Well Travel Writers Lindsey and Cole Ranzau took that on as a personal challenge to continue traveling and adventuring around Minnesota (and the world) even… ESPECIALLY after their daughter was born.
Lindsey and Cole open up with me to share their mindset on getting outside and JUST DOING IT! 
We hope this leaves you inspired to gather up the energy and get going with your little one!

015 - An EMPOWERING C-Section + postpartum body image w/ Liz Krueger

Hey Shayla Podcast | Ep: 015
Guest: @wearethekruegers Liz Krueger Curator with Lululemon

Unless you have a planned c-section, that option may not be one that you heavily consider when you think about how your birth will play out.  Many women come out of c-section a little stunned and wondering what just happened (and what to do now). Not Liz! Liz felt empowered by her emergency c-section. Knowing that that isn’t the norm for many women I wanted to interview her so we could hear her story of a long labor and eventually an empowering birth.  Liz also chatted with me about body image postpartum and putting in the work to FEELING better, however that looks for you.

Expect THESE emotions (&hormones) in pregnancy, postpartum and weaning with Dr. Carrie Jones

Hey Shayla Podcast | Ep: 013
Guest: @dr.carriejones a functional medicine and women's health/hormone doctor

There is SO MUCH we didn’t learn about our own bodies. Most of us have NO CLUE what goes on in the body when we ovulate, have our period, get pregnant. So when our mood (and labido) tank postpartum we don’t know 1. That it wont last forever and 2. That is totally NORMAL. 

I had to have Dr. Carrie Jones, a friend, guru and functional medicine and women’s health/hormone doctor on to tell us all exactly what happens inside our bodies. This is the information we needed going into pregnancy and postpartum (and for me when I weaned) so we knew our crazy was… well normal crazy. That being said, it may be normal but that doesn’t make it any less horrible and we FULLY SUPPORT  talk therapy and medication to help you feel back to yourself!

 012: My low mood and energy improved after working with this clinical nutritionist #partner

As moms our bodies, hormones, emotions and energy levels can be insane and make us wonder if we’ll ever feel like our old selves again. And while we probably won’t (I mean this new title is more than all of those things) we can do things to feel better. I’ve been working with Stephanie, a clinical nutritionist and owner of Ooh Wow Nutrition, and after looking at my labs she recommended natural ways to support my thyroid, low mood and energy.  In this episode we go through some of my history and my labs. I wanted to share Stephanie with you if you are feeling depleted and looking for someone to help!

I enjoy working with Stephanie because she combines data (YOUR BLOOD) with a natural and holistic approach to find a solution. 
If this is you, I hope this episode helps to give you some guidance.

Be prepared  for an unmedicated birth from a nurse who’s had 3!

If you are open to the idea of having an unmedicated birth learning as much as you can is the best form of empowerment!  I interviewed Amy Kiefer a co-founder of Expecting and Empowered a pregnancy and postpartum workout and pelvic floor exercises.

Amy Keifer has had 3 unmedicated births, was a nurse, is the co-founder of Expecting and Empowered, and has doula training. I knew she'd be the perfect person to talk to about preparing for labor and delivery!

Breastfeeding is supposed to be this natural experience that we somehow are supposed to magically know how to do. AND even if we have a relatively easy experience there are SO many hurdles that we can face and have to overcome.  Natalie Johnson (@standing_so_tall) an IBCLC shares with us typical problems like cracked nipples, engorgement, mastitis, tongue tie, blebs, biting (and more) and how to overcome them!

Natalie has been passionate about breastfeeding since college, has breastfed her 4 babies, and supports moms with her community carriage house in person and virtual meetings! She has been my guru and has sooo much knowledge and passion about breastfeeding!!

When we start breastfeeding most of us are concerned about our supply. Are we making too little and our baby isn’t getting enough? Or are we making too much and leaking and getting engorged?
Well, apparently there are a few very simple things we can do to establish our supply in the first 3-6 weeks.

Natalie Johnson (@standing_so_tall) has been passionate about breastfeeding since college, has breastfed her 4 babies, and supports moms with her community carriage house in person and virtual meetings! She has been my guru and has sooo much knowledge and passion about breastfeeding! Natalie shares how to establish your supply, what is normal, and common misconceptions. This is a must-listen if you are pregnant.

The Ruhls @ruhlsoftheroad were full-time travelers before their little babe arrived and have not slowed down in fact their motto is “travel doesn’t have to stop when you have a baby!”

I wanted to hear their story of how they’re started traveling full time and how it has changed since having Indie. They also shared great tips for flying!

GENIUS pumping tips from an exclusive pumper
With Abby Rose Green (@abbyrosegreen) 

Thank you for listening to the Hey Shayla podcast!  Here we're the parents that learn new things and decide what works for us and our family. We're the moms that support instead of judge and know there are many ways to do something right.  I'd love to connect more on Instagram @heyshayla

Many moms add pumping into the equation of ways to breastfeed our babies. And like so many things in motherhood we’re not taught the tips and tricks, we’re left to figure it out ourselves!

I’m interviewing Abby Green (@abbyrosegreen) who traveled a pumped with her first and exclusively pumped with her 3rd for ALLLL the tips to make it as easy as possible.

Abby, the co-host of multiple podcasts (@herselfpodcast and their newest @pursuingherpurpose podcast) she is also very well researched and very experienced pumping. She shares her best tips on products to make the experience hands-free (bras and fanny packs to hold your machine), how to travel while pumping, tips for making pumping at work easier, a quick fix to get more milk and so much more about pumping!

Resources shared:  @kellymomdotcom for pumping and @juliasway16 for low muscle tone or Down syndrome babies 🙌

Will baby sign language delay speech?
With Julia with ASL Discoveries

Thank you for listening to the Hey Shayla podcast!  Here we learn new things and decide what works for us and our family. We're the moms that support instead of judge and know there are many ways to do something right.  I'd love to connect more on Instagram @heyshayla

Baby's first words are so fun! What if we could give them tools to communicate what they needed before they even start talking?!   

We have Julia, the director of ASL Discoveries, an ASL educational company. They teach sign language to everyone from corporate companies like Amazon and Upwork, to babies! And Julia has been working with children and in the teaching field for a combination of over 10 years.  When I found her I knew I wanted to have her on the Hey Shayla Podcast!

SIMPLE changes to raise intuitive eaters
With Lyndi Cohen (@nude_nutritionist)

Lyndi Cohen (@nude_nutritionist on Instagram) is a Dietitian and Nutritionist. Lyndi believes the best way to feel better is by forgetting dieting and weigh-ins and instead implementing real, sustainable change to FEEL better.  
She walked me through different ways to raise mindful eaters, body confident kids, and children who have a healthy relationship with food!  
Spoiler: It starts with us; we do the work, our children (and we) reap the benefits.

The best part?! Lyndi created an app, Back to Basics
https://www.lyndicohen.com/back-to-basics/

Three reasons why every mom needs this app:
1. The recipes are 20 min OR LESS for prep time!
2. There is a shopping functionality, so it will add all the ingredients to your online order to make it SIMPLE.
3. The pregnancy workouts are tailored to each trimester, so you know what you’re doing is safe!
Bonus: The first week is free.

 adding another baby with mom of 3
Jess Hover (@jess_hover)

I found YouTuber Jess Hover's video "I don't like being a mom" when I was searching for someone who could tell me my overwhelm was normal AND give me authentic encouragement, and that's exactly what I found.  So who better to talk to about adding MORE babies to the mix?!

We talk about going from no babies to one, two, and then three in this episode and Jess shared with us her real  experience with these transitions.

Thank you so much for being here! Going from full-time travel to full-time mom was the most challenging adventure I've been on yet.

Creating my YouTube channel (Hey Shayla) in 2016, I started sharing the stories of my travels, now sharing my -unfiltered- stories as a mom.
After realizing the bits I loved from being a full-time traveler (learning new things, meeting new people, and sharing those experiencing), I realized I was missing some of that by simply doing YouTube videos and connecting in comments.

THE PODCAST WAS BORN!

Now I get to tap into the incredible people and resources I know, have honest conversations with my gurus, and then share the knowledge with you!

I am SO SO grateful and hope you love! If you do, I'd love it if you subscribed and commented with who you'd love to see on the show!
