Hi friends! This is a late-in-the-week episode publish, as we normally release episodes on Tuesdays. But sometimes... life happens!  Were back this week with an amazing guest, Aneece Alicea who is a licensed mental health counselor and had a lot of good things to say and chat about in regards to mental health, especially during the last couple years throughout the pandemic. Aneece shares some really great and doable advice for how we can manage our anxiety and get through the difficult mental health challenges that are presenting themselves so much more throughout the pandemic.  You can find more from Aneece at the links below:  https://lovesprogressnotes.com/ https://www.facebook.com/lovesprogressnotes/ https://familyfire.com/articles/keeping-your-cool-emotional-regulation-for-parents --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Happy Tuesday and welcome back to another episode of Mighty Mamahood! This week, I had on Naomi Wright to chat with me about the importance of breaking harmful generational parents when raising our own children. I feel that this is a topic that should be talked about more but isn't, so we are here to start the conversation! We hope you enjoy this and that you take away some good thoughts or information. Naomi is the daughter of a pseudo-Christian cult leader. She was raised, yet hidden, within mainstream culture and public school education, where no one knew—or the few with a sense of something, stayed silent. She did not know this was the case until she was 28, from which point she has sought after truth with a questioning mind, adamant to never find herself so lost again. Naomi holds a Master of Science in Social Work from the University at Buffalo, is licensed in the state of Colorado, and is near completion of a Master in Arts in Christian Studies from Denver Seminary. She is the Founder and Executive Director of beEmboldened.

Welcome back to the Mighty Mamahood podcast, friends! This week, I had on Michelle Valiukenas who came on to talk about her personal experiences with child loss, and the foundation she started to help other parents and families struggling with difficult health situations. Michelle Valiukenas is the proud mom of her angel Sweet Pea, who she lost due to miscarriage, her angel daughter Colette Louise who she lost at nine days old, and her only living child, her rainbow baby, Elliott Miguel. Inspired by her journey with Colette, Michelle and her husband founded The Colette Louise Tisdahl Foundation, whose mission is to improve outcomes of pregnancy, childbirth, prematurity, and infancy, as well as aid in the grieving process through financial assistance, education, and advocacy. Their flagship program financially assists families dealing with high-risk and complicated pregnancies, NICU stays, and loss. The organization's ability to help families relies on donations and grants and they are grateful if you are able to donate. Michelle also participates and advocates on issues of maternal health, maternal mortality, infant health and safety, and pregnancy complications. Michelle lives in Glenview, Illinois with her son Elliott, husband Mark, and dog Nemo.

Happy Tuesday, mighty mamas! For the month of January, I am focusing on some content to inspire and encourage you not just in motherhood, but life in general.

We spend our time here talking about living an intentional and fulfilling life, and not just getting stuck in the monotonous, day-to-day routine that life, and motherhood, often bring to us. Join us for a conversation about the ways we "fall short", and how we can make better, more "on-purpose" use of our time.
