Motherhood has taught me what I'm mentally and physically capable of, as well as what I still need to work on.

I have learned that grace has been something I must try to put in the forefront. In this episode, I get raw, real, and unfiltered!

We have taken many flights throughout the years, due to our traveling lifestyle, but I have never traveled with a child before until now. In this episode, I share the Good, Bad, and Ugly of our trip as well as some personal recommendations on making this trip as comfortable as possible. There will always be the occasional stare, look, and snicker but at the end of the day it is all about getting to your destination as stress-free as possible.During this trip, I found that specific airlines and their policies can make or break your experience. So be sure to research what they will and will not do without a specific request.It has been a while since we last caught up, but I am excited to check in! It's Brie Pod Wednesday!!

Traveling is essential for Jeremy's job, and as many know, we have moved from OR to AZ. Even though we have moved, I still have to come back every other month for the orthodontist because I'm still on the road to jaw surgery...Yesterday, I took my very first solo trip without my son.Between delayed flights and frantically searching for ice (because I couldn't watch any more breastmilk go down the drain) to the emotional roller coaster ride of being away from my son for 24 hours. I have had some time to share my experience.I made mistakes and learned a lot along the way.In this episode, I'm sharing the mistakes I made, and tips for traveling solo as a breastfeeding mama.

We broke up with our baby's pediatrician after our very first appointment and here's why....In this episode, I share how one appointment led to a harmful statement, many tears, and a huge feeling of failure in the vulnerable place we were already in, as new parents.

Have you ever felt like you knew something was wrong with your health, but everyone else including the "professionals" told you otherwise? Two years ago today I had Endometriosis Laparoscopic Surgery and it changed my life. In this episode, I celebrate the official day I learned of my diagnosis of Endometriosis after 10+ years of searching for answers. I talk about the medical trauma I faced as well as the imposter syndrome that crept in.On this journey for answers and healing, I did not get everything resolved but I learned along the way that it is still important to celebrate every win, even if it seems small. I am not sure what will come next for my endo story, but I do know that many women in the endo community have had 5-9+ surgeries in their lifetime. The sad part about the lack of research is that at this point endo doesn't have a cure.My mission is to help by sharing my story + symptoms to help spread awareness. A 10-year wait for any diagnosis is unacceptable!"Your illness does not define you. Your strength and courage does"#endothepain

In this Episode,I talk about the multi-journey of being pregnant and prepping for jaw surgery. I share the struggles that I have faced by doing both at the same time, as well as the lessons I have learned too. Nutrition has always been a struggle for me and both life events have not made it easy in any way, but I do share how I have gotten through and always remind myself -- This is Only Temporary!

In this Episode,I talk about the third trimester and what I am doing for my body. I share how pregnancy has challenged me in many ways - One of them is addressing my stubbornness and keeping it in check.

We are so grateful to be close to meeting our beautiful baby boy.As always, Thank you for your support and love along this journey!

TRIGGER WARNING: AbortionIn this episode, I cover the controversial Supreme Court decision with the overturn of Roe V. Wade and I share aspects of how this impacts other court cases outside of Abortion. Roe did far more than establish the right to abortion; it solidified and expanded the constitutional “right to privacy," which has also been described as the right to autonomy orto be let alone. This right to privacy is part of the right to liberty protected by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, which state that no person shall be deprived of “life, liberty orproperty, without due process of law. The Constitution's protection of liberty and privacy underlies the Supreme Court's recognition of fundamental rights related to contraception and procreation, marriage, family relations, child-rearing, and intimacy. Although The Court's recognition of the right to privacy predates Roe, Roe is an important affirmation of and foundation for a broad array of privacy rights. While not exclusively dependent on Roe, Roe influenced privacy principles in each of theseareas—principles that could be undermined if the Supreme court overturns Roe - Which unfortunately is what now has happened.

This includes procedures to move the upper jaw or maxilla forward, backward, or even widen it.

Since 2016, June 1st has been World Narcissistic Abuse Awareness Day. Narcissistic abuse is an emotional abuse where the abuser only cares about themselves, using words and actions to manipulate their partner. While physical abuse leaves marks, emotional abuse is invisible and difficult to prove and has a long-term negative impact. It often goes unnoticed as there aren't any laws prohibiting mind games or name-calling. The occurrence aims to raise awareness and educate people about what narcissistic abuse is, the warning signs, and how to avoid pathological people. In this episode, I talk about what a Narcasstic Abuser looks like from the warning signs to the red flags, as well as sharing my own experiences, as a victim of Narcissistic Abuse. I also share how it can affect your life and the steps I took to start the healing journey. Below. I have added extra resources and tools to help as well.

Becoming pregnant and having a baby can be one of the best times of a person's life, especially for first-time moms. However, pregnancy can also be an extremely stressful and difficult time. Yes, from the initial stages of getting pregnant, to eventually giving birth to a real-life human being, the whole ordeal can be pretty tough. Therefore, it is even more important to be respectful and thoughtful to those who are expecting a baby.Listen. When talking to a pregnant woman, let her lead the conversation. If she doesn't volunteer information about her weight, due date, sex of the baby, number of babies, etc. etc. …DON'T ASK!! Sometimes you just have to accept that it really is none of your business.If there's still any doubt, then you can refer to this podcast episode, where I share the sh*t you just don't say to a pregnant woman!
