“I discovered that becoming a mom has been everything my heart longs for and more. It’s extremely rewarding as well as incredibly challenging.” -Christy“I was not prepared for some of the challenges that would come with momming… and the mom community and the expectations there can be for perfection from others and ourselves” -Christy“I think women need women, especially when you’re going through pregnancy and those mothering things that aren’t talked about … “ -Kaylin“I thought I had an awareness of myself and then I became a mom and all these feelings of shame and all these lies that start creeping like “my body is not good enough; I don’t know what I’m doing; I’m not important enough…” All these things can start weighing you down; becoming a mom is very difficult.” -Kaylin“Becoming a mom is threatening to your identity if you placed any sense of your value or worth as a woman in any of the titles or roles you’ve had. So many of those get stripped away because you’re now just at home alone with this baby wondering what to do now; I was faced a lot with questions of what am I contributing to society now?” -Christy“I now love saying ‘I’m a full-time stay-at-home mom,’ but it’s come with a journey to get there without shame or feeling the need to give qualifiers... to believe and feel like this is enough.” -Christy“I find myself saying “I’m just a mom” like you’re not important or enough. And I think that’s the question that moms and humans ask themselves: “Am I enough?” So I think this conversation is important because I really want to talk about our self care and taking care of our heart because there’s not a lot out there for support when you’re sitting out there alone with your baby or you have just entered into having a new child and you’re alone with your emotions and thinking “I don’t know what to do with these emotions…” -Kaylin“I found myself thinking, ‘What do we as moms need to be able to make these kinds of decisions from a place of freedom and validation in who we are such that we’re not choosing something to get our validation from what we’re doing? How do we live knowing that who we are is enough and believe that who we are as a mom is enough?’” -ChristyKaylin & Christy share a Polar Bear story from Como Zoo about the health of the mama bear being important and critical for her to be able to care for her cubs. “Something struck us when the zookeeper said ‘the mom’s health is important to be able to take care of the cubs…’” -Kaylin“I don’t think we as moms will ever be satisfied as moms if we’re trying to get our sense of value out of our momming or anything we do. We’ll never be fully satisfied when we’re comparing or trying to get our worth from anything of the things we’re doing.” -Christy“Loving God, loving ourselves and loving others is our goal…” -Christy“We’re never going to arrive; it’s a process and that’s part of being human and that’s beautiful.” -KaylinOur definition of being a mom is very broad and might be different than what you might expect. For The Mom Podcast, a listening “mom” could be a woman who has given birth, fosters, has adopted or who mentors and loves people - that is our definition of mom.” -Kaylin“Our goal is to take you on a journey with us of process toward becoming more confident moms who are journeying with others in a similar state of life...knowing we’re enough!” -Christy

Join Monster X Radio hosts Gunnar Monson and Shane 'Hard Core' Corson as they sit down with Abe Del Rio. Abe Del Rio, also known as Elusive1 in the Bigfoot community, is the Founder and Director of the Minnesota Bigfoot Research Team and host MN.B.R.T.. Abe has been doing Bigfoot field research and investigations for a little over 16 years. Abe has yet to see a Bigfoot with his own two eyes but has had multiple encounters.  Abe's interest in Bigfoot originated from childhood  "from the gorillas at Como Zoo in St. Paul Minnesota". He was awestruck by them.  Growing up he would hear of the occasional Bigfoot report or sighting and by the time he was a young man they were still coming in leading him to beleive that there has to be something to these reports. In 2000 he started the Minnesota Bigfoot Research Team and has been doing field research and investigations ever since. Currently the MNBRT has 10 total members with eight members in Minnesota and two in West Virginia, The MNBRT employs a no-kill philosophy and is armed with the kind of equipment that could lead to confirmation of the species.   With this in mind, the MNBRT holds hope of getting protection for the species known as BIGFOOT. Known throughout the bigfoot community, Abe has helped authors and has been in several newspapers.  He recently wrapped up a Minnesota episode of FINDING BIGFOOT in July. Gunnar Monson is a long time Bigfoot researcher. He is the lead investigator of the Tillamook Forest Research Group (TFRG). He is also the founder of The Sasquatch Coffee Company (www.squatchcoffee.com) Born in Scotland, Shane Corson's interest in cryptids began at an early age. His 2011 sighting while on a fishing trip in the Mt. Hood National Forest only served to fuel his passion for the pursuit. Shane is a core member of the TFRG as well as the Olympic Project.
