Still think healing has to be hard, heavy, and emotionally exhausting? Not with this guest. In this paradigm-shifting episode, Erica sits down with speaker, author, and reinvention strategist Riana Malia to uncover the unconscious patterns keeping high-achieving women stuck—and how to finally break free.Riana shares her personal journey from a peaceful-looking divorce turned emotional battlefield, to finding true love (and handcuffs—yep, she tells that story too). Together, they explore how trauma lives in the body, why therapy isn't always enough, and what it really takes to rewire your beliefs and rebuild your life from the inside out.Because you're not broken. You're just overdue for a new operating system.

School's just about out for the summer - now what? Many parents will have signed their kids up for numerous camps and enrichment experiences by now, making sure that they won't have to hear the dreaded “I'm bored!” refrain repeated endlessly. That makes sense since kids are often passive receivers - of entertainment that both their technology and many toys that are made for children provide. They are also often passive recipients of education. Most are required to go to a formal school setting whether or not they want to, where they tend to be externally motivated by systems of rewards and punishments to do what adults tell them to do and learn what they're told to learn and when. This means that many kids these days don't have or take as many opportunities to create their own fun or decide what to do with their time as they once did. Furthermore, high-pressure academic environments can leave kids feeling anxious and depressed about where they fall in grade rankings - or that their scores are worth more than they are. Rather than developing a love of learning, these kids can end up developing the false idea that how they “perform” their learning means more than the learning itself.Transcript: https://project-parenthood.simplecast.com/episodes/5-ways-to-encourage-a-self-directed-summer-encore/transcriptSources: What Is Self-Directed Education?

Our unconscious minds are involved in everything we do, say, think, and believe. The problem is… we don't realize it. Most of us walk around with unmet needs from past traumas, and we unwittingly bring those needs into our relationships and project our unresolved issues onto our partners. My guest this week, Riana Malia, went through this exact same scenario herself in her first marriage and now teaches hot to break the cycle of damaged relationships, stop keeping drama alive, and allow for genuine healing to happen - at a much quicker rate than conventional methods to boot!  Riana is no stranger to trauma and growing up in an unstable home. Consistently let down by her father, who was not only mostly absent but also made promises he never kept, Riana had to learn how to fend for herself. As an adult, her first marriage ended in divorce, leaving her feeling worthless, and her father fell through on a business opportunity he had promised her, which made her feel like a failure. Despite these setbacks, Riana was determined to provide a stable life for her own family, and that's when she discovered the techniques she now teaches today.On this week's guest episode, Riana shares her personal story of life challenges and let downs that, wouldn't you know, led her to discover a higher level of healing and transmuting emotional pain. which is now her life's work! Riana shares the methods she use to help others take their power back and heal including neurolinguistic programming and quantum time release. She explains what (QTR) technique does is release all of these stored-up emotions and beliefs, giving us a “reset button” to learn how to respond to situations from a new perspective and emotional state. This is what Riana teaches her clients, allowing them to learn new responses to emotional triggers,Bio:Riana Malia is an accomplished transformation coach trained in Evolved Neurolinguistic Programming (ENLP), Quantum Time Release (QTR), and Advanced Trauma-Aware Coaching who empowers ambitious women to live a confident and trauma-free life.With over 20 years of coaching experience, Riana has helped hundreds of women find true love, create personal and professional pivots, and overcome obstacles to help them live their best lives.

Heather Anderson is a community leader and marketing strategist who's passionate about fostering organic growth for businesses through social media engagement and strategic partnerships. She's the Founder of The Mamahood, the largest and most diverse support group for mothers in the San Francisco Bay Area, and The Club, a growth accelerator that helps women Founders, CEOs and creatives reach a Bay Area audience. She's also a writer, speaker, songwriter, and a mother of five in Walnut Creek, with a penchant for graphic novels and reading cookbooks without actually cooking. Her second book, The Story of Sadie, is currently being published episodically as an illustrated musical memoir. As a serial entrepreneur myself, with 25 years of marketing experience specializing in organic growth and strategic partnerships for brands, I have pivoted from working primarily with Founders of larger, VC-backed companies to working with women Founders in a more affordable, scalable way. I've crafted a way for smaller companies to capitalize on lower cost organic growth strategies after seeing so many founders waste critical funds on ineffectual marketing and advertising methods. The reward for me is providing incredible women with awesome brands with maximum impact and ROI at the lowest cost possible, capitalizing on the power of community.  Membership in The Club is by interview only, so the best way to see if it feels like a fit is to jump on a call with me here: https://calendly.com/themamahood/30minWe have two levels of membership, and understanding your business needs, wants, goals and budget, will help me suggest the best route forward. If membership isn't a fit for some reason, I'll make some other helpful suggestions and leave you with some free advice. Who I'm most looking for: women Founders, CEOs, creatives whose product or services serve women in the Bay Area, LA or Sacramento. Club members can be anywhere in the world if their services are remote or they sell shippable product appropriate for CA residents or in-person in the Bay Area. We look for innovation, sustainability, health and wellness, clean and green, and an awareness around social justice, equity, and community impact. Club Member Criteria: a positive attitude, abundance mindset, willingness to learn, and an interest in connecting and collaborating with other business owners. Women must also own their companies, as our platform isn't set up to support employees or sales reps of third party brands. Heather Anderson | The Club | www.heatherlynnanderson.com and www.theclubhouse.io | heather@heatherlynnanderson.com | 9252005310 | Sign up for one of our negotiation courses at ShikinaNegotiationAcademy.comThanks for listening to Negotiation with Alice!

In this episode, Carlotta interviews her dear friend Valerie Chaney - artist, comedian, dancer, filmmaker and mother.

Mamas, you don't want to miss this one.In this week's episode, motherhood wellness expert Alyson Hempsey and women's health expert and pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Marcy Crouch are chatting about one woman's real-life experience with trying to get pelvic floor help after giving birth. While telling this story, Dr. Marcy discusses a common theme she sees in her practice: women who are brushed off over and over when trying to seek help with their pelvic floor following delivery. Well-meaning medical providers are simply not versed in women's pelvic floor conditions, which sadly leaves many women uncomfortable and left in pain because they are led to believe there isn't much to do. In this episode, you'll hear about one of Dr. Marcy's patients and her emotional experience with giving birth, symptoms she began noticing while she was postpartum, and why it was so difficult for her to finally be seen by a pelvic floor PT.Be sure to join us every Wednesday for new episodes of No Mama Left Behind.

In this week's episode, motherhood wellness expert Alyson Hempsey and women's health expert and pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Marcy Crouch are discussing Alyson's reaction to reading the book, “Bringing up Bebe” by Pamela Druckerman and the differences between American and French parenting styles.According to the book, one of the main takeaways is that children (in France) exist in the parent's world, as opposed to the parents' world revolving around the kids.Alyson and Marcy discuss how this relates to American moms, the childcare crisis we find ourselves in, and the loss of identity many American mothers face after giving birth.Listen up, mamas.

I'm delighted to be joined by the host of the Mamahood podcast, Maren Droubay. On this episode, Maren graciously shares some personal experiences that have profoundly shaped her appreciation for motherhood. It's often overlooked just how fortunate we are to be mothers. Yet, when the prospect of being a mom is nearly taken away, we gain a profound understanding of its value. In this episode, we'll delve into what motherhood signifies to both of us and explore the ways in which we actively embrace and cherish the role of motherhood in our daily lives.------------------------------Links Discussed in This EpisodeOrder a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with SimplicitySubstack: Minimalist Moms Podcast Mamahood Podcast: Episode 60Maren's Resource: The Danish Way of ParentingBook: There's No Such Thing As Bad WeatherInstagram: Happiest Kids on EarthConnect with Maren:InstagramPersonal InstagramPodcast: The Mamahood PodcastEnjoy this Podcast?Post a review and share it! If you enjoyed tuning into this podcast, then do not hesitate to write a review.

“After this week, things will start to settle down…” What other lies do we tell ourselves? Yeesh.In this week's episode, motherhood wellness expert Alyson Hempsey and women's health expert and pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Marcy Crouch are NOT discussing any one thing in particular. In fact, they are chatting about ALL the things that just build up over time until we, as moms, feel like we're going to self-destruct at any moment. The biggest takeaway from this episode is learning what things you can choose to take off of your plate so that you can be the best version of yourself. You have to put your mask on first, mama, before you can help others.For Alyson, that means hitting the pause button on social media. We all know moms are superheroes and we're capable of doing anything, which can be really difficult to admit when you need a break. But, we're here to tell you that you DO deserve the break and you don't need to justify it with reasons other than you just need one.Be sure to join us every Wednesday for new episodes of No Mama Left Behind.

Who mothers us moms? Is it our partner? Our own mother who lives out-of-state? What does it even mean to ‘Mother the Mother'?In this week's episode motherhood wellness expert Alyson Hempsey and women's health expert and pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Marcy Crouch,  do a deep dive into what it means to ‘Mother the Mother', and the answer isn't all that simple.For many women, especially those who are estranged from their mother, who have lost their mom, or whose mother doesn't live within close proximity of them, it is really difficult or borderline impossible to have our own needs met in the same way we mother our children. Is it our responsibility? Does that add to the already long list of the invisible load we carry? Or, is it our partner's job to mother us? Dr. Marcy and Alyson share glimpses into their relationships with their partners and emotional needs during trying times as they try to come up with the answer to, “who the f**k is taking care of us??”Be sure to join us every Wednesday for new episodes of No Mama Left Behind.

And our relationships with our Moms and kids can be too.This will be my first Mother's Day without my Mom. And even though our relationship wasn't always great, I always loved her. And I realized, before she passed, the gift she gave me that had, and has, the power to change how generations after her show up in the world - and to their own families. And I will be forever grateful for that.Pssst....if you're not skedaddling over to Target or a decent mall (something we don't have here in Montana), push "Play" anyway.

[VIDEO PODCAST] on YouTube HEREMy guest today is a local community health and wellness expert here in Santa Clarita, CA. She's super passionate about pre and post-natal fitness and lives the FIT4MOM mission statement every day, “helping moms make strides in fitness, motherhood, and life.” This mompreneur is on a mission to help mamas in our community find strength in motherhood and live life empowered.Please welcome our neighbor Samantha Welch!Samantha Welch in her own words: “Hey I'm Samantha, wife to Michael and Mama to two fierce little girls, Parker and River. I've worn many hats throughout my life but Motherhood is by far the hardest but in the best way. These days you can catch me trying to look composed as I run a small fitness franchise, raise my kiddos, and find time for self-care. Prior to becoming a business owner and Mom I was working full-time in the film industry, decorating sets for television. Honestly, It was a career that I worked my butt off to get into, it was a 6 figure job with amazing benefits and I was good at it! When Parker, my oldest daughter, came into the world, the passions in my heart shifted from becoming an Emmy-winning decorator to being a Mom! My heart was now outside of my body and I needed to make a shift.During my maternity leave, I found an amazing fitness program that was tailored to moms who could work out with their kiddos in tow, It was called FIT4MOM. I was so scared to go to the first class that I had Michael come sit on the bench at the park just in case Parker was crying or something (postpartum anxiety is real y'all). I signed up for a membership and started going to classes as often as I could, it became a routine for Parker and me to head to the park. She would often nap in the stroller while I was able to workout, but it was more than that; I was able to have conversations with other women who were going through similar situations and phases of life that I was, and I was able to have a new form of self-care and a bonding experience for me and my daughter. I had instant community and a village that was with me through everything, including the diagnosis of a rare disease in my youngest daughter, River. I never felt alone, FIT4MOM was there to lift me up and hold me close (even during the pandemic mind you) When I was offered the opportunity to take over the franchise I almost didn't hesitate, I didn't know the first thing about running a business but I knew a lot about leadership, mom life, and fitness. So I jumped in, and it's been a hell of a ride, but for sure one worth waiting in line for!”Fit4Mom  is the country's largest fitness program for moms offering pre and post-natal fitness classes for every stage of motherhood. They help moms achieve their ultimate potential, both physically and emotionally, and offer support and education for moms.

School's out for the summer - now what? Many parents will have signed their kids up for numerous camps and enrichment experiences by now, making sure that they won't have to hear the dreaded “I'm bored!” refrain repeated endlessly. That makes sense since kids are often passive receivers - of entertainment that both their technology and many toys that are made for children provide. They are also often passive recipients of education. Most are required to go to a formal school setting whether or not they want to, where they tend to be externally motivated by systems of rewards and punishments to do what adults tell them to do and learn what they're told to learn and when. This means that many kids these days don't have or take as many opportunities to create their own fun or decide what to do with their time as they once did. Furthermore, high-pressure academic environments can leave kids feeling anxious and depressed about where they fall in grade rankings - or that their scores are worth more than they are. Rather than developing a love of learning, these kids can end up developing the false idea that how they “perform” their learning means more than the learning itself.Sources: What Is Self-Directed Education?
