Krista: Hey mamas! Welcome back to the So You Had a Baby Podcast, episode 39! This week we thought we'd cover a topic all moms hold dear to their hearts... SLEEP! We all want it and not many of us get it, so we thought it would be good to talk about all the decisions that keep us up at night! Nikki: Exactly, we understand that it’s a sensitive topic for some but still necessary to talk about. So, in this episode, we break down what we did and what worked and what didn’t work for us around sleep. ___ Thank you for listening to this episode!

Krista: Hey mamas welcome back to the So You Had a Baby Podcast, episode 38! Today we’re finishing off our body changes series with a very important and underserved topic, the vagina and pelvic floor. There’s so many changes that happen in the woman’s body and for many of us, the most impactful changes that we experience we don’t always talk about, for example, the changes that take place in our pelvic floor and the vagina. So we thought it would be great to have an expert come on and help educate us. Nikki: Dr. Lisa Jewell is a Chiropractor and soon-to-be mama located in Portland, OR. She holds specialties in Webster, Craniosacral, Pelvic Floor Rehab, Diastasis Recti Rehab, Active Release, and Instrument Assisted Myofascial Release in conjunction with Chiropractic Adjustments, and likes to give her patients the tools to take charge of their own health. --- Thank you for listening to this episode!

So in this episode we’re going to chat about how we took care of our bodies and hope you are inspired to show yourself some self-care in the times when it’s not so easy to think of you. --- Thank you for listening to this episode!

She says, “Listening to this podcast has been so helpful for me as I prepare for my journey into motherhood. I have found each episode to be so helpful in offering many perspectives on the postpartum period. I also very much appreciate the focus on positivity and giving yourself grace! I would recommend anyone who is pregnant, wanting to become pregnant, and especially those who already have kids to take a listen!” Krista: Shoutout to jordandiane26 and thank you for taking the time to review our podcast, If you are listening and like what you hear, drop us a review.

After having their babies and the dust had settled, literally, Lauren and Chandler began seriously discussing what it would take to start a company together. Fast forward three years later in March 2019, the two ladies officially launched AVYN, an athletic nursing bra company. The way they put it is, “Together they are tackling this business venture the way they tackle motherhood- figuring it out as they go, making mistakes, and having fun in the process.” Krista: We had so much fun talking to Lauren and Chandler today. Their postpartum journeys were so different and they both shared such wonderful perspective and advise that I know all mamas listening will find value in. Also, I personally loved their mom hacks and can't wait for you to hear them! As if that wasn't enough, they created such an amazing product that you definitely need and we know you will love.
