The Well Nourished Mama

In this deeply personal episode, I’m sharing the full story of how I built and sustained a resilient milk supply through one of the hardest years of my life. This wasn’t about pumping around the clock, panicking, or fighting my body. It was about understanding the foundations of lactation, creating a personalized care plan to support my health, and working with my body instead of against it. If you’ve ever feared your period, illness, thyroid issues, or stress would tank your supply, this episode will give you a new lens. Because protecting milk supply isn’t about doing more—it’s about supporting your physiology in the right way. And yes—I made it to one year breastfeeding without needing formula or relying on pumping to maintain supply.

Vaginal infections like UTIs, yeast infections, and BV are incredibly common, yet rarely talked about openly. In this episode, I sit down with Rachel (Ray) Latham to break down what actually causes vaginal imbalances, why pregnancy and postpartum can increase risk, and how gut health, hormones, water exposure, and sex all play a role. You’ll learn how to tell the difference between common vaginal infections, what prevention really looks like, and evidence-based tools to support vaginal health naturally and proactively.

The postpartum period isn’t just about the mother—it’s a critical window where partner support can make or break recovery. In this episode, I’m joined by Eric Stein to talk about the essential role men play after birth, why so many partners want to help but don’t know how, and how others underestimate their responsibility altogether. We unpack how intentional nourishment, rest, and a strong support system can radically change the postpartum experience. This conversation is a must-listen for any family wanting a calmer, more supported fourth trimester.

This week, I’m joined by Lily Nichols to break down what gestational diabetes really means and why so many mamas feel overwhelmed by the diagnosis. We talk through the difference between true pregnancy-triggered blood sugar changes and underlying insulin resistance, and why individualized nutrition matters more than generic restrictive advice. Lily also shares simple food strategies, lifestyle tools, and the role of CGMs to help you understand your patterns and feel more confident supporting stable blood sugar during pregnancy.

This week, we’re kicking off the first step in the Order of Healing: mindset—but not the fake-happy, toxic positivity kind. We’re digging into the neuroscience behind the placebo effect, growth mindset, and how your thoughts can influence everything from pain perception to breastfeeding outcomes. I’ll walk you through real-life examples for TTC, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and weight loss so you can see how this plays out in your everyday motherhood. If you want lasting healing, this is the step you can’t skip.
