The Well Nourished Mama

Working parents are experiencing higher levels of stress and burnout than ever before, and it’s not just a time management problem. In this episode, Dr. Rosina McAlpine joins Brooke as they break down the research behind working parent stress, why work and home life are more connected than we think, and what’s really driving burnout.

You’ll learn how workplaces can better support families, why “family-friendly” policies often fall short, and how to advocate for yourself in a way that actually creates change. This conversation blends data with practical strategies so you can feel more supported, more empowered, and less overwhelmed in both your work and your home life.

If you’ve been told to just pump more, nurse more, or drink more water to fix low milk supply—but something still feels off—this episode is for you.

In this powerful conversation, I’m resharing an interview from a postpartum and breastfeeding summit where we dive into a topic that is rarely discussed: the connection between postpartum recovery and milk supply.

So often, moms are given surface-level solutions for breastfeeding struggles without ever addressing what’s happening beneath the surface. The truth is, your body prioritizes survival first—and if it’s dealing with underlying stressors like chronic inflammation, gut imbalances, thyroid dysfunction, or nutrient deficiencies, milk production may take a back seat.

Inside this episode, we explore why your overall health plays a critical role in lactation success—and how ignoring root causes can leave you stuck in a cycle of frustration.

Whether you’re currently postpartum and struggling with milk supply, pregnant and preparing for recovery, or even trying to conceive, this episode will help you better understand what your body truly needs to support both healing and breastfeeding.

This is your invitation to move beyond bandaid solutions and start supporting your body in a deeper, more sustainable way.

Is “balance” between business and motherhood actually possible—or is it setting you up to feel like you’re always falling short? In this solo episode, I share my honest perspective on why the idea of “balancing it all” is misleading and what to focus on instead. I break down how I’ve built a successful business while being a stay-at-home mom—without sacrificing my values, time, or priorities.

This episode reframes success through a more intentional lens, helping you move away from the pressure to do everything and toward becoming the “master of one.” If you’ve ever felt torn between motherhood and your ambitions, this conversation will give you permission to define success on your own terms and build a life that actually supports it.

If you’ve ever asked why you feel the way you do — and didn’t get a real answer — you’re not alone. In this episode, I'm breaking down a pattern I've seen in 100% of the mamas in my DMs: no one can explain the root cause of their symptoms or diagnosis. From brain fog and fatigue to Hashimoto’s and infertility, most women are given surface-level explanations or dismissed entirely. Inside this episode, you’ll learn why conventional medicine often misses the full picture, what’s actually required to uncover root causes, and how foundational factors like nutrition, lifestyle, and nervous system regulation play a critical role in healing. If you’re tired of managing symptoms and ready for real answers, this episode will completely shift how you view your health.

You'll also learn how to test your cellular health, why bloodwork misses the mark with cellular health, and how you can optimize your current habits to support your cells.
