With Whit

Have you ever wondered what other couples fight about? Even though I was terrified to put it out there, I thought it would be interesting to let you guys in on the part of my relationship that never makes it to social media: fights with Timmy.  Like every other couple out there, we fight, but rarely do people share these intimate moments. It’s scary to make yourself vulnerable, but like every other time I have put myself out there, healing and support have followed and made everything worth it. Check out this week’s episode to hear about a fight that Timmy and I get into regularly, both of our sides, and how we resolved it. Also, don’t judge us.

I think it is safe to say that the majority of women in the United States are on some form of birth control. I was told to start taking the birth control pill when I was 18 years old for acne. I know I am not the only one who’s relationship with birth control started that way. I had an incredible conversation with Sarah E. Hill, PHD all about the birth control pill and the effects it has on women’s brains and hormones. Dr. Hill, a research psychologist and professor who studies health, relationships, and other forms of social behavior using the super-generative theoretical tools available from the evolutionary sciences.  Dr. Hill shares her extensive research on birth control in her new book This is Your Brain on Birth Control. This book provides an even-handed, science-based understanding of who women are, both on and off the pill. It’s so amazing that she is getting answers to questions that women deserve to know and have trouble getting. We need to understand the full picture of birth control and what it does.  For more information about birth control from Dr. Hill, check out her book This is Your Brain on Birth Control. You can get it here off of Amazon!

One of the professional positions I hold is Chief Branding & Strategy Officer of Bundle Organics. I helped start this company when I became pregnant with Sonny and found that it was difficult to find healthy, real, organic snacks and teas made specifically for pregnant and nursing women. Bundle Organics provides nursing and pregnant women with products packed with quality organic ingredients and vitamins for each stage of their pregnancy - from fertility all the way to nursing. I am thankful that through this position I am able to get the opportunity to connect with other strong, driven business women and moms like Liz Vaccariello. When I spoke to Liz she was the Editor in Chief of Parents Magazine. She has since become the Editor in Chief of Real Simple and is the group editorial director for Meredith Corporation’s lifestyle titles, including Parents, Shape, InStyle, Martha Stewart Living, Parents Latina and Health. AND she is a mother of two! Needless to say she has her plate full. Liz and I talk about the word I try to avoid using…balance. She provides insight into how we should approach steps to finding balance between our personal and professional lives. It is so important to remember that we have to take care of ourselves before we can show up for anyone else or our jobs.
