HERself

Dr. Kelly Vincent, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, and founder of the holistic mental health practice Nourished Wellness Group, helps women in all walks of life with their mental health journey. She is most passionate about caring for the mental health of mothers, female entrepreneurs, and other young professionals, which we know describes a lot of our listeners! Keeping you all in mind, we thought Dr. Kelly would be an excellent expert to bring on the show to share her knowledge on the body’s state of dysregulation, anxiety and high-functioning anxiety, and the “fawning” response. We discuss why so many of today’s parents feel dysregulated, overstimulated, and experience sensory overload more often than parents of previous generations. Kelly really gets to the root of why so many women feel the way they do and walks us through strategies that we can do to help feel more regulated. We hope you find this conversation with Dr. Kelly insightful, and that her actionable tips empower you to create a more regulated parenting experience.Links and Resources:20% off your first order of Cymbiotika PLUS free shippingFree sample pack with purchase of LMNTLook for Goodwipes on Amazon or in your local grocery store!Follow Dr. Kelly Vincent and Nourish Wellness Group on InstagramDr. Kelly’s Website, and Nourish Wellness Group Website“How to Map Your Nervous System” Blog PostPurchase Dr. Kelly’s “True You: A Self-Discovery Journal” Let’s connect!HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcastHERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreenThis episode was brought to you by the Pivot Ball Change Network.

We are so pleased to have Dr. Tammy Schamuhn on the podcast today! Tammy started her professional career in the classroom as a teacher in inner-city schools in Canada. While she enjoyed teaching, it was clear to her that teaching was not her passion. What she DID love was caring for her students with behavioral issues like anxiety. Tammy went back to school to earn her Master’s Degree in Psychology and now combines her love of teaching with her love of being a therapist on a daily basis by helping children and parents with her platform, Institute of Child Psychology, and her play therapy practice. Tammy is here today to guide us and talk us through all things related to childhood anxiety. We are answering questions like is it normal for children to have anxiety? What does anxiety look like in kids? And when should we, as parents, intervene? We found today’s interview to be SO educational and FULL of mindblowing information. It really hit home for us! If you love today’s episode too, we’d love it if you would share this episode with a friend who needs to hear Tammy’s knowledge!Links & Resources:20% off your first order of Cymbiotika PLUS free shipping Free Shipping at GOODR with code ‘HERSELF’Use code ‘HERself’ on Amazon for 25% off your purchase of GoodwipesFollow Dr. Tammy Schamuhn on Instagram, Facebook, and YoutubeDr. Tammy’s WebsitePurchase Dr. Tammy’s Book; “The Parenting Handbook: Your Guide to Raising Resilient” Let’s connect!HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcastHERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY:

Today’s episode will be the last of the year! We thought this would be the perfect opportunity to discuss moving into 2025 with a healthy mindset. Social media can make it really easy to get swept into the pressure of making New Year’s resolutions or extreme goals of starting a diet and exercise routine. We, Abby and Amy, have learned over the years how to start the new year with sustainable changes and mindset shifts that actually matter to us and our lifestyles. We are going to share our experiences from years past and the things we are shifting for 2025 to help make this our best year yet! We hope today’s episode is helpful for you as we start a new year, and would love it if you could share this episode with a friend! Let’s connect!HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcastHERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreenThis episode was brought to you by the Pivot Ball Change Network.

Happy holidays! This week, we wanted to revisit one of our most popular episodes as we not only are in the holiday season, but also sick season.  This time of year, we are exposed to so many germs and may end up dealing with sick kiddos which can be a really stressful time for parents! Today’s guest is Dr. Anjuli Gans, a board-certified pediatrician and educator who runs the platform Resilient Rascals. She’s a trusted and compassionate provider who empowers parents with the knowledge and tools to tackle sick season. Dr. Anjuli reveals how we as parents can deal with our kids being sick, and what she shares is not only honest, but her tips and advice on this topic is both realistic and practical. We are in this with you, as we’ve certainly been in situations where our kids have been sick and have experienced the impact it has on everyone in the family. We learned so much from Dr. Anjuli today, and we’re so excited for you to learn and use this information as well!Links & Resources:Use code ‘HERself’ on Amazon for 25% off your purchase of GoodwipesFollow Dr. Anjuli on Instagram Dr. Anjuli’s WebsiteHer Resource, Your Baby’s Health HandbookLet’s connect!HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcast HERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcast MEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskiefer MEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreenThis episode was brought to you by the Pivot Ball Change Network.

A few weeks ago we interviewed our husbands with YOUR questions sent in on our Instagram page. What we were not expecting to receive was a lot of questions about navigating in-law relationships! Since so many of you sent in questions on this topic, we thought we’d dedicate an entire episode diving into how our relationships with our in-laws have changed over the years and how we’ve navigated being daughter-in-laws.When it comes to in-laws, everyone has a different story. We’ve seen these relationships go all sorts of directions in our friends’ lives and also in our own. If you’re feeling like your in-law relationship is hard as a parent of young children, you’re not alone. These relationships can be hard! We’ve been there. We’ve learned over the years that in-law relationships are a journey. We understand that today’s episode may not apply to everyone’s situation, and we want to hold space for you if that’s the case. However, if you feel it's appropriate, we hope you find our simple tips about managing expectations and boundaries, communication, and how to deal with the holidays (and more!) helpful and use them to nurture and grow your in-law relationships. Links & Resources:$5 off your first order of GoodrTry LMNT’s chocolate medley pack!Let’s connect!HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcastHERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreenThis episode was brought to you by the Pivot Ball Change Network.

Today on the podcast, we are happy to be hosting Dr. Menije, licensed Psychologist and founder of Embracing You Therapy which specializes in perfectionism, OCD, addiction, and anxiety. Dr. Menije is passionate about turning judgement into compassion, and pain into purpose. She loves helping people explore behavior changes to support their new way of thinking and utilize action goals. This episode will be a deep dive into perfectionism; the addiction to it, why it can create anxiety, and more. With the holidays approaching, we all can fall victim to the feeling of needing to be doing it ALL or MORE. This episode is a great listen for someone who is a perfectionist themselves and wants to learn better strategies to manage their tendencies. On the flip side, this episode also takes a look into relationships where your partner might be the perfectionist, and ways that you can work together to help them process and better cope with their perfectionist ways. Whether you deal with perfectionism, or you love someone who has perfectionistic tendencies, we hope from today’s interview that you learn some practical tools and methods to apply to your everyday stressors or you learn how to support someone you love! Links & Resources:20% off at Vuori Clothing20% off your purchase of ThorneCheck out Forage Kitchen’s new specials, starting in December!Follow Dr. Menije on InstagramDr. Menije’s WebsitePurchase Dr. Menije’s Book; “I Am Enough; Adult Coloring Workbook”Check out Dr. Menije’s Free Overcoming Perfectionism Course!Let’s connect!HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcastHERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreenThis episode was brought to you by the Pivot Ball Change Network.

You asked, we answered! Today, the husbands are back to answer your burning questions on our relationships, parenting, how life has changed since their last sit down with us, and more. Drew and Colin get vulnerable with their honest answers, which is why we love them so much! Whether you want to hear how our families handle filling in our social calendar with sports, parties, and other activities OR you’re here to find out what REALLY goes on behind the scenes of the Green and Kiefer households, we’ve got it here for you. We felt this episode was good timing considering the holiday season is upon us. We all can utilize this time to reflect on our 2024, to recognize the areas in our lives we can improve and the areas we excel. We hope you find today’s episode to be fun, but that you also take away something valuable! Links & Resources:Free sample pack with purchase of LMNT10% off at BETTERHELPLet’s connect!HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcastHERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreenThis episode was brought to you by the Pivot Ball Change Network.
