HERself

We are honored to have Dr. Aliza Pressman back on the show today. She was a guest on episode #41 and also hosts her own podcast; Raising Good Humans, where she interviews very knowledgeable and renowned parenting experts.What we love about Dr. Aliza is that she parents the parent. She brings the latest research in child development and helps parents with the things that we deal with every, single day. Throughout this episode we bring in our own experiences and sift through ways to not only make parenting easier but also more enjoyable. Dr. Aliza shares the through line that all her guests agree on and you might be surprised to hear that it’s actually way simpler than you might think. We cover how we can keep our information intake at a manageable level when we live in a world where we are bombarded with information overload. We talk about resilience and how we can help our kiddos self regulate, how we prevent passing on our own worries, and whether or not that should even be the goal.As always, we appreciate all the tags, ratings, and reviews. We are trying to grow our download numbers and every share helps us do just that.

It’s Amy & Abby here this week. We are talking about five questions we’ve asked ourselves recently and we think everyone else should ask themselves these questions too. The whole point of this episode is that all of our answers will be unique. We will give you prompts, and share our own answers to the questions, but we want you to take them and  run with them.We hope that these questions give you something to think about and allow you to do the type of self reflection that you deserve.Sponsor: 30% off Blissy Pillowcases: https://blissy.com/pages/herself code: HERSELFSponsor: 10% off at BETTERHELP: http://betterhelp.com/herselfLinks & Resources:Core Values ExerciseLet’s connect!HERSELF SHOP: https://herself-podcast-favorites.myshopify.comHERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcastHERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreenThis episode was produced and edited by @pivotballchange.

If you are in a romantic partnership of any sort you are going to love today’s conversation. We sit down with Elizabeth Earnshaw who is a licensed marriage and family therapist. She is also a mom, author, premarital counselor, and she’s the voice behind the very popular IG account @lizlistens.What we love about Liz is that she is an expert at navigating conflict in relationships. She not only teaches couples who are just beginning their partnerships but she also helps couples that have been together for a long time. Liz shares tips on the nonnegotiables every couple must have in order for their relationship to be successful. She shares her best advice on how to solve conflicts we get into and how we can close the loop so that we can move forward in a healthy way. She also just affirms that sometimes we just need a little tough love and sometimes we just need a little change.

Today we are so excited to have a conversation with Whiteny Goodman, the radically honest psychotherapist behind the very popular Instagram account @sitwithwhit. You may have seen her information and content in dozens of publications including the New York Times and New York Magazine.We love this interview because it takes the toxically positive environment that many of us are living in and it gives it a little bit of a shift. We don’t want to be walking around in complete negativity but there definitely is a balance and Whitney walks us through ways we can find that balance while helping ourselves and our relationships in the process.Whitney covers everything from why she got started with toxic positivity to how we can show up for a friend who is going through something we might not fully understand. She also helps us identify the connection between people pleasing and toxic positivity.If you haven’t already, we would love for you to leave us a review. Reviews are so important to podcasts and help us get our message across to new ears!Whitney’s InstagramWhitney’s TikTokSitwithwhit.comWhitney’s SubstackSponsor: 10% off at BETTERHELP: http://betterhelp.com/herselfSponsor: 30% off Blissy Pillowcases: https://blissy.com/pages/herself code: HERSELFLet’s connect!HERSELF SHOP: https://herself-podcast-favorites.myshopify.comHERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcastHERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreenThis episode was produced and edited by @pivotballchange.

We are so excited to introduce today’s guest, Faith Broussard Cade. We have been long time fans of hers and she is the woman behind the movement of self-care. Faith’s handwritten notes that she shares online tend to go viral. She started writing these notes as a means to heal from a personal accident and in today’s interview she explains how her messages have helped many others heal as well.If you are someone who struggles with rest, Faith shares how we can turn that to-do list off in our head and actually take some time for ourselves. She shares a list of self-care items that we can benefit from that are inexpensive and tangible ideas to pull ourselves up from the bottom of our priority list.We would love for you to do two things for us this week. 1. Make sure you are subscribed to our show so these new episodes show up for you every week and 2. Leave us a review. Those help us get our important conversations, like this one with Faith, to more ears!Faith’s InstagramFaith’s TwitterFaith’s Facebookwww.fleurdelisspeaks.comSponsor: 10% off at BETTERHELP: http://betterhelp.com/herselfSponsor: 20% off at CHOMPS with code ‘herself20’: https://chomps.com/Let’s connect!HERSELF SHOP: https://herself-podcast-favorites.myshopify.comHERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcastHERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreenThis episode was produced and edited by @pivotballchange.

With this episode we are going to take you behind the scenes. We usually do this type of thing over on Patreon but we know many of you are interested in more episodes where we are just being ourselves and talking about what we are going through. We would love to hear what you think about this type of episode and if you’d like to hear more like it.We go through what it is like for us to have different social needs than our partner. For Amy, it can be a struggle when she is more of a homebody and her spouse is more social. Or the opposite can be true as well. Abby tends to be more of a busy body and, at times, wishes her partner would have more real-life friends. Navigating these situations is tough and we chat about what works for us in these scenarios.If you’ve been a long time listener then you know that we both have been going through our own health journeys. As we enter our mid-thirties, we are finding that this season of life can be challenging. Especially if you’ve had children. Both of us give you an update on where we are currently at and what tools we use to help us feel our best.We are doing a book club this month, so if you aren’t a member of our Patreon community yet, be sure to head over there to join us for a monthly bonus episode and to participate in this month’s book; The Measure by Nikki Erlick.Sponsor: 20% off at Vuori Clothing: https://vuoriclothing.com/herself Let’s connect!HERSELF SHOP: https://herself-podcast-favorites.myshopify.comHERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcastHERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreenThis episode was produced and edited by @pivotballchange.

You guys are in for a treat today because we have Erica Djossa; formerly known as Happy as a Mother, now known as Momwell, on the show. We feel like her mission and our mission here at the HERself podcast run side by side. We both try to get women and mothers the best information possible.Throughout this interview we nod our heads along with all the advice Erica gives on topics including the invisible load in motherhood, what causes the feeling of being on edge, toxic positivity and so much more.At the end of the episode, Erica speaks on Dads. We get asked so often, from you, about how your partner/husband can get resources. We wanted to make sure we covered that inside this interview as well. Because we all know Dads and partners struggle too.If you enjoyed this episode please tag both the @herselfpodcast and @momwell on Instagram! MEET EricaErica’s Reconnect BundleMomwell.comMomwell PodcastPatreon: patreon.com/herselfpodcastSponsor: 7 Day Free Trial at PairedLet’s connect!HERSELF SHOP: https://herself-podcast-favorites.myshopify.comHERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcastHERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreen
