HERself

Alyssa Blask Campbell dives into a topic that is real in this community - emotional intelligence.  Not just for raising our children to learn EI but to help us understand it in the process. As an expert in this field, Alyssa is no stranger to how dysregulated emotions for an adult can impact a child and she dives into real scenarios on how we (and our partners) can learn, repair, and grow in this important area of parenting.@seed.and.sew has an abundance of resources on this topic as well as others that will help you build confidence on your parenting journey.

Today’s episode is inspired by something that we go through as hosts of this podcast which you don’t see as listeners, and that is what goes on behind the scenes as we deal with our guests. Every once in a while we have changes or cancellations, and things can get a little bit stressful for us as a result when these curveballs happen. Both of us often ruminate or worry about the impact that it has on our schedule, and that is what we’re focusing on here.In this episode, we not only share specific strategies that you can use to overcome rumination, but we also reveal our own personal experiences with it and how we’re working to reduce, or eliminate it, as well. Rumination isn’t something that you’re going to solve tomorrow, but just take one step in the right direction whenever you feel that it is popping up for you and see what happens! If you enjoyed this episode, we’d be so honored if you shared it on Instagram, tagging us @herselfpodcast, and make sure to share it with a friend or someone that you think can benefit from this important message! 10% off at BETTERHELP: http://betterhelp.com/herself 15% off at GOODR with code ‘herself15’: https://goodr.comLinks & Resources:Abby’s Appearance on Jenna Overbaugh’s PodcastUntamed by Glennon DoyleLet’s connect!HERSELF SHOP: https://herself-podcast-favorites.myshopify.com HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcast HERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcast MEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskiefer MEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreen

This episode is being released the week of July 4th in the United States, and we realize that with the Independence Day holiday, you may be a bit busier this week spending time with family and friends - but you must relisten to this episode! Today we are bringing you one of our Greatest Hits episodes with HERself Expert, Vanessa Marin, a sex therapist who takes the taboo out of sex. This is such an important topic that seldom gets discussed in this much detail, even among close friends.Join us this week as we uncover how sex, conversation and releationships really go hand-in-hand, and where we as women (and couples) can find joy and more confidence in this key area of our lives. We can’t wait to hear what you get from this episode with Vanessa! If you enjoy this episode, we’d be so honored if you shared it on Instagram, tagging @vanessamarintherapy and @herselfpodcast. MEET Vanessa: https://www.instagram.com/vanessamarintherapy/ $20 off first purchase at ROTHY’S: http://rothys.com/herself30 Days free with withopen.com/herself and promo code HERSELFLinks & Resources:Vanessa’s Website & InstagramHer Podcast, Pillow Talks Let’s connect!HERSELF SHOP: https://herself-podcast-favorites.myshopify.com HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcast HERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcast MEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskiefer MEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreen

We’ve got a special treat for you today, as we bring you a conversation we had with the amazing Dr. Chelsea Jackson Roberts. Chelsea earned her teaching credentials and later completed her MA followed by her Ph.D. from the Division of Educational Studies at Emory University in 2014. It is during her experience as a classroom teacher that she began to make connections between literacy development, yoga and other mindfulness practices. Now she’s able to teach hundreds of thousands of people, including celebrity supporters and clientele such as Shonda Rhimes and Jennifer Garner - and she really helped Amy restore after the long pandemic parenting days too! Chelsea is such an inspiration to us, starting as a teacher and now being on a big platform that she is serving people so well on, and we are so happy that you get that chance to learn from her today. Listen in as she shares more about her journey, including how she is approaching being a mom for the very first time, and Chelsea gives us all a reminder that showing up as ourselves is enough.  If you enjoy this episode, we’d be so honored if you shared it on Instagram, tagging @chelsealovesyoga and @herselfpodcast. MEET Chelsea: https://www.instagram.com/chelsealovesyoga/ 10% off at BETTERHELP: http://betterhelp.com/herself 20% off at THIRDLOVE: http://thirdlove.com/herselfLinks & Resources:Chelsea’s Website & InstagramHer Non-Profit, Red Clay YogaJoin Chelsea on Peloton!Let’s connect!HERSELF SHOP: https://herself-podcast-favorites.myshopify.com HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcast HERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcast

Covid has finally hit the entire Green household, and it resulted in a full week of rearranging plans and alternating childcare. Colin and I thought that this would be the perfect time to record an episode with just the two of us, coming to you from our studio (which happens to be our master bedroom, for the time being)! Today we are focusing on some of the biggest obstacles that we deal with as a family, while also sharing how we’re finding strategies to get through them. We have a feeling that many of our pain points may just be the same ones that your family is going through as well! Drew and Amy will be doing an interview with each other for an upcoming episode on the podcast, and you won’t want to miss that one! If you are enjoying this type of content, we’d love it if you shared this episode and let us know what you took away from hearing a new perspective on some of the biggest things that we deal with in parenthood, as well as partnership! 10% off at BETTERHELP: http://betterhelp.com/herself 30 Days free with withopen.com/herself and promo code HERSELFLinks & Resources:131.

Today we’re excited to be welcoming Emily Oster back on the podcast! The last time Emily joined us to debunk many of the myths we hear as parents, and today she’s specifically sharing her expertise on how we can be more confident in the decisions we’re making as moms with school-aged children. Emily Oster is a Professor of Economics at Brown University and the author of Expecting Better, Cribsheet and The Family Firm. We were so glad that Emily came back to talk about this topic, because the decisions we must make do get trickier as our kids get older. This is the stage that we are entering right now with our little ones, and we know that many of you are in the same season or getting close to it, so we hope you find the information that Emily shares valuable to you. To hear more great advice from her, we encourage you to check Episode 98, the last time she was here to chat with us!We’d love it if you shared the episode to your Instagram Stories and tag us, @herselfpodcast and @profemilyoster. If you could do us a favor and write a review wherever you listen to the podcast, we read every single one of them and are so grateful for your support in helping us grow the podcast. MEET Emily: https://www.instagram.com/profemilyoster/ 10% off at BETTERHELP: http://betterhelp.com/herself $20 off first purchase at ROTHY’S: http://rothys.com/herselfLinks & Resources:Emily’s Website, Instagram and Facebook All of Her Books Get Emily’s ParentData Newsletter 98.

With many of us celebrating Memorial Day this week, we thought we’d throw it back to one of the most shared and listened to HERself episodes of all time! This was Episode 3, our very first “Bring On The Men” episode, and it was also our very first one where we had guests on. Drew and Colin joined us to talk about becoming a true partner, and they shared about dividing household tasks, entering parenthood, and that 3-letter-bad-word we refer to as “nag” - plus how to ditch it for good! There is just so much gold in this episode, whether you’re hearing it for the very first time or you’ve been a HERself listener right from the start! If this episode resonates with you, we’d love to hear your biggest takeaway and feedback.

Today’s episode features a really important conversation with Britt Hawthorne, who is an anti-racism educator, teacher, speaker, visionary and advocate. We are such huge fans of Britt and her energy is so infectious that we could not wait to dive into this interview and to share it with you. What we love about this conversation with Britt is that she explained things in such a non-judgmental way and she answered the questions that so many of us have. Best of all, she gives us the permission to have these tough conversations with our parenting partners and children, as well as providing language to use and her advice for handling anti-racism when it arises. We’d encourage you to pre-order Britt’s upcoming book, Raising Antiracist Children: A Practical Parenting Guide (which we cannot wait to read!) and watch our Instagram this week as we’ll be sharing more great resources from Britt. If this episode resonates with you and you think it could help someone in your life, we’d love it if you shared it to your Instagram Stories and tag us, @herselfpodcast and @britthawthorne. MEET Britt: https://www.instagram.com/britthawthorne/ 10% off at BETTERHELP: http://betterhelp.com/herself 15% off at GOODR with code ‘herself15’: https://goodr.com Links & Resources:Britt’s Website, Blog & Instagram Pre-Order Her Book, Raising Antiracist Children: A Practical Parenting Guide Sign Up for Britt’s Weekend Newsletter Her Anti-Racism Resources for Teachers and Parents Montessori for Social Justice Jacqueline Woodson (Author) & Jason Reynolds (Author)Zoo Day: A My First Experience Book by Anne RockwellThat’s Not the Monster We Ordered by Tara BlackOur Instagram Post, “It’s ok to say no”HERSELF SHOP: https://herself-podcast-favorites.myshopify.com HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcast HERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcast MEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskiefer MEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreen

Motherhood can be hard, and that’s why we like to bring experts on to the podcast to help you, and us, navigate each day as moms. Today’s guest is Kaitlin Soule, a therapist, maternal mental health and anxiety expert, author, and she’s also a HERself listener. It’s been so fun for us to connect with Kaitlin over the last couple of months, and for us to get the opportunity to read her new book, A Little Less of a Hot Mess: The Modern Mom's Guide to Growth & Evolution as we prepared for this interview. Kaitlin shares so many tips, strategies and advice for moms in this interview, and she really is someone who walks the walk by giving herself permission to be fully who she is, and we hope that this conversation allows you to do the same. If this episode resonates with you and you think it could help someone in your life, we’d love it if you shared it to your Instagram Stories and tag us, @herselfpodcast and @wellnotesfor her. MEET Kaitlin: https://www.instagram.com/wellnotesforher/ 10% off at BETTERHELP: http://betterhelp.com/herself Links & Resources:Kaitlin’s Website, Instagram & Podcast Her Book, A Little Less of a Hot Mess: The Modern Mom's Guide to Growth & Evolution Kaitlin’s Article on Scary MommyGlennon Doyle’s BooksBrené Brown’s Books Eve Rodsky’s Books 106.
