ABOUT THIS EPISODE September is Suicide Prevention Month. It’s so important that we talk about this to reduce the stigma, especially among moms. Moms experience the added burden of worrying that people will think we are unable to be mothers because we have mental health challenges. What we need is help, not judgment. In this episode, I share tips and strategies you can use to work on healing your depression, anxiety, and low self-worth. I used to have severe postpartum depression and anxiety, and what I share in this episode helped me get out of that darkness and get on the path to healing. If you found this episode helpful, please share it with a friend. Thank you!

ABOUT THIS EPISODE Self-care is so dang hard to practice, especially on a consistent basis. Why? Some might say that we just need better time management tips. Others might say that if we understood how beneficial self-care is, we would prioritize it with less hesitation. But, if all moms needed was more tips, hacks, and information, we would all be practicing self-care consistently – but, we’re not. In fact, many of us are struggling to practice basic self-care, like showering and brushing our teeth, and I think it’s because beyond the tips, the hacks, and the information, many of us are triggered by self-care because it forces us to confront trauma and harmful beliefs that keep us stuck in cycles of self-neglect because it’s familiar and it aligns with what we believe about ourselves and what society believes about us as women and as mothers. In this episode, I unpack this with clear examples so that you can begin to do the work of confronting the experiences and beliefs that are holding you back from the love and care you deserve.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE We all feel it, but we don’t talk about it that much. I’m talking about the pressure many of us women, and especially mothers, feel to be exceptional at everything we do — parenting our children, showing up in our marriage, our fitness, our performance at work, our ability to clean and organize our homes. I could go on. There is this pressure to be excellent at an unrealistic number of things, and it’s hurting us. I’ve been noticing this more and more lately, and I’ve been particularly paying attention to how this pressure influences my decisions and day-to-day behavior — and I’m not loving what I’m seeing. This podcast episode is all about bringing this topic out in the open and helping you pinpoint how this pressure is hurting you and actually release it so you can be a more carefree and authentic version of yourself.  SELF-CARE RESOURCES ✨ FREE Self-Care Guide + Printable Planner Pages Overcome decision fatigue and learn about the 4 types of self-care that will actually make you feel your best! https://www.miahemstad.com/guide 😌 Rituals that Replenish Workshop If you’re stuck in the burnout cycle, and you struggle to find time and energy for your self-care, this 3-week instant access workshop will help you get in touch with your true needs and learn practical ways to replenish yourself. https://www.miahemstad.com/rituals 💌 The No Longer Last Letter Get resources, tips, and inspiration to help you prioritize your health, happiness, and well-being. https://www.miahemstad.com/letter⁠ 💕 The No Longer Last Journey™: Live Coaching Program An immersive 12-month program with classes, community, and coaching to help you build a no longer last life one month at a time. https://www.miahemstad.com/nolongerlast⁠ ABOUT MIA I'm Mia—wife, mom of 2, abuse survivor, and trauma-informed self-care coach.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE When I became a mom, I didn’t have anyone to talk to for tips or advice. In my circle of friends, I was the first to have a baby, so people were calling me! It was such a hard and overwhelming time marked by so much mom-guilt and the silent struggle with postpartum depression and anxiety. I made a lot of mistakes and learned so much. In this episode, you’ll hear me share my top 5 mistakes I made as a new mom, and what I wish I did instead. I hope that this episode can help make motherhood just a little bit easier for the next person.  SELF-CARE RESOURCES 📝 NEW!

ABOUT THIS EPISODE Don’t you hate it when people tell you that rest is simply a choice? I know I do. For moms, we can’t simply choose between taking care of our children, for example, and taking a nap. There are some responsibilities in life that we HAVE to show up for. So, how do we rest when there are so many important things on our plates? In this podcast episode, I share advice and tips on how to get better at resting and replenishing yourself, alongside the demands that are a valid and normal part of your life.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE If you’re someone who struggles with cramming a bunch of new goals and habits into the beginning of a new year, and then get stuck in a shame spiral when things inevitably don’t go the way you planned, this episode is for you! As a reformed personal development junkie, recovering perfectionist, and reformed workaholic, I have learned a much gentler and effective approach to goal setting and building sustainable self-care practices that actually support you, rather than contribute to a harsh internal dialogue that you’re not good enough and keep you trapped in the burnout cycle.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE Mothers have way too much on our plates—hands down. It’s next to impossible to prioritize your well-being on a regular basis and avoid burnout when you don’t have a fair and equitable partnership with your husband / partner. Gender stereotypes about what a “good” wife and mom are supposed to do are keeping us doing a vast majority of the household labor, parenting, and carrying the mental load. In this episode, I’m sharing 7 things that have helped my husband and I A LOT when it comes to navigating the responsibilities of work, home, and parenting.
