This episode feels a little bit like pulling up a chair at our kitchen table. You’ll hear us in real time ... sharing what’s happening in our lives, what we’re wrestling with, and what we’re excited about.

We talk about learning to work with our cycles (instead of against them), why time apart from our kids can actually make us better moms, and the way new professional adventures are lighting us up , like Alyssa stepping into doula training and Vanessa diving deeper into her book-writing process. Carrie opens up about the pull toward new healing practices, and together we swap stories about creativity, self-care, and giving ourselves permission to not have all the answers.

Think of this episode as a mix of laughter, honesty, and those “me too” moments that make you feel less alone in motherhood. It’s not a masterclass. It’s not a checklist. It’s just us ...in the middle of the mess and magic.

In this powerful conversation, clinical psychologist and author Dr. Gilly Kahn joins us to talk about the often-misunderstood world of ADHD in women. Too often, ADHD is defined through the lens of restless little boys, which leaves girls and women misdiagnosed, mislabeled, and misunderstood.

Dr. Kahn opens up about the emotional dysregulation so many women live with, the shame and “too muchness” they’re told to carry, and how community and compassion can shift the story. We explore why the diagnostic criteria still fails women, what it really feels like to parent while managing ADHD (in yourself or your kids), and why connection and validation matter just as much as tools and strategies.

This isn’t a dry, clinical take...it’s honest, hopeful, and deeply human. You’ll walk away with practical insights, a new lens for understanding ADHD, and permission to stop blaming yourself for systems that were never built with women in mind.

September mornings are no joke. Between back-to-school chaos, missing shoes, forgotten lunches, and kids melting down (while you’re holding back your own), it can feel like you’re already behind before the day even starts. In this episode, we get real about the emotional weight of school transitions, why mornings feel so impossible, and what to do when you and your partner are on totally different pages.

We’ll share how to stop rushing (without everything falling apart), what (dys)regulation actually looks like in real life, and small shifts that can turn chaotic mornings into something almost more calm. If you’ve ever thought, “I can’t be the only one losing it at 8 a.m.,” this conversation is for you.

You’ll leave with:

• A way to feel less frazzled (even when everything’s going wrong)

• Tools for smoother communication with your partner in the morning juggle

• Permission to stop striving for perfect mornings and just show up real

• A reminder that your kids are way more resilient than you think

Because mornings don’t have to break you and you don’t have to do it alone.

In this raw and real conversation, Vanessa, Alyssa, and Carrie take mom guilt out from under the rug and shine a big ol’ light on it.

We dig into where this guilt even came from, why it exploded in the 80s and 90s, and how it’s been cleverly used to keep moms overworked, under-rested, and constantly questioning themselves.

We unpack the difference between rational guilt (the kind that can actually help you grow) and irrational guilt (the kind that slowly eats away at your joy), and share how we each wrestle with it in our own motherhood.

This is not your typical “just let it go” chat. We’re asking harder questions....like who actually benefits from you feeling guilty all the time?

And more importantly… what would it look like to parent from freedom and authenticity instead?

If you’ve ever ended the day feeling like you didn’t do enough (even though you did everything), this one’s for you.

This week’s episode of the Mama Healing Hub Podcast is a breath of fresh air for every mom who’s ever felt the pressure to get the “perfect” family photo.

We’re joined by Nicole Harris, the heart behind Wild & Rooted sessions, photography that celebrates the messy, unfiltered, beautifully human moments of family life. Forget the stiff poses and forced smiles. Nicole invites families to exhale, move, play, and just be themselves, capturing memories that feel like your life, not a photoshoot.

This conversation isn’t just about photography, it’s about slowing down enough to notice your own life. It’s about the emotional weight of motherhood, why we often hide the parts of our lives that are the most tender, and how real moments become the keepsakes we’ll treasure the most.

There were a few tear-jerker moments in this one, and by the end, you might just look at your everyday chaos with a little more love.

If you’ve been craving permission to ditch perfection and see the magic in the mess....this one’s for you.

🎧 Listen now and let this episode be your reminder that your life is already beautiful as it is.

What if your path back to feeling strong didn’t start with the gym...but with your breath?
In this powerful and refreshingly honest episode, Vanessa and Carrie sit down with Dr. Son Nguyen, a multi-passionate healer, chiropractor, acupuncturist, movement therapist, and pre/postnatal expert, to talk about the real stuff nobody told us about pelvic floor health and postpartum recovery.

Dr. Son shares her wisdom from over 20 years of experience working with women’s bodies, reminding us that “movement is life,” but so is rest. We talk about what strength means in motherhood, how to reconnect to your body when it feels like a stranger, and the small but potent ways we can invite healing into our daily lives.

This episode is for you if:

• You’ve ever felt disconnected from your body after having a baby

• You’re dealing with leakage, core weakness, or tension and don’t know where to start

• You want movement to feel joyful again—not like a chore

• You’re craving a deeper conversation about what recovery and strength really mean in this season of life

👀 Listen in to find out:
What’s more effective than kegels (hint: it starts with breath), how to make movement doable when you're short on time, and why the pelvic floor is about so much more than just fitness.
