I can't believe it has already been 12 incredibly fast weeks of season 2 for this podcast! Thank you so much to all my dedicated and supportive listeners, I SO appreciate each and every one of you. In this season finale, I share my reflections from producing this podcast and how it has helped me grow as an individual. I share some actionable takeaways that you can apply to your life and also some resources for you to sink your mind into, including Marie Forleo's book: "Everything is Figureoutable".  I hope you have enjoyed this show, for now, I will be taking an indefinite pause on production to focus on other things in my life and not feel like I'm being pulled in too many different directions, but this has been a lifechanging experience for me and a new skill set I'm so grateful to have developed.

Hello and welcome to the wander mom diaries podcast! Today you’ll be hearing Kalee’s story.

She is an IVF mother who did a lot of research to find the correlation between infertility and environmental toxins and was surprised to realize how much was out there that was harmful.  So she took action, cleaned out her house, and had success with the fertility treatments. After the struggle of trying to find gender-neutral, safe clothing for her little one, she took a giant step towards entrepreneurship and created her own modern gender-neutral baby boutique called Nic&Orie! 

If you’re listening to this and have struggled with fertility, we have linked Kalee’s blog in the show notes where she shares her journey of struggle in trying to become a mother in hopes that you realize you’re not alone and there is support for you. We touch on how environmental toxins have been connected to infertility and you can dive more into what you should or should not have in your home by going to https://www.ewg.org/. Don’t forget to check out the links to her socials so you can explore her adorable, safe and sustainable clothing company. 

She has even offered a 15% discount to anyone listening to this podcast! Just use wandermoms15 at checkout. 

I hope you enjoy this inspiring story of a resilient entrepreneur momma!

Hello and welcome to the wander mom diaries podcast! I’m your host Mandie and during season 2, we have the theme of self-care, overcoming adversities, and women empowerment, this episode dives into all three! I would like to give a preliminary warning that suicide is talked about during this conversation which can be triggering. With the pandemic, suicide and depression statistics have increased, so I have added suicide prevention resources in the show notes for your reference. During this conversation, you’ll hear Dr. Marisa Naismith’s incredible story of overcoming one challenge after another and hear empowering messages about self-care and finding your voice. Marisa grew up in Australia and has been in the music industry as a singer from her early teens and is now a singing coach and music industry mentor. Marisa also fosters singing communities around the world so my original intent was to discuss that, but as she kept sharing her story, I ended up scrapping the questions I originally planned and just went with the flow of the conversation and I think the result is truly impactful. I hope you enjoy this moving conversation with Marisa!

Today’s episode is different from all the rest so far, and that is because it is an actual diary entry from a resilient mother in the Philippines named Myrna Fe. During Fe’s interview, we had a lot of recording issues with the sound, so I asked her to create her own solo cast so we could still share her story. I love the opportunity to hear stories from mothers around the world, so if you would like to submit your own solo cast to the show, send me an email at wandermomdiaries@gmail.com. If I were to pick one word to describe Fe, it would have to be a fighter. She was a fighter making ends meet as a young single mom, she was a fighter in making adventure and exploration a core value between her and her daughter, and today she still fights against the odds after a risky spine operation that has left her much less mobile than she used to be and need to look for new employment opportunities. All of these adversities have led to some amazing things for Fe, along with the enthusiasm to take on new challenges and opportunities. I think I’ve said enough, I’ll let Fe fill you in on her inspiring story.

Welcome to this episode about how you can start your journey to self-discovery. This season’s theme is self-care, and understanding yourself and knowing why you are the way you are is a critical step towards taking action to improve your life. Why? Because sometimes we do things and we don’t really understand why, for better or for worse. When you understand yourself, then you can move forward and make choices that fulfill you as a person. Gaining clarity on who you are is also extremely energizing and empowering.

So this episode is about a journey, but a journey to the heart, soul, and overall self. 

What I’m going to share with you today are the steps I personally took to self-discovery that I found extremely helpful.  I finally understand why I am the way I am, what I value and why, and what I don’t value and why. I am also going to share some excellent resources that helped me along the way.

Today I have a fun conversation with a fellow educator, Nellie Medow. Nellie is a mom of three boys and shares her insight into what it is like to change careers later in life to help spark her energy and focus. This conversation is full of bite-size take-always that will help empower you to do the next right thing for yourself. Whether it is trying something new, managing your time better, overcoming mom-guilt, finding your support group, or realizing the benefits of paying for childcare, there are many different topics we talk about and you’re going to love it!
