In this episode of Wildly Well Mamas, I chat with my friend Alyssa—a school psychologist and mom of 2 school-aged kids—about the messy, beautiful reality of raising children who are self-aware and internally motivated when it comes to wellness.

Alyssa shares how she uses reflective parenting and emotional intelligence in both her work and her family life. From asking reflective questions that help kids identify their feelings, to modeling self-awareness herself, Alyssa offers practical tools for creating safe spaces, honoring children’s needs, and supporting them in making choices that feel right for them.

We also talk about the unique dynamics of bicultural family life, conflict resolution with compassion, and why teaching kids to trust their own inner wisdom is one of the greatest gifts we can give them.

This conversation is packed with insights for parents who want to raise kind, conscious kids while also deepening their own self-awareness along the way. 🌿

Food is personal. Tender. Sometimes even controversial. Which is why I’ve hesitated to share my story—until now.

In this solo episode of Wildly Well Mamas, I share my journey of shifting from years as a vegetarian to discovering the power of nutrient-dense, ancestral foods—and how that shift made me feel alive again.

Along the way we’ll explore how nutrition shapes not just our bodies, but our energy, hormones, longevity, and even the legacy we pass on.

In this episode of Wildly Well Mamas, I sit down with powerhouse entrepreneur and mama Nicole Van Logtenberg to explore what it really looks like to build businesses while raising a child—with intention, heart, and vision.

Nicole shares her incredible journey from competitive athlete and world-traveling yoga instructor to yacht captain, real estate investor, and now the founder of multiple thriving companies—Nauti Dutch Rentals and Yacht Standard Cleaning—all while raising her two-year-old daughter.

We dive into:

⚓ Courageously transitioning from yachting to entrepreneurship

⚓ Building businesses without sacrificing wellness or values

⚓ Raising a confident, independent daughter

⚓ Daily rhythms that keep her grounded and thriving

⚓ How motherhood has fueled her drive and shaped her vision

Nicole’s story is a reminder that it’s possible to pursue big dreams while staying anchored in what matters most.

“I’m not raising a follower. I’m raising a leader… a woman who knows her worth.”
