Have you listened to this week’s episode yet?
We all think about how to best take care of our bodies and nourish our babies while we’re pregnant. How many of us understand that this sentiment is just as crucial in the postpartum phase of life?
It can take women 18 months or more to start feeling normal. The amount of nutritional depletion from pregnancy and breast-feeding takes a significant toll on our bodies, not to mention all of the new adjustments to becoming “mom”..whether that be new or many time “mom”. Every new baby is a new adjustment.
gives us the lowdown on what we need to be paying attention to in the postpartum period. We need to treat our bodies with the same support after birth that we doing during.
from and .thenourishedbeginnings and had such an amazing conversation about what it means to be supported in postpartum and as a new parent.
This episode offers valuable insights into the addictive nature of phones and emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries.

Christina Miros is a first generation Greek American, born and raised in North Jersey. Christina is an ICU nurse working at a level-1 trauma center and a special-needs mother to a beautiful 10-year old girl, Isabel.
Christina’s love for food and cooking influence come from her Greek upbringing.
At age 17 she moved to Arizona to attend Arizona State University, making her a Sundevil. Christina drove across the country and while living in Arizona visited various regions on the west coast and in Mexico. At this young age, Christina learned a lot about herself and realized there is a whole different world beyond New York City and North Jersey. This exposure to other parts of our country is where her love for regional cuisine flourished. Having grown up close to a cultural melting pot like New York City, as well as her strong Greek roots, her take on food tends to lean towards these elevated global flavors.

This week we talk all about our book club and how important community is to us. We don’t want to just talk to you, we want to talk with you. Community in a world of social media doesn’t feel so social, but we can change that when we authentically connect with one another.
How often do you choose yourself in relationships? Tune in to our episode with relationship expert and therapist Lauren Walsh from
Has a breakup ever sucked the life out of you to a point where your life got turned completely upside down?
Did you suddenly feel like you were running in place and years behind everyone else, and your entire reality was called into question?
And did you come to realize that the breakup became that jumping off point to choosing you?
In this episode, talks about why it is so hard yet so necessary to choose you in all relationships, and how we can heal and support ourselves through some of the most emotionally draining experiences.
Sometimes we think we lose the upper hand when we apologize, especially to our kids. Instead, we cultivate connection and trust when we can own up to how what we said or did caused harm.
Bonus points: our kids will know what healthy relationships look like because we modeled it for them!
We think respectful parenting falls somewhere in between treating your child like a real human being— letting them explore feelings and struggles, while also setting boundaries to keep them safe and help them navigate the world within dotted lines.
The truth is they need both. A life with the space to learn for themselves and one with with expectations to help them learn from right and wrong.
We talk a lot about holding the mom after birth just we much as we hold the baby. But sometimes we look at mom’s well-being only as an individual, and not as one half of a pair.
For mom to feel supported, she needs a partner who is emotionally available, capable, and can show up in all the ways she needs. That means her partner’s emotional needs also need to be attended to so that they have the capacity to be present. To work as a team.
Behind every strong family is a dynamic interplay of individuals, each contributing their unique energy and essence. It’s not just about one person’s well-being; it’s about the collective harmony. When mom feels supported, dad thrives, and vice versa. It’s the delicate balance of holding space for everyone to express themselves authentically, to feel their emotions, and to be truly seen and heard. In this space of mutual understanding and empathy, we forge deep connections and create a safety net of support that uplifts us all. Because in the end, it’s not about being perfect, but about being present for each other, through thick and thin.

Have you ever started down the path of one career and then you got there and wanted to abandon ship? Maybe we started our college degree with a profession in mind, or we knew there were options, but they still felt limited. Sometimes the destination isn’t what we expected and we run through a cycle of emotions from guilt, to shame, to feeling stuck and back again.
We all know the power of the pivot but do we know how to find creative solutions to navigating our careers when we can’t seem to find the right fit?
The key 🔑 is threading our education and experiences, not discounting our interests and passion, and learning to incorporate what we need in a “role” or from a boss, or our schedule to help us articulate what we really want and then how to find it.
Don’t underestimate the power of your skills and expertise! 💡 Whether you’re switching industries or exploring a new role, leverage your experience and education to carve out a fresh path. It’s all about finding clarity, adapting, learning, and embracing new opportunities. 💼✨
Does this sound like you or who you aspire to be?
When we judge ourselves for needing help, we inadvertently judge others for offering it. Remember, reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness.

We all want to be more productive, but what if the way we’re working is counterproductive? What if we told you that you can do more and lean into your intuition, creativity, and energy when you learn to give yourself space?
Sing it with me 🎤 Don’t go chasing waterfalls and don’t go chasing all the goals…
When you align your worth with productivity there is such an adrenaline rush when you’re plugging hard towards your goal, and then when you accomplish what you put your mind (and all your time and energy) to, you feel like you just ran the NYC marathon….and then you start your training the next day for your next race
We ask you to think about this given our NYC marathon example:
1. Did you give yourself time to celebrate and wholeheartedly feel proud? It took you a significant amount of time to get here, you’re allowed to soak in that pride for more than a few days or weeks.
2. What’s the root of the next “why”? Is it a “I should do this because it’s expected of me”?Or a “It will build my endurance”? Or an “everyone else is doing x,y,z”? OR is it because this feels like a calling and you’re trusting your intuition?
3. Is this really the next goal? Or are you struggling to articulate what you really want and this just seems like the next best move, because standing still and not knowing what to do feels unproductive and uncomfortable?
4. Are you saying “hell yes” when the next opportunity presents itself? If not, are you saying “No”?
“Do you link your sense of value to today’s productivity achievements?”
Embrace the unknown with open arms. Fear and excitement are two sides of the same coin – it’s all about perspective. When life feels overwhelming, take a moment to breathe. Your breath is the bridge between fear and excitement.
Do you allow yourself to pause and listen to your inner voice? Do you trust that what it’s telling you is true?
Sometimes we all need a little help to relax.
Here are a few of our favorite ways to unwind. Comment below to let us know yours!
Fill in your blanks! Often we can’t see what’s coming when we are confronted with loss, Blind trust is the only trust—we cannot control what comes, what doesn’t, how others will respond, how we will feel.
But just because we anticipate the outcome, doesn’t mean it will become reality. Trust means knowing we will be okay regardless of the outcome.
And sometimes it’s better. We just didn’t see it coming.
One of Sam’s struggle spots. Recovering people pleaser 🙋🏻♀️ BTW have you listened to our episode on people pleasing? Episode 🎙️ 9
People pleasing isn’t really about pleasing someone else. It’s really about us pleasing ourselves—needing to feel and safe from someone else’s disapproval. We are avoiding the discomfort of them being mad, upset, disappointed, ______. So when we people please it’s not to keep them happy, it’s about us still feeling seen as valuable, important, dependable, ______. Essentially we are seeking external validation…and then comes explaining and over explaining.
We set a boundary and then explain it away still hoping for the approval when in fact a true boundary doesn’t require an explanation. What we need is enough
What’s in for us? What’s out in 2024?
In: 👌🏼
presence with family
getting more help
going outside
gardening
focusing in on only the most important things
taking better care of my hair
just doing the dang thing
planning & scheduling my time
fueling my body properly
intentional and consistent movement
being fully present
investing my time where it is most important
pausing to rest
reading physical books
saying “no” when I mean “no”. Not maybe or squeezing it in
confidence in my own creativity and voice
Out: ✌🏼
Endless Scrolling
Procrastinating
Letting what others might think guide my life
Saying yes to everything
Trying to do it all myself
Taking responsibility to fix everything that’s wrong in the world
Scrolling to compare myself to others’ content and success
Procrastinating & using time inefficiently
Overscheduling my to-do list
Making everything a priority
Limiting beliefs of how far I can go
Overreacting to things that don’t deserve my energy
What if your New Year’s resolutions were more about reflection and planning…like really planning HOW and WHY rather than just diving head first into what we “should” or “want”.
The trick to actually keeping your intentions is understanding your mindset and perspective. The “why” drives the “how” to get to the “want”.
Name that movie. The limit does not exist.
But in real talk we do all have a limit. What’s the most we can take? What’s he most we can give? And to whom?
Do we ever give enough to ourselves? Enough kindness or support or love? What about grace or forgiveness? Or do we prefer to berate ourselves?
A listener sent me this message after listening to our most recent episode on giftgiving, and our thoughts on how to give and receive in another person’s quite literal shoes. I have a few thoughts.
1. This story relates, so unbelievably closely to a story that we shared on the podcast about a decorative pencil. I received in a grab bag in first grade that devastated me. I can’t help but think that after receiving this message, there are so many more of you who have similar experiences as a child or even as an adult where you at first felt slighted, but then with guidance and experience had a new perspective. I hope that my story reminded you of your own experience, and we would love to hear about it, because we are here to normalize all of it… No shame.
2. This is the other amazing byproduct of having a podcast— building a community where you can reach out and share and feel comfortable and safe enough to do so. I have a full cup this week from everyone, sharing, not only their favorite episode so far, but how they can relate, and how our conversations make you feel that you have a seat at our table, because you do.
