About this listen

Hello and Welcome to Mamas N’ the Wild – a podcast where we talk all things mother and womanhood. We bring the raw, the honest, and especially, the wild.

Here, we believe that everything is worth exploring. The more you know, the more you can become the best version of yourself. That’s why we’re here to ask ALL of the questions, explore what’s out there, interview both the experts and the everyday woman with her feet on the ground. You might discover something for you that can improve your life that you didn’t even know you existed. We can’t give you your answers in becoming the mother and woman that you want to become, but we promise you will learn something and we hope that it will help you in becoming her. Welcome to your tribe of women who aren’t afraid to ask questions, willing to take on the hard conversations, and believe that motherhood can look however you want it to.

We stand for women being able to trust in themselves, in their bodies and to find all of the love possible in being a mother and a woman.

Welcome to the Wild. We are SO glad you're here.

    Jul 30 2025

    In this second full-length episode of Mamas in the Wild, Amanda and Heather dive into the often-overlooked conversations that can make the transition to parenthood smoother, stronger, and more connected. Whether you’re actively trying to conceive or simply wondering what’s ahead, you’ll learn:

    • Relationship Check-In: Why premarital coaching or therapy can unearth blind spots and strengthen your partnership before baby.
    • Core Conversations: From home-birth vs. hospital, vaccinations, circumcision, to discipline styles and gentle parenting—how to decide what truly aligns with your family.
    • Financial & Household Logistics: Budgeting, childcare chores, and sharing the mental load—setting realistic expectations ahead of sleepless nights.
    • Extended Family & Boundaries: Crafting a united front with in-laws, establishing healthy boundaries, and protecting your new family dynamic.
    • Emotional Preparedness: Understanding how becoming a parent transforms you (and your partner) in ways you can’t yet imagine—and how to support one another through it.
