Why does everything feel like too much sometimes? 😩

The noise.

The decisions.

The constant needs.

The mental tabs you can’t seem to close.

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Melissa Sonners — nervous system guide, brainwave educator, and author of The Connection Code — to explore what’s really happening beneath that “too much” feeling.

We unpack why overwhelm isn’t a sign that you’re failing… it’s a nervous system response. Why overthinking and irritability are states of protection. And how understanding nervous system regulation changes the way we approach burnout, reactivity, and emotional exhaustion in motherhood.

Melissa shares how simple two-minute “microdoses” of connection, rhythm, light exposure, and play can gently guide your body back toward safety — without adding more to your plate.

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, reactive, or constantly on edge, this episode will help you understand your body instead of fighting it.

Because healing isn’t about becoming someone new.

It’s about returning to yourself. 💛

Motherhood carries an emotional load that often goes unseen — and unspoken.

In this episode of the Wildly Well Mamas Podcast, I’m joined by Kelly Dzioba, a perinatal therapist at Sunshine City Counseling, for a grounding and compassionate conversation about the emotional landscape of motherhood.

Together, we explore perinatal mental health across the full spectrum — from fertility and pregnancy to postpartum and beyond — and talk about the subtle signs of emotional overwhelm that so many women experience but rarely name. We discuss postpartum anxiety, burnout, rage, guilt, and the invisible mental load mothers carry, often while telling themselves they’re “fine.”

This conversation offers language, validation, and clarity — without shame or alarm — and gently reminds you that emotional health matters just as much as physical health, and that support can be both accessible and deeply human.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, emotionally stretched thin, or unsure whether what you’re experiencing is “normal,” this episode is for you.

1. What perinatal mental health truly includes
2. Common (and often overlooked) signs of emotional distress in motherhood
3. Why rage and irritability are often signals, not personal failures
4. The mental load mothers carry — and how it shows up emotionally
5. How to prepare for postpartum support beyond physical nesting
6. What therapy can look like when it feels safe, grounding, and supportive
7. Why asking for help is a strength, not a weakness

We hear so many stories of fear and crisis when it comes to birth.

This episode offers something different.

In this conversation, I sit down with Kristin Anderson — trauma-informed life coach, intuitive spiritual guide, and photographer — to share an unconventional and deeply spiritual birth story.

Rather than a how-to or a teaching episode, this is a story-led conversation that invites reflection on birth as a spiritual portal, the mystery of time and consciousness, and the ways birth can shape a woman’s understanding of her body, intuition, and inner power.

This episode is for the woman who feels called to hear a more expansive, reverent perspective on birth — whether she is pregnant, postpartum, healing, or simply curious about what else is possible.

✨ A gentle note for listeners:

Kristin shares an empowering and unique birth story in this episode. If your birth unfolded differently than you hoped, this conversation may stir emotion. All birth stories are sacred. This episode is offered as a story — not to be compared to — but to gently inspire hope and expand what feels possible when it comes to the magic of birth.

In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with Emmanuela Mujica, a certified spiritual life coach and relationship expert, to explore what it really looks like to heal through relationships while raising kids.

We talk about how motherhood can become a powerful catalyst for healing — inviting us to turn inward with compassion, tend to our own unmet needs, and show up more consciously in our partnerships and families. Emmanuela shares her personal journey as a mama of four in a blended family, along with psycho-spiritual insights that weave together emotional healing, self-love, and sacred communication.

In this episode, I wanted to offer both hope and practical tools for mothers navigating the emotional load of parenting, partnership, and personal growth. My hope is that this conversation reminds you that healing doesn’t have to happen alone — and that connection begins by gently turning back toward yourself.

✨ In this episode, we explore:

1. How healing unfolds through relationship — with yourself and others
2. What psycho-spiritual healing looks like in real life and motherhood
3. Simple ways to practice self-love while caring for others
4. How conscious communication can strengthen connection at home
5. Why support and self-compassion matter so deeply on the healing journey

🌿 If you’re feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or longing for deeper connection in your relationships, I hope this episode feels like a soft place to land — and a reminder that healing is possible, even in the midst of motherhood.

I’m so honored to welcome Belinda Ruiz back to Wildly Well Mamas. In this episode — part two of our three-part functional medicine series — we dive into a conversation that feels especially timely for so many moms right now.

Belinda Ruiz is a Family Nurse Practitioner and the founder of B Holistic Health, a concierge-style virtual functional medicine practice. Her journey into integrative health began after losing her mother to liver cancer and navigating her own experience with adrenal fatigue and depression — experiences that shaped her passion for helping others heal at the root.

In this conversation, we talk about chronic fatigue, anxiety, and burnout — the kind of exhaustion that doesn’t go away with sleep and often gets dismissed when labs come back “normal.” Belinda helps us unpack how stress, nervous system imbalance, hormones, and nutrition quietly drain our energy, and how functional medicine looks at the body as a whole to uncover what’s really going on.

✨ In this episode, we explore:

1. Why exhaustion is so common in motherhood
2. How stress impacts energy, hormones, and the nervous system
3. Why conventional labs often miss the root cause of fatigue
4. Simple ways to support energy, including blood sugar balance and protein intake
5. How breathwork and mindfulness can help regulate stress

If you’re feeling depleted, unseen, or stuck in survival mode, this conversation offers validation, clarity, and a gentle path forward.

In this episode of Wildly Well Mamas, I’m exploring the often-forgotten power of play — and why it’s not something we outgrow, but something many of us slowly forget.

In a culture that celebrates productivity and constant doing, I see so many women — especially mothers — resist play. I’ve felt that resistance myself. But play isn’t the opposite of growth. It’s one of the most natural ways back into presence, creativity, and resilience.

In this episode, I share personal stories and gentle science to show how play helps regulate the nervous system, awaken curiosity, and soften the places in us that have learned to stay tight and vigilant. I also explore whimsy, beauty, and everyday moments of play — and how motherhood invites us back into joy and connection.

This episode is an invitation to let life feel lighter — and to remember how to be here… now.

✨ In this episode, I explore:

1. Why adults (especially moms) often resist play
2. How play shifts the nervous system from survival into safety
3. The connection between play, creativity, learning, and adaptability
4. What whimsy looks like in everyday life
5. Simple ways to invite more joy and lightness into your days

What does it really mean to care for ourselves while caring for our children — not someday later, not when things slow down, but alongside motherhood as it unfolds?

In this heartfelt episode of Wildly Well Mamas, I’m joined by Britt Addis, family nurse practitioner, St. Pete mom of two, and the heart behind Sunshine City with Kids — a community that brings families together through connection, exploration, and play.

Together, we explore mindful motherhood, wellness, and what it looks like to live consciously while raising children. Britt shares her personal journey through health challenges, motherhood, and building community, offering grounded wisdom on balance, authenticity, and honoring our limits. We talk about self-care not as something separate from parenting, but as an essential part of it — and how playfulness, presence, and support can radically shift our experience of motherhood.

This conversation is a gentle reminder that:

1. Taking care of yourself is taking care of your kids
2. Motherhood is dynamic, evolving, and deeply human
3. Health truly is our wealth
4. Community and authenticity are powerful forms of support
5. Play is not extra — it’s essential

If you’re a mama longing to feel more grounded, fulfilled, and connected — to yourself, your kids, and your community — this episode is for you.

Motherhood doesn’t just stretch our hearts — it stretches us to become more of who we really are.

In this soulful solo episode of Wildly Well Mamas, I explore the principle of Challenge as a not-always-welcome, but necessary catalyst for growth. And I’m not talking about the hustle-y, push-harder kind of challenge — but the kind that gently stretches your edges and supports conscious evolution.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why motherhood is both joyful and deeply challenging — and why that’s okay
• The difference between the comfort zone, growth zone, and danger zone
• How real confidence and resilience are built in the growth zone
• Why challenge isn’t about tearing yourself apart, but about stretching with intention

I also share personal stories from this year — including starting this podcast before I felt ready and embarrassing myself while speaking Spanish — to show how allowing yourself to be uncomfortable (and even a little bad at something) is often the doorway to becoming more yourself.

We explore how Challenge connects to — but feels different from — Play, and why community support matters when we’re doing brave things.

If you’ve been feeling called toward something new…

If you sense the stretch but hesitate at the discomfort…

This episode is an invitation to step into growth — gently, bravely, and together. 🙌

✨ Plus reflection questions woven throughout the episode to support your own next edge.
