Katie: Hi there and welcome to the 700th episode of the Wellness Mama podcast. It’s arduous to consider that it has been 700 episodes since I started in 2014. And I’m so honored that I’ve gotten to talk to so many unbelievable folks on this podcast and to share these conversations with you. And I assumed it will be becoming on this episode to speak by way of very briefly some life classes, some new instructions and shifts, and a few issues of letting go which have occurred for me within the final couple of years.
I do know I’ve been a bit extra faraway from the web world as I’ve gone by way of some private transitions. And that’s additionally led to some potential transitions in how I present up as Wellness Mama on-line. And so I needed to simply vulnerably share from that right now. And I additionally requested you guys on Instagram any questions you had, and people had been really those that got here up probably the most round life shifts, the latest divorce that’s occurred in my life, how co-parenting goes, a variety of issues associated to that. Additionally how or if that can have an effect on Wellness Mama. So that’s my focus on this solo episode right now.
I might say beginning broadly with a the place we’ve come from type of chapter. I really feel like the previous few years have been a journey to extra built-in well being. I, at first, spoke far more solely in regards to the bodily well being aspect as a result of that’s the place my power and intention had been going. And I do assume that that aspect is crucial however I even have come to consider it’s extra nuanced than I assumed. Actually extra individualized and personalised and far more impacted by psychological and emotional well being than I used to assume.
Like I mentioned, for years, that was the one piece I’ve actually centered on. And as I’ve shared some in different episodes, nothing even in bodily well being shifted considerably for me till I additionally addressed the internal aspect, the psychological and emotional elements and actually labored on letting go and resolving these after which noticed these shifts manifest in my bodily life as properly.
I really feel like I’ve personally modified considerably, even within the final 100 episodes. And like I mentioned, I’ve taken some private time to undergo these huge changes in my life and to simply be current with my youngsters. And my private lesson and theme for the previous few years has concerned an entire lot of letting go and of studying how you can consciously domesticate peace. And it’s been lovely, actually generally difficult, and it’s nonetheless a journey in progress. However I’m excited to have the ability to share extra of it with you, together with right here on the podcast and on wellnessmama.com, as a result of I’ve realized in the previous few months particularly that in some methods I’ve stored massive components of myself out of Wellness Mama for years, partially for worry of judgment and in addition partially as a result of I anxious that some components may not be relatable or fascinating to different folks.
So particularly, I haven’t talked actually a lot publicly about my divorce and the large and investing that I’ve been doing for over a decade and actually having fun with as a result of I anxious that these wouldn’t be, like I mentioned, useful or relatable. And after I actually thought it by way of, I spotted that most individuals will undergo some form of huge life or relationship transition of their lives and that the majority girls I do know are literally concerned in finance or enterprise or have some form of enterprise or hustle that they do on their very own. And so I’m really actually excited to get to begin opening up extra to different elements of my life that I’ve beforehand been a bit bit extra non-public about. That doesn’t imply I’ll in all probability share particulars of my youngsters’ lives on-line as a result of I nonetheless really feel these are theirs to share. However I’m excited to open up and speak about extra subjects and hopefully a extra holistic method of all that goes into motherhood and of being a girl.
Actually the opposite subjects are usually not going away both and neither is the content material. However I do hope it will convey some new and fascinating course and company.
Now on a private stage. The most important life shift for me personally, after all, has been the divorce. And like I mentioned, I’ve shied away from speaking about this publicly for 2 causes. First, that it felt like a failure and I had some huge feelings round that. And it was robust to face personally with out public opinion for some time. And so I took a while to do this. However secondly, I needed to verify earlier than I did that I might maintain my very own boundary about not ever saying something unfavourable about him publicly, which was a vow I made through the course of, during which I deliberate to uphold. And I really do assume that regardless of some robust patches, we had been really capable of navigate it very respectfully and whereas staying principally actually form even towards one another and attempting to maintain the children and their transition in it in addition to the main target.
I really feel like for me personally, it was an ideal instance and follow of understanding that I actually solely do have the flexibility to manage my very own ideas and actions and feelings, and that I might nonetheless select kindness towards the opposite one that was possible additionally hurting and experiencing his personal feelings round every little thing.
And for anybody else who’s navigated this life change or may be navigating it now, two issues I discovered particularly useful had been vowing to by no means let him make an enemy out of me. Regardless of how tough the method received, I used to be very agency in not letting it ever escalate and never letting him make an enemy out of me as a result of I might no less than management my aspect of that equation and in addition to by no means converse negatively about him, particularly to our youngsters, however to anybody exterior of remedy.
One piece of recommendation that we discovered useful that got here from a therapist was we every designated a small record of protected people who we had been capable of discuss by way of our emotions about with them, which included therapists and shut mates, however we determined to not vent or converse poorly about one another exterior of that. And I really feel like that was useful to us personally and in addition to our youngsters, as a result of I do assume it may very well be hurtful for them to listen to unfavourable issues about both of their dad and mom. And I solely know my aspect of that, however it appeared to assist my feelings to have these boundaries and to decide on kindness even after I was actually annoyed.
We additionally managed to navigate a comparatively sophisticated logistical and authorized course of with out opposing attorneys or court docket dates or preventing. In actual fact, we pre-negotiated and even pre-organized all of the property in a approach that appeared honest and type to each of us. And we had been capable of simply have a decide log off on every little thing. And it looks like that is maybe uncommon, not the best way it usually goes. And it’s one thing I would share extra about sooner or later if anybody’s .
I learn the ebook, Aware Uncoupling, and I discovered that recommendation useful, however I additionally would possibly find yourself releasing a ebook sooner or later that’s a bit bit extra in depth about the best way we went by way of the method, as a result of I do assume we discovered some distinctive methods to navigate it that appeared to restrict the emotional and monetary turmoil that may typically accompany an uncoupling. So like I mentioned, that’s one thing I would share extra of sooner or later. I do know it gained’t apply to everybody, however I additionally know from all of the individuals who confirmed as much as assist me that it does apply to lots of people in right now’s world.
And for me now, that additionally implies that I’ve transitioned to life as a single father or mother and all that goes with that. He now lives in one other state and he comes again to see the children about as soon as a month, however I’m largely answerable for basically all the child logistics and care through the month for more often than not. And it’s really solely been a fairly small adjustment, particularly with older youngsters who can drive now. And I’ve tried to simply preserve the concentrate on being current with them. I reread the ebook, Be Right here Now, and I attempt to use that as a form of motto of types for myself, is simply be right here now and benefit from the moments as a result of it’s unbelievable how fleeting they’re. And my oldest now turning 17. It’s actually, it’s wild to assume that I solely have a yr left with him as a toddler.
And on a strictly private stage, solely as a result of I received a couple of questions on this on Instagram, I’m undoubtedly not centered on getting into the courting scene, I believe is the way it was worded on there. And I actually acknowledge that preferences can shift in main methods, however I don’t presently see myself ever desirous to get married once more. I received married very younger. I had six youngsters fairly shortly all by the point I used to be 28. So I’m really simply actually having fun with with the ability to sleep alone, having a tiny little bit of solitude and leaning into peace and simply being current as a lot as doable that may occur in a busy home with six youngsters.
And I additionally received a variety of questions on that observe in regards to the youngsters and the way they’re doing and how you can assist youngsters navigate arduous modifications that may be painful and really feel out of their management. And this was, after all, one of many most important issues throughout this course of as properly, I believe, for each of us. And whereas I actually don’t assume a change like this comes with out some stage of adjustment for everybody concerned, I do assume that we had been each capable of put our personal egos apart and be capable to assist the children navigate it fairly properly, too.
The large piece of recommendation I might return to right here is basically simply holding agency to that boundary of not talking or performing negatively towards or about one another. This was a chunk of recommendation that we each received in remedy very immediately. And we had been even instructed in no unsure phrases that when one father or mother speaks negatively in regards to the different to the youngsters, it’s not solely painful for them, however it’s really a type of youngster abuse. And so we each labored and did a variety of work internally to verify we had our personal emotional assist buildings and other people in place in order that we weren’t counting on our youngsters for emotional assist and as a substitute may very well be there for them and present up as a protected and non-judgmental area as they course of their feelings as properly.
And definitely there have been feelings to course of on all fronts. For me, a number of the feelings I felt and processed throughout that had been issues like my disgrace about it being a failure and being in opposition to the opinion of necessary folks in my life, like my dad and mom or the faith I used to be raised in. I confronted disappointment, which was an enormous childhood set off for me. That was type of my worst-case situation was ever disappointing anybody. And in addition guilt as a result of I spotted that working by way of my previous trauma, I spotted that I used to be undoubtedly an element that led to shifts in me that contributed to the wedding ending. I additionally had anger and frustration and lots of different feelings at totally different occasions that I set to work by way of and hopefully launch and that appear far more peaceable now. And I hope the identical for him. We now have been capable of keep amicable and have common conversations in regards to the youngsters and each present up for them. And I’m extraordinarily grateful to have a co-parent who was keen to place apart the anger and the large emotions and to work collectively for the children, even now as co-parents. So I do know that not each situation that is ready to occur, however actually I’m grateful that we had been each in a position to do this on this time.
On the co-parenting aspect, we do nonetheless verify in with one another and have conversations in regards to the youngsters. And one of the best recommendation I can provide right here is goes again to maintain that focus of by no means making enemies of one another, utilizing form phrases and conserving the children’ wants as a spotlight. We did map out a fairly complete co-parenting plan collectively, and fortunately we’re nonetheless aligned on most kid-related issues. And when disagreements do come up, which is fairly uncommon, we’ve been capable of have conversations and determine an answer. And we each, I believe, keep the concept that we’d slightly put our personal pleasure apart and make choices which can be greatest for the children slightly than get the court docket system concerned. And I do know that does require each folks being keen to do this, and I’m tremendous grateful that we had been capable of.
And I’m additionally, as I mentioned, keen to open up much more about these subjects. So please let me know within the feedback or on Instagram if this can be a matter you wish to hear extra about sooner or later, or I’d love to listen to really your ideas and recommendation in case you’ve navigated one thing comparable as properly.
I’m nonetheless, I really feel like in some methods, as cliche because it sounds, attempting to determine who I’m on this section of life and who I’m going ahead. However aye. Have been journaling loads. And I’m, like I mentioned, I’m nonetheless attempting to pinpoint it, however I had a stream of consciousness journal that appeared to love contact on no less than a number of the locations I’m proper now.
And I wrote this the opposite day that I’m in my peace period, my unashamed period, my internal fireplace period, my candy and savory period, my generally salty period, my consuming espresso in mattress period, my would possibly get a pet tiger period, my home vegetation in all places period, my blankets and pillows period, my harem pants period, my unbrushed hair and salty pores and skin period. My put on garments I really love and never care what different folks assume period. My inventive period, my studying issues that talk to my soul period, my journey period, my run by way of the forest barefoot period. My ravenous period, my wild period, my untamed period, my fierce period, my rebellious period, my mild and nurturing period, my lioness period, my embracing the female period.
And as you may think, that many private life shifts additionally led to some enterprise shifts as properly. And on the Wellness Mama aspect. I had a few of these tied into my private ones. And as I mentioned, I spotted I used to be solely displaying floor stage components of myself as Wellness Mama and it began to really feel inauthentic. And I misplaced a number of the ardour I had within the early days. In actual fact, I not too long ago additionally journaled and wrote an obituary for the particular person Wellness Mama was up to now and I used to be absolutely ready to let it go. And as soon as I had, I spotted that maybe this can be a caterpillar loss of life of types, and that the brand new model rising is one which I’m enthusiastic about once more. I believe that is going to contain, like I mentioned, speaking extra overtly about subjects that I’ve talked about. Getting again to nurturing the guts of group and connection prefer it was within the earlier days. And I needed to share simply as a private observe, the obituary I wrote as I’m sharing my journey by way of this to make clear no precise people died within the making of this obituary. Simply my on-line persona, Wellness Mama is just not going away. It’s simply shifting into hopefully a extra dynamic and genuine place. And I spotted simply as motherhood is a native land and loss of life, we lose who we had been earlier than motherhood. It seems like maybe a rebirth into a brand new period for Wellness Mama as properly. And I’m excited for that. However what I wrote within the midst of the large shifts within the turmoil was.
In loving reminiscence of Wellness Mama…… Wellness Mama, the enigmatic mom of six, whose youngsters’ names nonetheless stay undisclosed on the web, the mastermind behind wellnessmama.com, and the voice behind the Wellness Mama podcast has gracefully taken her remaining bow with a bittersweet mix of gratitude, tears, and a sigh of reduction.

A feat worthy in a Nobel Prize in Endurance, had there been a class for collective maternal endurance, which after all, if there have been, all moms would declare yearly.

In lieu Digital Bouquets, she implores you to honor her reminiscence by being absolutely current together with your family members, sharing laughter over a home-cooked meal, spontaneously breaking into dance, and embracing the boundless energy of unconditional love.

An necessary letting go and an necessary rebirth for me personally. And I additionally thought that maybe a extra genuine introduction could be an ideal place to begin on this podcast particularly. And so that is one really that I modified from a model I wrote to a good friend who I hadn’t seen in a very long time or talked to shortly and within the effort of attempting to be extra all the best way myself on-line.

This podcast is delivered to you by Wellnesse. And this can be a firm that I received to assist co-found and formulate the merchandise for and one which I care deeply about. Oral well being has been a enjoyable analysis matter for me for properly over a decade. Once I found I had some cavities and began studying in regards to the strategy of remineralization and the way our enamel have the flexibility to remain stronger and more healthy, depending on a variety of elements, together with our vitamin, our oral microbiome, and the setting of our mouth. And because of this we use one thing referred to as hydroxyapatite, which is a naturally occurring mineral that’s used within the enamel of our enamel. And there’s some fascinating research that present that that is actually efficient at serving to preserve enamel robust and wholesome. And that is additionally why I selected to not use fluoride in my merchandise. Hydroxyapatite has most of the similar upsides with out the potential downsides that include fluoride and is actually a lot safer for kids as properly.
I actually delved into the analysis across the oral microbiome. And I really like that that is now an rising space of dialog and analysis. However when our oral microbiome is robust, that helps us keep away from each ends of the spectrum. One could be issues like strep mutans, which is the micro organism linked to cavities, in addition to the host of micro organism which can be linked to issues like gingivitis. Each of these might be combated by having a extremely wholesome oral microbiome.
So we’ve not too long ago launched probiotic mints which have 4 probiotic strains that assist improve the oral microbiome and by selecting microbiome protected elements, in addition to hydroxyapatite for tooth enamel within the toothpaste. So you’ll be able to try these in addition to our full line of haircare merchandise and different oral well being merchandise as properly by going to wellnesse.com.
So all that to say. I’m excited for the brand new instructions. I’m extremely grateful to these of you who’ve been with me on this journey for thus a few years and for the years to come back and what it would appear like.
And I additionally, like I mentioned, it’s not about bodily well being to me anymore, however there have been some recurring themes of the final 100 episodes that I needed to simply briefly spotlight earlier than I finish this podcast. So these shall be form of my prime takeaways that had been recurring in variety of the previous 100 episodes. Actually, the widespread thread right here is that the straightforward and free issues are sometimes probably the most impactful however typically neglected as a result of they’re so easy. Recurring themes are issues just like the significance of sleep and of getting morning daylight. And there’s a variety of element and nuance that goes inside these and lots of podcasts on these subjects. However getting morning daylight particularly is one which I like to recommend actually because I believe that is really good for physique, thoughts and soul to get exterior as quickly as doable after waking up, even on a cloudy day, even for simply 5 minutes and get pure gentle in our eyes, not by way of a window. And the science says this really does assist our circadian rhythm and enhance sleep and melatonin manufacturing as properly. It’s additionally very useful for youths in case your youngsters have hassle sleeping. And it’s fully free. So it’s one which I and lots of company have beneficial.
One other theme you guys are in all probability uninterested in me saying by now could be that we’re every our personal main healthcare supplier. And I might not too long ago add Healer to the record. And that whereas we are able to work with wonderful medical doctors and practitioners, and I hope that we do once we want them, that on the finish of the day, the duty at all times lies inside us. However the magnificence is that we have already got inside us every little thing we want. And type of puzzle piece along with that. Is the concept I’ve talked loads about, about our physique is at all times on our aspect. Dr. Cassie Huckaby talked about this as properly in her episode. I believe particularly for these of us who’ve skilled autoimmune illness, it’s simple to really feel like our physique is out to get us. And she or he had an ideal reminder that our physique is at all times on our aspect. It’s at all times attempting to heal. It’s at all times attempting to dwell its greatest life. And that if it needed to kill us, it might do it in lower than a second. It might be instantaneous. And it’s not, it’s at all times attempting to be on our aspect. And so we are able to work with it to seek out the issues that it wants that it doesn’t have, or to take away the issues which can be conserving it from with the ability to heal.
In fact, in that there’s the theme of addressing stress, which is a shifting goal in right now’s world actually, and one which I’ve skilled fairly acutely the final couple of years, however a really useful and worthwhile pursuit as properly. There’s been a number of discuss within the final 100 episodes of the significance of protein particularly, however in adequately fueling our our bodies with sufficient vitamin. And statistically, that is particularly an element for ladies that we want extra protein than many people are getting. We want extra vitamins than many people are getting. And in right now’s world, it’s very simple to get a weight loss program that’s probably sufficient energy, however not sufficient vitamins, which sends stress alerts to our physique and may make it tough to stability hormones or to succeed in a wholesome weight or to sleep properly. And this can be a shifting goal for me as properly. I’m untraining years of not consuming sufficient and studying how you can correctly gas my physique and take heed to what it needs.
In parallel with my very own journey, there’s been a recurring theme of the significance of addressing the psychological and emotional elements of well being. And like I mentioned, whereas I ignored these fully for many years, I’ve now come to see them as no less than equal or probably extra necessary components of the general well being equation as a result of they tie in so on to bodily well being. And I’ve many episodes on this already and lots of extra coming sooner or later as properly. I’ve additionally talked loads about minerals and had many company speak about these as properly. I take advantage of ones like Eidon and upgraded formulation and LMNT, however I do assume that many people may benefit from much more minerals than we’re getting as a result of our our bodies are literally not 60% water, however 60% saltwater. And a variety of us are merely not getting sufficient minerals to adequately replenish. That is very true in case you sweat loads, whether or not it’s within the sauna, whether or not it’s athletics, whether or not it’s residing in a sizzling local weather. I learn the statistic you could lose extra minerals in 5 years in these situations than the typical particular person can in a lifetime. So I’ve seen firsthand how far more power can come once we get the mineral equation proper, and it’s one I typically encourage now.
After which ending with the concept that our physique is at all times on our aspect and is at all times there to be our good friend. This was a tough realized lesson for me and one which I’m glad has come up in so many podcast episodes. And as we transfer on to the subsequent 100 and hopefully 300 and hopefully many extra podcast episodes, I might actually love to listen to from you and nonetheless you wanna attain out, whether or not it’s through e mail or Instagram messages or feedback on the location, which I do learn.
