In this episode of the Mama Healing Hub, Vanessa, Carrie, and Alyssa sit down for a refreshingly honest and unfiltered convo about what’s in and what’s out in their parenting this year. From ditching the pressure to do gentle parenting “perfectly,” to letting go of food rules, to not taking their kids’ meltdowns personally, this episode is part vent sesh, part permission slip.

They each share the habits, expectations, and mental noise they’re leaving behind and what they’re making space for instead. Screens, nutrition, identity, guilt, parenting style, it’s all on the table, with zero judgment and lots of laughs.

Whether you’re rethinking how you show up at bedtime or just need to hear that you’re not alone in the chaos, this episode is a must-listen for any mom ready to parent a little more like herself.

In this heartfelt episode of the Mama Healing Hub Podcast, Vanessa and Alyssa sit down with Marni Wasserman, real food advocate, nutritionist, and host of The Ultimate Baby Podcast, to talk about the often messy, confusing, and beautiful journey of motherhood and health.

Marni shares her personal story, from a vegetarian lifestyle to being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, and how her path to healing reshaped the way she approaches food, motherhood, and intuition. This conversation is a reminder that there’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to wellness, and that listening to your body can be one of the most powerful tools on your motherhood journey.

✨ This episode is for you if:
– You’ve felt overwhelmed by food trends and wellness advice
– You’ve struggled with postpartum health or autoimmune issues
– You’re learning to trust your instincts more than outside noise
– You want a reminder that motherhood doesn’t require perfection — just presence

🧠 This Month in the Mama Healing Hub:
Each month, our community explores a focused healing theme to support personal growth and nervous system resilience.

July’s theme is: REGULATION.
But we don’t believe regulation means being calm all the time , it means learning to ride the waves, come back to ourselves, and understand what our nervous systems truly need.

💬 Upcoming Drop-In Events for July:
– July 10: The Nervous System in Motherhood with Alyssa
– July 17: Managing the Mental Load with guest expert Madeline Wilson
– July 24: The Basics of Polyvagal Theory with Vanessa

Come join the conversations, meet other like-hearted moms, and get support in a way that feels nourishing and real.

In this soulful and energizing episode, we explore the often-overlooked connection between motherhood and creativity. Vanessa and Carrie dive into how play, imagination, and desire aren't just nice-to-haves , they’re vital lifelines for feeling alive.

We unpack what it means to be in relationship with the unknown, why reclaiming your creative spark takes real courage, and how your desire to want again is a powerful sign of your re-emergence after burnout.

Vanessa also shares a personal story about losing and rediscovering her creativity through motherhood, and how it led to the creation of her Instagram and, ultimately, the Mama Healing Hub.

✨ In This Episode, We Cover:

• Why creativity isn’t about perfection it’s about aliveness

• How play and imagination get buried in motherhood, and how to unearth them again

• The courage it takes to let yourself want after years of self-sacrifice

• Creativity as connection: with your children, your body, and your deeper self

• Personal stories from our own creative awakenings including dance routines to Backstreet Boys and homemade sitcoms
