Katie: Hiya 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 individuals on this podcast and to share these conversations with you. And I believed it will be becoming on this episode to speak by 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 slightly extra faraway from the net world as I’ve gone by 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 wished to only vulnerably share from that immediately. And I additionally requested you guys on Instagram any questions you had, and people had been truly 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 whole lot of issues associated to that. Additionally how or if that may have an effect on Wellness Mama. So that’s my focus on this solo episode immediately.
I might say beginning broadly with a the place we’ve come from form of chapter. I really feel like the previous few years have been a journey to extra built-in well being. I, to start with, spoke far more solely concerning the bodily well being aspect as a result of that’s the place my power and intention had been going. And I do suppose that that aspect is important however I even have come to consider it’s extra nuanced than I believed. Definitely extra individualized and customized and far more impacted by psychological and emotional well being than I used to suppose.
Like I mentioned, for years, that was the one piece I’ve actually targeted 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 interior aspect, the psychological and emotional facets and actually labored on letting go and resolving these after which noticed these shifts manifest in my bodily life as nicely.
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 only 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 methods to consciously domesticate peace. And it’s been stunning, definitely 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 saved massive elements of myself out of Wellness Mama for years, partially for worry of judgment and in addition partially as a result of I nervous that some elements may not be relatable or attention-grabbing to different individuals.
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 nervous that these wouldn’t be, like I mentioned, useful or relatable. And after I actually thought it by, I spotted that most individuals will undergo some kind of huge life or relationship transition of their lives and that almost all ladies I do know are literally concerned in finance or enterprise or have some kind of enterprise or hustle that they do on their very own. And so I’m truly actually excited to get to begin opening up extra to different facets of my life that I’ve beforehand been slightly bit extra personal about. That doesn’t imply I’ll most likely 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 matters and hopefully a extra holistic strategy of all that goes into motherhood and of being a lady.
Definitely the opposite matters are usually not going away both and neither is the content material. However I do hope it will deliver some new and attention-grabbing path 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 try this. However secondly, I wished to verify earlier than I did that I may maintain my very own boundary about not ever saying something adverse about him publicly, which was a vow I made throughout the course of, by which I deliberate to uphold. And I truly do suppose that regardless of some robust patches, we had been truly in a position to navigate it very respectfully and whereas staying largely actually type even towards one another and making an attempt to maintain the children and their transition in it in addition to the main focus.
I really feel like for me personally, it was an ideal instance and apply of understanding that I really solely do have the power to regulate my very own ideas and actions and feelings, and that I may nonetheless select kindness towards the opposite one that was seemingly additionally hurting and experiencing his personal feelings round all the things.
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. Irrespective of how tough the method acquired, 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 may 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 listing of protected folks that we had been in a position to discuss by our emotions about with them, which included therapists and shut pals, 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 suppose it might be hurtful for them to listen to adverse 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 truth, we pre-negotiated and even pre-organized all of the belongings in a manner that appeared honest and type to each of us. And we had been in a position to simply have a decide log out on all the things. And it looks like that is maybe uncommon, not the way in which it usually goes. And it’s one thing I’d share extra about sooner or later if anybody’s .
I learn the e book, Acutely aware Uncoupling, and I discovered that recommendation useful, however I additionally would possibly find yourself releasing a e book sooner or later that’s slightly bit extra in depth about the way in which we went by the method, as a result of I do suppose we discovered some distinctive methods to navigate it that appeared to restrict the emotional and monetary turmoil that may usually accompany an uncoupling. So like I mentioned, that’s one thing I’d share extra of sooner or later. I do know it received’t apply to everybody, however I additionally know from all of the individuals who confirmed as much as help me that it does apply to lots of people in immediately’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 accountable for basically all the child logistics and care throughout the month for more often than not. And it’s truly solely been a fairly small adjustment, particularly with older youngsters who can drive now. And I’ve tried to only preserve the give attention to being current with them. I reread the e book, Be Right here Now, and I attempt to use that as a kind of motto of kinds 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 suppose that I solely have a 12 months left with him as a baby.
And on a strictly private stage, solely as a result of I acquired a couple of questions on this on Instagram, I’m undoubtedly not targeted on coming into the relationship scene, I believe is the way it was worded on there. And I definitely acknowledge that preferences can shift in main methods, however I don’t presently see myself ever desirous to get married once more. I acquired married very younger. I had six youngsters fairly rapidly all by the point I used to be 28. So I’m truly simply actually having fun with having 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 acquired a whole lot of questions on that word concerning the youngsters and the way they’re doing and methods to assist youngsters navigate arduous modifications that may be painful and really feel out of their management. And this was, after all, one of many important concerns throughout this course of as nicely, I believe, for each of us. And whereas I definitely don’t suppose a change like this comes with out some stage of adjustment for everybody concerned, I do suppose that we had been each in a position to put our personal egos apart and be capable of assist the children navigate it fairly nicely, too.
The large piece of recommendation I might return to right here is absolutely simply holding agency to that boundary of not talking or performing negatively towards or about one another. This was a bit of recommendation that we each acquired in remedy very immediately. And we had been even advised in no unsure phrases that when one father or mother speaks negatively concerning the different to the kids, it’s not solely painful for them, however it’s truly a type of youngster abuse. And so we each labored and did a whole lot of work internally to verify we had our personal emotional help constructions and folks in place in order that we weren’t counting on our youngsters for emotional help and as an alternative might be there for them and present up as a protected and non-judgmental house as they course of their feelings as nicely.
And definitely there have been feelings to course of on all fronts. For me, a few 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 vital individuals 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 form of my worst-case state of affairs was ever disappointing anybody. And in addition guilt as a result of I spotted that working by 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 plenty of different feelings at completely different occasions that I started working by and hopefully launch and that appear far more peaceable now. And I hope the identical for him. We now have been in a position to keep amicable and have common conversations concerning 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 state of affairs that is ready to occur, however definitely I’m grateful that we had been each in a position to try this on this time.
On the co-parenting aspect, we do nonetheless examine in with one another and have conversations concerning the youngsters. And the perfect recommendation I may give right here is goes again to maintain that focus of by no means making enemies of one another, utilizing type phrases and holding 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 in a position to have conversations and determine an answer. And we each, I believe, keep the concept that we’d relatively put our personal delight apart and make choices which can be greatest for the children relatively than get the court docket system concerned. And I do know that does require each individuals being keen to try this, and I’m tremendous grateful that we had been in a position to.
And I’m additionally, as I mentioned, keen to open up much more about these matters. So please let me know within the feedback or on Instagram if this can be a subject you want to hear extra about sooner or later, or I’d love to listen to truly your ideas and recommendation should you’ve navigated one thing related as nicely.
I’m nonetheless, I really feel like in some methods, as cliche because it sounds, making an attempt to determine who I’m on this part of life and who I’m going ahead. However aye. Have been journaling lots. And I’m, like I mentioned, I’m nonetheless making an attempt to pinpoint it, however I had a stream of consciousness journal that appeared to love contact on no less than a few 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 interior fireplace period, my candy and savory period, my generally salty period, my ingesting espresso in mattress period, my would possibly get a pet tiger period, my home vegetation all over the place period, my blankets and pillows period, my harem pants period, my unbrushed hair and salty pores and skin period. My put on garments I truly love and never care what different individuals suppose period. My artistic period, my studying issues that talk to my soul period, my journey period, my run by the forest barefoot period. My ravenous period, my wild period, my untamed period, my fierce period, my rebellious period, my light 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 nicely. 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 elements of myself as Wellness Mama and it began to really feel inauthentic. And I misplaced a few of the ardour I had within the early days. In truth, I just lately additionally journaled and wrote an obituary for the particular person Wellness Mama was prior 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 demise of kinds, 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 brazenly about matters that I’ve talked about. Getting again to nurturing the center of group and connection prefer it was within the earlier days. And I wished to share simply as a private word, the obituary I wrote as I’m sharing my journey by this to make clear no precise people died within the making of this obituary. Simply my on-line persona, Wellness Mama will not be going away. It’s simply shifting into hopefully a extra dynamic and genuine place. And I spotted simply as motherhood is a hometown and demise, we lose who we had been earlier than motherhood. It seems like maybe a rebirth into a brand new period for Wellness Mama as nicely. 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.

And so that is one truly that I modified from a model I wrote to a pal who I hadn’t seen in a very long time or talked to shortly and within the effort of making an attempt to be extra all the way in which myself on-line.

This podcast is delivered to you by Wellnesse. And this can be a firm that I acquired to assist co-found and formulate the merchandise for and one which I care deeply about. Oral well being has been a enjoyable analysis subject for me for nicely over a decade. After I found I had some cavities and began studying concerning the means of remineralization and the way our enamel have the power to remain stronger and more healthy, depending on a whole lot of components, together with our diet, our oral microbiome, and the atmosphere of our mouth. And that is why we use one thing known 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 definitely a lot safer for youngsters as nicely.
I actually delved into the analysis across the oral microbiome. And I like that that is now an rising space of dialog and analysis. However when our oral microbiome is powerful, that helps us keep away from each ends of the spectrum. One can 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 will be combated by having a extremely wholesome oral microbiome.

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’s going to seem 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 wished to only briefly spotlight earlier than I finish this podcast. So these will probably be kind of my prime takeaways that had been recurring in a very good variety of the previous 100 episodes. Definitely, the widespread thread right here is that the easy and free issues are sometimes probably the most impactful however usually missed 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 whole lot of element and nuance that goes inside these and plenty of podcasts on these matters. However getting morning daylight particularly is one which I like to recommend actually because I believe that is truly 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 mild in our eyes, not by a window. And the science says this truly does assist our circadian rhythm and enhance sleep and melatonin manufacturing as nicely. It’s additionally very useful for youths in case your youngsters have hassle sleeping. And it’s utterly free. So it’s one which I and plenty of company have really useful.
One other theme you guys are most likely bored with me saying by now could be that we’re every our personal main healthcare supplier. And I might just lately add Healer to the listing. And that whereas we are able to work with wonderful medical doctors and practitioners, and I hope that we do after 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 all the things we want. And form of puzzle piece along with that. Is the thought I’ve talked lots about, about our physique is at all times on our aspect. Dr. Cassie Huckaby talked about this as nicely 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 making an attempt to heal. It’s at all times making an attempt to reside its greatest life. And that if it wished to kill us, it may do it in lower than a second. It might be prompt. And it’s not, it’s at all times making an attempt to be on our aspect. And so we are able to work with it to search out the issues that it wants that it doesn’t have, or to take away the issues which can be holding it from having the ability to heal.
After all, in that there’s the theme of addressing stress, which is a transferring goal in immediately’s world definitely, and one which I’ve skilled fairly acutely the final couple of years, however a really priceless and worthwhile pursuit as nicely. There’s been plenty of discuss within the final 100 episodes of the significance of protein particularly, however in adequately fueling our our bodies with sufficient diet. And statistically, that is particularly an element for girls that we want extra protein than many people are getting. We’d like extra vitamins than many people are getting. And in immediately’s world, it’s very simple to get a food regimen that’s probably sufficient energy, however not sufficient vitamins, which sends stress indicators to our physique and may make it tough to stability hormones or to succeed in a wholesome weight or to sleep nicely. And this can be a transferring goal for me as nicely. I’m untraining years of not consuming sufficient and studying methods to correctly gas my physique and take heed to what it desires.
In parallel with my very own journey, there’s been a recurring theme of the significance of addressing the psychological and emotional facets of well being. And like I mentioned, whereas I ignored these solely for many years, I’ve now come to see them as no less than equal or probably extra vital elements 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 plenty of extra coming sooner or later as nicely. I’ve additionally talked lots about minerals and had many company speak about these as nicely. I exploit ones like Eidon and upgraded formulation and LMNT, however I do suppose 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 whole lot of us are merely not getting sufficient minerals to adequately replenish. That is very true should you sweat lots, whether or not or not it’s within the sauna, whether or not or not it’s athletics, whether or not or not it’s residing in a scorching local weather. I learn the statistic that 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 after we get the mineral equation proper, and it’s one I usually 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 pal.
