What does it really mean to be a "selfish mom"? In this raw and candid episode, I open up about my recent Hashimoto's diagnosis and why it's become my wake-up call to prioritize my health again. After years of putting everyone else first, I'm embarking on a 30-day journey eliminating gluten, dairy, and sugar—not from a place of restriction, but with the hope of reclaiming my energy and feeling like myself again.

Many of you have noticed my recent weight changes and asked if I'm using GLP-1s. The answer is no, but I share my honest thoughts on weight loss aids and why sustainable habits matter more than quick fixes. I also tackle the uncomfortable truth that losing weight doesn't automatically make you content with your body—something I've learned firsthand after losing over 50 pounds.

The reality of life with three boys ages 11, 7, and 2 isn't always Instagram-perfect. I confess to moments of disassociation, feeling overstimulated, and sometimes sitting in my car before entering the house just to catch my breath. These aren't failures—they're necessary adaptations when you're stretched thin. The secret isn't doing it all perfectly; it's getting back in the driver's seat of your life rather than letting life happen to you.

For those struggling to find themselves amid the chaos of motherhood, I'm launching a six-week Selfish Mom Method coaching program designed to help you prioritize your mental and physical health while creating sustainable routines. Because here's what I've learned: taking care of yourself isn't selfish—it's the foundation that allows you to show up fully for everyone else.

Ready to redefine what being "selfish" really means? This conversation might be exactly what you need to hear.

What if taking time for yourself was the key to being the best mom you can be? Join me on the Selfish Mom Podcast, where I share my personal journey of navigating weight loss, energy slumps, and a decrease in sex drive over the past two years. I candidly discuss what has and hasn't worked for me, from various diets to exploring supplements and medications. Together, we’ll challenge the notion of selfishness, emphasizing that prioritizing our well-being is essential for thriving, not just surviving. Plus, I’m excited to announce plans to bring in experts like a hormone specialist and a breast implant illness doctor to enrich our understanding and empower us with knowledge.

My story continues as I recount recovery and fitness battles following my three C-sections. Movement is vital during postpartum recovery, and I'll walk you through the importance of easing back into physical activity while honoring your body's limits. I open up about postpartum weight struggles, especially while nursing, and underline the importance of self-awareness and consistency in self-care. You'll hear about my experience with body changes and the realistic expectations we should set, reminding us all that every body is unique and worthy of respect.

The episode wraps up with insights into managing health issues such as hormone imbalances and ADHD. My path through functional medicine, ADHD medication like Wellbutrin, and dietary shifts like the carnivore diet reveals a blend of modern and holistic approaches. I stress the importance of understanding root causes to achieve long-term health improvements. Listen to my honest reflections and learn how balancing lifestyle changes with medical interventions has helped me reclaim energy and focus. Let's redefine what it means to be "selfish" together by taking charge of our mental and physical health.
